Strange Problem - IE 9 Can't Show Certain Websites
Hi- I just registered here, mainly because I can't even access the microsoft help forums anymore. This problem suddenly appeared yesterday, and I've spent most of my time since then trying to solve it.
I have Windows 7 Home 64 bit, and I'm using IE9 32 bit. Suddenly yesterday morning IE9 could no longer display pages from certain websites . It connects and tries to fetch the page, but after a minute or two it gives up and displays the standard "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page" message.
Here are some of the websites that IE9 can no longer show:
photobucket.com
barnesandnoble.com
microsoft.com
mail.yahoo.com
Strangely, I can still reach some Yahoo sites, and appear to be signed in, and can even see my mail box on my MyYahoo page, but can't go directly to it.
I've experimented with different settings for IE options, popupblocker, active-x, flash, but nothing helps. I've also added these sites to my list of trusted sites in the security tab, which has the lowest possible security settings, but that doesn't help either.
Another thing I've discovered is that IE9 appears to download part of the source code for these pages but not all of it.
I can still access most sites as usual. It's just particular sites such as those I listed above that have the problem.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this?
Thank you
