Since upgrading to IE7 (and quickly reverting to IE6) I've been getting lots of "Page Cannot Be Displayed" errors. Sometimes the page will load and sometimes it completely refuses, even though I can access the same page from another machine on the same network.

Also, lots of pictures won't lead, even though the rest of the page comes up, just with the white box and a red cross.

Maybe unconnected but in the last day or two on ebay I find that the "back" button will work after I have done something like clicked to watch an item, or viewed questions.

I've deleted all the cookies (bit of a pain as I'm now having to log in to different sites again, and I've run CCCleaner, but now ebay will only load in a most strange layout. The couple of other sites I've tried so far seem to be behaving normally. UPDATE - the ebay site now loads normally but BACK only works until I have WATCHED something, then it just keeps trying to load the current page.

Any hints?

 

the boxs with x in them means its needing a plugin update

 

get mozilla its shit hot

 

Or reinstall IE 7

 

Or simply do a system resotre back to the day BEFORE you upgraded to IE7

But I would go with Dan - reinstall it... YOu will get used to it - I have and I couldn't go back to IE6 now....

 

Of course you would, for I am yoda

 

OK, when I reverted I did the system restore thing and had all these errors.

I've reinstalled 7 and still get the messages even when clicking known working links.

I've followed the tips suggested and everything seems to be set up OK but WTF do I do now?

Now discovered it does the same on my desktop PC and it has never been anywhere near IE7 so I emailed ebay and they told me to double-click extra fast then use the pull-down menu.

I've since installed Mozilla Firefox and it works fine in there.
