Hi, my name is Ronnie. I have a computer running Windows ME, my internet browser will not open any web page even though I am connecting to the internet. It keeps telling me "Page is not available". Here is what I had done so far: Replace Wsock32.dll, uncheck all program that startup. Using "msconfig". and try with other internet provider and still have same problem. Remove all Dial Up Connection and try to connect thru my DSL.

Please help..

my first suspicion is the proxy setting, have you ensure that the proxy is set properly in IE?
if the Win ME and other software were installed properly, proxy should be the only reason.

Have you tried using your Restore when it was working properly,if not then try reinstalling IE5,using the Add/Remove Programs and also download the service pack it sounds like a Java Script problems that needs to updated.

Hi Ronnie
When you connect to the net, can you say log on to any messenger service, maybe FTP etc. ie something other than surfing.
If you can it's obviously only an error with your browser. As you have Me, ur using IE5.5 Why don't you repair itusing add/remove from your control panel.
If however ur unable to connect to any service once u have logged onto the net, it's obviously a problem with ur proxy(if ur on a network) or ur modem settings. Try the modem icon in ur control panel, and in disgnostics, you can check if ur sytem is able to talk to ur modem.
So just start eliminating each possiblity one at a time, and taht should solve ur problem.
