I don't believe that you as the viewer of a web page can do anything about the error.

What has happened is that the content for the box either had a bad link, or timed out before it could be received by your system.

If it is a time out that causes the error, a faster connection on your end could help. One way to check if it is a timeout error is to refresh the page.

If it is a bad link, you have no control over how the person who set up the web page set up their links.

I know this is not what you were looking for, but I hope the explanation helps.

Thanks for answers submitted - please divide points for me.
Problem was caused by an Adware/Spyware Blocker? hijacking the Windows Hosts file, changing addresses of websites that counted clicks, etc to that of my computer [127.0.0.1] and denying meaccess.
Solution was to delete contents of Hosts file, empty Temp/Cache etc and re-start. Turned out to be so simple to fix - Once problem was known. Thanks to Jim Smart for talking me through it via MSN Messenger.
