HI

Ok, bare with me as I try to explain my issue.

Beginning of this year, I signed onto my Electric Company account so that I can pay my Electric Bill online. After the second month of paying online, when I signed in and waiting for the new page to come up I get this error page:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Click the Back button to try another link.



Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

At that time, I called my Electric Company and they said that they dont have any webpage issues, and then they signed into on the website using my ID and password and they were able to sign in just fine. I had my mom try and sign in, and she was able to sign in just fine as well as my best friend.

So with them having my ID and Password, they gave me a new one to go onto the site and redo my ID and Password. But still not being able to sign in, I ended up having to cancel my online bill pay account.

So, after time goes by, and my puter acting strange to where I was not able to get on the net, I did a reformat of the puter, (two months ago)

So I thought to go ahead and try signing onto the Electric Co. Site again, got a new ID and password, everything worked GREAT! And now, two months later, I'm getting the same error page AGAIN (Electric Bill due on the 27th )

So, for last nights issue that is really making me pull my hair... I needed to get onto our 401K account, well I was able to get on the MAIN page of the sight, but when I clicked on the area for signing in, I get the same darn error page.

Can SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME correct this issue?!?!? Is this with my settings? Is it something to do with AOL?

Please Help

P.S. I have also tried going throught IE to see if I can get onto my accounts, but still same error page.

Thanks

Staci

Does the web page address start with https:// by any chance?

If so, does this page work for you?

When you try to log on to a Web site by using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, you receive the following error message:

This symptom occurs even when the hard disk has sufficient available space for caching Web content.

This issue occurs when the Index.dat file in the following folder reaches a size of 16187392 bytes:

Hi again 1069,

My date and time are both correct with my my town and state. So not for sure actually what is needed to be done compaired to (having them at the same time and date of the web sights) ?

And I did go into and add the two web sights in the Edit area, but still nothing has changed. I also cleaned the systems Cookies, History and Temp. Interent Files.

But when I did the Edit and added the websites on my system, and then clicked ok, the puter froze so I click Ctrl/Alt/Delete and this is what happend.

BLACK SCREEN.

Start up options;

2. Logged (\BootLog.TXT)
3. Safe Mode <~~~ (Highlighted)
4. Safe Mode with Netwwork Support
5. Step by Step Confirmation
6. Command Prompt Only
7. Safe Mode Command Prompt Only

Warning: Windows did not finish loading on the pervious attempt.
Choose safe mode, to strt windows with a minimal set of drivers.

HIMEM is testing extended memory...done.
Windows XMS Driver Version 3.95
Extended Memory Specification (XMS) version 3.8

Error: HIMEM.SYS has detected unreadable XMS Memory at address 00F00000 XMS Driver not installed.

Continue starting your computer, press Enter.

(Pressed ENTER)

BLACK SCREEN (again)

HIMEM.SYS is missing make sure that the file is in your windows directory.

Windows has stopped. Press Ctrl/Alt/Delete to restart computer.


And now here I am ... And the web sights still give me the same error page.
Any other thoughts on what to do?


Thanks,

Staci

Hey Resident_Blonde...

Do you have your Java enabled and is it up to date? How about pop-up blockers like Google Toolbar? I've seen similar issues in which one or both of these guys was the culprit.

This could be most likely malware blocking access to websites! Is it one site or just random?
