IE “cannot open page” error messages

I am wondering if the cause is the same problem that I wrote about last August?

Because this is the identical problem happening all over again.


I have resolved it temporarily by doing the following:-

Click on tools
Internet options
Advanced
Go down to the browser section and untick the “show friendly HTTP error messages”


Now, when you next see that pop up “can’t open” DON’T press ok but click on the little cross in the square on the top right of the error message box. Then you will be able to continue posting, reading or answering on a blog.

If I am right then last year bloggers with site meter were affected but also were the bloggers who didn't have site meter but were trying to read a blog that did were also receiving the error messages. So, seems to me that the same thing is happening again but IE does not like some HTML somewhere and it is NOT due to an update as I don't do updates, but it is affecting IE6, IE7, and IE8 users. (I feel a Firefox moment coming on)

Meanwhile my money is on Site meter and I may temporarily remove it tomorrow to see if it resolves the problem, before I blame Bill Gates.
