The page cannot be displayed....
Tuesday, June 3, 2003 by White_Moth | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Help please from some of you computer guru's.
I am using Windows ME.
I am on Dial-up.
I am using Internet Explorer 6.0 / SP1
I am a Wincustomize subscriber level 4 user.
I use Wincustomize Skin Browser 1.10 and the latest version of SDC.
I know I need to upgrade to XP and DSL.
Two weeks ago a problem started whenever I came to Wincustomize and tried to access a web page. I would get the first Wincust page, but when I clicked another link such as Wallpaper or Windowblinds or others, I get "The page cannot be displayed".
When I hit the address "Go" button, the page would load.
Now a week later, I have to hit the "Go" button two and three times before the page will load, and sometimes that will not help.
This problem occurs using both SDC and SB, IE, and Crazy Browser.
I had been successfuly using the free versions of Zone Alarm and AVG when the problem started two weeks ago, but I un-installed those and am using a "suggested" Firewall and a new Anti-Virus and am still getting the same problem of "The page cannot be displayed".
Sometimes this problem will extend into Discussions using the Skin Browser on larger threads. This tells me that it may be a "timing out" event, but how do I know?
I do not have this problem on other Web sites.
It just happens that I am a subscriber at this site.
I have even re-installed my IE, but to no avail.
I am at my wits end with this, so any help pointing me to a fix would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you

"I myself have been experience problems where the page forevers tried to load."
Ah, I've seen that too recently on a few occasions, like it's stuck in loading mode yet doesn't load or 404. Although right before and after whatever it is "clears up" the pages load normally. Since it only happened once in a while (in my case so far) I didn't think too much of it.

Happy Daze again,
So far this evening, every link I have clicked on in Wincustomize has opened the way it should. I only partially regret having spent $60.00 I was saving for XP thinking it was my problem, but, I did get some cool software that will run on XP too.
Thanks T-Man.

Just wanted to say that everything is working great again.
Whoever and whatever was done to make that happen, Thank you very much.

I'm still getting it. What happens for me is when I select something, it loads and loads for a few minutes (and the WC image at the top loads) but then it goes to the page cannot be displayed. I have been getting this for about a month now

I have had a few instances of the problem again today, not nearly like it was before, so I guess things are still being ironed out. At least I know it is not my computer and that in itself is a good thing.
