HELP! "Int. Expl cannot display webpage" message

[stylerchick]

I'm desperately trying to get the best seats to a concert off of TM/Livenation. This means i've been accessing both websites up to 100X the past few days. NOW, when i should be advancing to the 'unscramble the letter" page, a page comes up with the heading "Internet Explorer cannot display webpage"

I've spent 2 hours w/ aol support, deleting cookies, defragging, doing the winsock thing...NOTHING! i can't get to the ordering ticket page on either aol or Int. expl; in fact, i can't access TM at ALL on int. expl.--i get the same "int. explorer cannot display..." message.

I had a similar problem a while back, and have an option next the the winsock option that is "XP2K Fix"...should i use that?

any help greatly appreciated!!

First of all, AOL is Internet Explorer, its just a fancy shell for it.

Second how fragmented your hard drive is will never have anything to do with a page not loading.

It sounds like the page might be dead, but try Firefox and/or Opera and let us know how it works.

can i have BOTH foxfire AND int. explorer? i got so far as installing foxfire, then a window came up asking if i wanted it to be my only browser...i clicked out of it

a friend said that if Ticketmaster is accessed too many times in a day on an IP address, it blocks access from that email address. is that possible?

read it again, Firefox probably asked if you wanted it to be your 'Default' browser. You can have as many web browsers as you want installed on your pc.

Some sites do temporarily block access after several invalid login attempts, not sure if Ticketmaster does that though.
