internet explorer cannot open this webpage?

OS is win xp home sp 2 i.e. 7

when i open a page i've saved as HTML in My Documents, the page opens for a second or less then is replaced by a page with this notice: internet explorer cannot open this webpage and a lot of information that does me no good! oddly, i was able to print the page from windows explorer.

also, Front Page will open the saved email page but won't print it out right. M.S. Word can't open the saved page - not sure about Word Perfect.

thanks for feed back on this........

    The webpage probably uses a combination of AJAX and Javascript. Once you load the page, the source code runs the AJAX and Javascript to update the page content but it can't find it because you are offline. Set your browser to "work offline" and reload the page.
