Internet Explorer "Error on page"?

My Internet Explorer doesn't load things like Youtube videos (although it loads the rest of the page) and google images. Also, I can't get to the hotmail sign in page. I have Internet Explorer 7 and the latest Flash player and shockwave player.

Oh also, on EVERY page that loads, in the bottom left hand corner, there is a page with an exclamation mark saying error on page.

I really need help.

Update:

It happens on EVERY web page, I have a fully functioning firewall and virus checker and my computer is one of the fastest around

    It may have nothing to do with it but it's worth a try, I kept getting an error message and had real problems and I took off Adobe and reinstalled it as sometimes the flashplayer causes problems.

    Also, we got a thing through the door for a free trial on Windows Adviser and I used it to clean up a lot of things I didn't know existed as well as changing settings which have made it faster and it now closes down quicker.

    If you can get it, go for it, it's great.

    Good luck♥

    It's not easy to diagnose the problem. One quick fix can be installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Free link here: http://bit.ly/1sxRDM6

    Adobe Flash Player is often responsible for issues with videos and trying to install it or update it it's something that you can do quite easily. (It worked for me most of the times)

    It's not very likely but also possible that YouTube won't play the video if your connection speed is below a certain speed. If you know you have slow Internet, try connecting to a different network that is faster. You can find these at wifi-hotspots, like Internet cafes, bookstores, libraries, etc.

    It's very difficult but also possible that the Youtube Server that holds the video you are trying to watch is temporarily under construction. This is a temporary issue, so everything can starting working again without the need of installing new softwares on your pc.

    Check on the Security settings in IE. ( In Tools, Internet Options, Security) You may have them set too high, so stopping some things loading.

    Check on Privacy as well. Many sites need to load a cookie before they can log you in.

    I understand your frustration. I was trying to do my grocery shopping on line @ Tesco earlier in the week & every time I tried to put an item in the shopping basket I got that very same message. Wrote out a shopping list & sent the other half to Tesco in person ......2 hrs 45 mins later!
