Why do I keep getting the error: internet explorer cannot display web page?

I have windows vista on my laptop, I keep getting that message on certain web sites, not all the time but alot. And I am still connected when this happens, I can get on other sites no problem, When I click for more info I go to the network page and I repair the network adapter and then the page will load right away after it is repaired.

Does anyone know why I have to do this all the time?

It only repairs for a short time and then I have the problem again.

Update:

Thanks I already uninstalled my virus program I thought that might have been the problem. I also disabled the firewall and nothing.

Update 2:

Thank you I will try firefox, I did try netscape but had the same problem.

Update 3:

I downloaded firefox, and still have the same problem. I have to reset the network adapter to view certain sites. Usually its when I do a search and try to click on a link. I have tried typing in the site manually and nothing unless I reset

    Just for grins, try using another browser with Vista..If you can wait and, it will be worth the wait~Try Firefox Version 3 when it's finally released out of beta..(around June...) It will put IE7 to shame..You can check out the beta version but..I'd still wait to download it..I think you're problems are related to settings..

    Good Luck to you~!

    It only means that internet explorer is not functioning well in your set up. You can actually change it to another browser. There are lots there. You can try Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari. Just select the best for you.

    It's a problem with IE. After 8 versions they still haven't gotten all the bugs out. Get Firefox.
