Naturally, a complete reformat and reinstallation of XP will solve your problem - assuming it's not a hardware glitch. But there's probably an easier way.

First, check out your spyware. Others have posted links for the two good programs - Spybot and Ad-Aware. Use them both - each will catch things that the other won't catch.

If that doesn't solve your problem, there may be some internal issues with Explorer. I'm not sure if the error box you're getting is the one that Explorer pops up when it's got a problem. Frequently, corrupted Explorer files can be fixed by updating your Explorer software, or re-installing it. Updating can be done via the Windows Update option in your start menu, while a complete re-install, I believe, can be done through a full download of the latest Explorer edition from the Microsoft website.

You sound like an expert at computing so here I go. No one has been able to help with this so I decided to look here for help.

Certain pages on the internet will not download. I have Verizon DSL and Internet Explorer running windows XP. Up until a few months ago I never noticed this problem but in the last few months there are certain pages that just do not download. I click refresh maybe 10-20 times and finally the page will download. Some links do not open either like help documents etc. Any advice-resources?
