I have a dell laptop running windows media edition 2005 service pack 2.
Some time gao I noticed that advertisements on web pages that I visit are no longer loading. The page itself loads but not the advertisements, they simply show the "page cannot be displayed" term. I wouldn't mind this so much but when I try to hick the back button on my browser (IE6) it tries to reload the advertisement part of the page thus resulting in multiple presses of the back button. Any help would be great!

Yes, windows popup blobker wont block internet popups. You will need an internet popup blocker. mozilla Firefox a greatone built in. One more this is just a specific site or all site?

it seems to be any site with advertisement(s) that are part of the page. This what shows where the add should be:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
Select Automatically detect settings, and then click OK.
Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed.
