What can I do when this message is often displayed when I try to click on a link.... using IE.

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.

This message is often seen on our old computer when surfing the WEB.... it only has IE (verizon DSL) - and runs off Windows 98se

Thanks....

Ok while searching online I found some FREE browsers and downloaded AVANT BROWSER - it seems to be working good and it can open all the pages that my IE would not.

I just use my back arrow and or icon and reclick and it goes right through for me. Sometimes it does that because there are too many people trying to access that same link with that same browser.

Yes, get that often with IE. Not sure why that is though, but sometimes the page simply needs refreshing.

Also, in my experience, Mozilla does not seem to give any of these dreaded warnings.

Is the Mozilla FREE? - and PROS & CONS of it........... IE starting to SUCK!!

Yes, it is free indeed.

Please, have a look at: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

I used to use IE and was sceptical with Mozilla (despite people recommending it to me), but have to admit I was sold to the cause. Makes browsing more 'enjoyable' if it makes sense - i.e. less crashes, less 'page not found' messages etc, and the tabs make surfing muchly better! + It is also better for security reasons. I rarely, if ever, use IE now tbh.

I do experience the original problem you mentioned Rhapsody. Even so, I have tried Mozilla, Opera and Netscape and just wasn't able to get used to them. I kept going back to IE. Fortunately, I haven't had too many hassles lately.

I like Netscape best. I forget why, but Firefox wasn't quite what I wanted, although it's a great browser, overall. IE is good, but doesn't organize my bookmarks like I like them, without me having to go in manually to do it. If I transfer all my bookmarks from NS to IE, they come out in alphabetical order, and that isn't what I want for every category. Then again, NS's bookmarks manager has its drawbacks, too.
