Did you think we could guess what version of Internet Explorer you have and what version of Windows you have? When asking about an error message you need to provide the complete text of the message, say which program is displaying the message and describe exactly the conditions under which you see the message. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Michael wrote: > Am everytime I open a new page, a message comes up stating that "operation > aborted". with a verious hexi-decimal numbers, well I think theyre > hexi-decimal.

Assuming IE7 on WinXP or Vista: I know of three causes for the vast majority of such problems: 1. You might have incompatible add-ons: Go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools and click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). 2. Tools | Internet Options | Advanced Scroll to the bottom and click Reset Internet Explorer Settings. Read this article first: How to use Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 Note that the Reset IE Settings button will delete AutoComplete data (such as passwords.) Do you have those backed up? 3.

For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author.
