I am using ie 5.0 with AOL. I cannot get to any internet site at all because this pops up in front of every site I try to go to. AOL Technical Support has been unable to help me and I can't even web browse from home on my faster computer. I have installed Office 2000 and am using Windows 95. Can anyone help?

Hi, I just noticed that you posted the same situation I find myself in. But I don't see any replies. Have you been able to solve this problem. I've been trying for month but I can't come up with the solution. I've tried reloading my OS, AOL, and just recently IE5.5. If you or anyone have an answer please let me know. Thanks.

I do NOT have AOL and am running IE 5.0 on Win98, yet I get this error myself. I've been able to trace it to download managers. Specifically, in my case, Getright and Filepool. Download Accelerator does NOT cause the problem, however.
I installed Getright and started getting this problem so I un-installed it and I'm fine. Then I installed Filepool and started getting the problem again. So, I un-installed and now things are fine again.
So, I have no answers, just a more specific problem.
I have Win98SE using IE 5.01 and do not use AOL either and I have this error from time to time. If I run scanreg /restore from DOS and pick a date before the problem happened it always fixes my system. Before I used this fix the only other fix I could find was to format the drive and reinstall win98. I still don't know why this occurs.
The SHDOCLC.DLL file is not the problem. That dll only "tells" your browser to display the "page cannot be displayed" message.
This non-browsing issue is usually due to one of several things. More than likely, its due to a corrupt TCP/IP stack. If you remove it and rename the 5 critical 386 files (vip.386, vtcp.386, vdhcp.386, vnbt.386, and vtdi.386), then reinstall TCP/IP, the problem should be fixed.
If not, the other thing to look at is your winsock files. Make sure you only have 2 copies: winsock.dll in C:\windows and wsock32.dll in C:\windows\system. All other winsocks/wsock32s should be renamed/deleted.
This will fix about 95% of the browsing issues arising.
I'm glad you posted! I had GET RIGHT and was causing me all sorts of problems.... uninstalled it and I'm fine. Thanks for sharing.Quote:
