    Question [Vista] Internet Explorer cant open the site, but it does...

    Hi.
    Im runing Vista 32-bit.
    When I open Internet Explorer and my homepage loads automatically, which is google.com
    I see the page loaded fine, but then a message pops up and says that
    "Internet explorer can't open the site: ww.google.com. Action Aborted".
    After I click Ok the page loads the page that says that Internet Cant open the Page.
    But then I type google.com in the adress field again and load it normally.

    Sometimes this doesnt happen, and everything works fine.

    If that was just a typo, and you do have it set for the correct address, then it sounds like you may have a slow DNS server. Try using OpenDNS, I've found them to be excellent:

    www.opendns.com

    There's no typo.
    And slow dns?
    The internet works flawlessly.
    It loads anypage in less than a second.
    But why does it show that error message?
    I didnt say i cant load the page at all...
