Ok... here's the deal...
I have Windows xp and have recently installed ServicePack 2. I also have Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp.sp2.rtm. I have been doing much research about my "The page cannot be displayed" problem and I believe the problem is caused by a Registry key that I might have deleted during a adware check (Lavasoft Ad-ware SE Personal). I can no longer open Yahoo profiles among other pages. I often get the "the page canot be displayed" error while trying to open various pages. At first, I thought Yahoo Messenger to be the problem. So I removed it from my computer and reinstalled. Nothing. I then installed Netscape 7.2 but this hasn't solved the problem either. I have done a virus check. Nothing. I have done a HijackThis scan but am afraid to fix all the files and so, I'm sending it to you for your input. If anyone can help me, I'd be much obliged because I think I am close to a nervous breakdown!!!
