538113 2007-04-03 22:04:00 Hi all.

My mate effie c spoke to me on Skype this morning and says he cannot connect to F1. When he tries, he gets a letter "I" inside a blue circle and the words -

"Navigation to the web page was cancelled"

The progress bar at the bottom of the screen apparently is slow. He says he can access all other web pages - no problems.

The above message shows when he tries in IE or Firefox.

Can someone tell me what the problem could be so that I can email him accordingly

TIA
Smithie

538114 2007-04-03 22:11:00 Whats the address that he typed?

If you do http://pressf1.co.nz, it might not work, I tried that this morning and no go.

If you do http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz, it should work.

538117 2007-04-03 22:26:00 Hi Bob _Doe etc, and Speedy Gonzales,
Well done - and thank you
No matter what I typed in /or server I got the failed answer

I thought I had damaged something when I was -and still am, trying to delete a downloaded ( KB925902 which has been downloaded bit NOT installed- a Google showed a humungus number of people in my category of frustration.

Now I suspect I will have to "install" it then use a downloaded patch to correct it- definitely I was unable to delete it no matter what you people advised ( but I did get an update separate to this from Microsoft which has installed) but still left this KB file shield on display

538118 2007-04-03 22:31:00 People, I don't know what the issue is here but it is not with the site itself - pressf1.pcworld.co.nz works fine. Why www.pressf1.co.nz no longer does I don't know, but am trying to find out. Biggles (121)

Might be this - from www.mvps.org


The Action Cancelled message (IE 6) or "Navigation to the webpage was canceled" (IE 7) is generated by Internet Explorer when entries in the users HOSTS file are preventing access from one or more servers designated in the web page. In most cases this occurs from 3rd party ad servers such as "doubleclick", where the "Action Cancelled" or "Navigation canceled" message replaces an ad banner in a hidden frame within the viewing page.

To determine if this is the case, right-click the Cancelled message and select: Properties
Look at the entire "path", (URL) you should see the listed entry

Open up a command prompt and go:

ipconfig /flushdns

then:

ipconfig /renew

Doesn't explain why one URL gets there and another doesn't.

538122 2007-04-03 23:28:00 Yes I'm connecting from the more PressF1 link at the bottom of the PC World home page. Alot of people are not getting on, as you can till by the number of posts there are. Between 10-30pm last night when I last visited and 8-15am this morning there was about 15 posts, normally I see about 30 posts.
