IE Problems....

Hi everyone,

I have a brand new computer, with Vista Premium, and I seem to be having problems with Internet Explorer and certain websites. I am not sure if it’s a Vista issue, a browser issue, a security issue, I just have no idea!

The problem is this... IE opens fine, and loads my homepage (Google) fine. But, when I select a different site from my favourites list or type in a web address, I often get “Internet Explorer cannot display the page” and I get disconnected from Windows Live Messenger! It doesn’t happen every time and it doesn’t always happen with the same websites. It’s just really random. My internet connection isn’t being lost, because I remain logged into AIM. It’s just IE and Messenger that seem to lose the connection.
I’ve downloaded updates, run virus and spyware scans, but I don’t know what to do next. It’s really annoying!

Anyone got any ideas?
