Topic awaiting preservation: IE - "Operation Aborted"

Im trying to access my newly created MSN Webspace. It was working fine until suddenly, now, I can't as I get that bloody annoying message saying how it cannot open the site and operation is aborted. I've tried cleaning out the cookies, temp files and all that. What is the solution here? (and no, I'm not getting Mozilla or Firefox before someone suggests it!)

"You know you have been doing 3d too long when you walk into a church and think, "God, the polycount of this place must be huge!"

...Opera?



but serioüsly - if you don't think it's an error on msn's side, the best thing to do would be trying to get to the page from another computer or, lacking that, another browser. having somethig like FF on your hard disk can never hurt, and you don't have to use it for anything but this one check.

...Lynx ? Netscape ?

have your tried to ping the URL ? or another computer/browser like kuckus suggested ?

Msn webspace... ???

oooooooo boy, what are they up to now

jup. without the url, we can't check for you wether it's the webspace or your computer - sorry.

to summarize:
MSN webspace is stupid
MSN messenger is stupid
Internet Explorer is stupid
Microsoft is stupid
asking for help on how to use anything related to Microsoft is stupid

No need to be delicate about it, reisio. Tell us what you really think.

Whether you consider it stupid or not to ask, I don't care. I decided to give it a burl here and see if there's any valid solutions. Thanks though to some of you suggesting alternative ways to check what the problem is. Seems now that the site is ok. Perhaps restarting my computer has solved the problem strangely enough.

If I ever get a chance to meet Murphy in person, I promise to make him spend the worst quarter of his whole life!
