Pesky "Page cannot be displayed" error....

Published 07 September 04 09:17 PM

I was having problems where after I installed XP Service Pack 2 on my Tablet, that I could not click a hyperlink in OE and then sometimes in Outlook 2003. It would bring up the "Page cannot be displayed error".  I looked and looked, then I stumbled onto something while playing with some settings.

I had a thought, I wonder if it is related to having LAN Settings in IE set to Automatically Detect settings...

I went in and unchecked the Automatically Detect settings, and now I can click links in both Outlook 2003 and OE and they actually navigate to the sites.

Thought I would share for all those with the same issue.  This is OE 6 and IE 6.1 and Outlook 2003 on Tablet PC 2005 (XP SP2).
