I too have PeoplePC and it does that. Two things that may help are to refresh the page a couple of times or to disable your People pal Toolbar. Go to View -- Toolbars -- then uncheck the Peoplepal toolbar. Their pop up blocker will be disabled then but since then I don't have the PeoplePC intrusion anymore.

Is that another Internet Explorer bug? Opera and Firefox handle this situation very well, and I have rarely, if ever, seen the symptoms described in the article above. What I want to know is if it is fixed in Internet Explorer 7. I have never seen this problem on my computer, and I have the BETA of Internet Explorer 7, but then I don't know if I have ever seen it happen with Internet Explorer 6 either.
Either way, it sounds very unlikely that Internet Explorer would prevent you from seeing a whole page when only a small portion is unavailable.

I have definitely seen it, but now that you mention it ... not since I've switched to FireFox :-). Yes, I'd certainly call it a bug in the browser.

I recently subscribed to peoplepc. My modem connects but the page will not display. I have pinged with the modem to make sure it is working. I have uninstalled internet explorer and reinstalled updated version. I have installed foxfire...still - page will not display although it is connected. Peoplepc says it is a hardware problem not their software, but the hardware is working. The modem does connect, I just can't get anything to display...please help!

I too had the problem with PeoplePC software hijacking my web browser and inserting " http://peoplepc-help.com/?d=error_peoplepc&q= " in front of whatever website I was trying to get into. After spending over an hour trying to get into Craigslist, I found a great solution. I canceled the service, disabled every .exe file in their software, and went back to using Juno.

I have run into the problem on several Dell laptops. On those systems there was a small bundled program called Address Error Redirector or something like that that caused the problem. After removing this program Internet Explorer would remain on the desired page and the problem ad page would only show an error in its own frame. Although I do not like IE, this appears to be more of a crap bundled app.
