"Page cannoy be displayed" on Yahoo

[Rearview]

On Yahoo (I don't know about other sites) when I click to go to certian pages, such as games, and I click on a game, I get a "page cannot be displayed" error. This only happens on one Windows 2000 machine (it happens to be MY machine) and I know what the problem is... I just need a solution.

Apparently, my Internet Explorer does not parse the URL correctly. I get the error on this URL, for example:

http://rd.yahoo.com/games/featured/lt/?http://games.yahoo.com/games/login?page=lt

But on other PCs, that URL is translated to go to just

http://games.yahoo.com/games/login?page=lt

Why does my computer not do it? I've updated IE from 6 to 6 SP1 and that did nothing for it. My privacy settings are at medium, like other PCs.

Hello,

Do you have kazaalite on your machine?

Actually, yes I do. (It's good to be that admin...) But I also have it at home and that computer works fine... But go ahead.. Is there some conflict with Kazaa lite?

Yes there is a problem with Kazaa lite. I finally figured this stupid thing out today. I was having the same problem as you, everything going to rd.yahoo.com/whatever wasn't coming up. I simply pinged rd.yahoo.com and it resolved to ....127.0.0.1, which led me to my host file, which depending on the version of kazaa lite you have, it replaces the host file (and it asked you prior to doing this during the install). Go to your host file, and remove all the 127.0.0.1 rd.yahoo.com entries (or simple put a # then a tab over) you see, you will see about 4 or 5, so make sure you get all of them, or it won't work. That should do it for ya. Let me know.....
