SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 4.0 to browse web pages that use transfer-chunk encoding, such as Active Server Pages (ASP), a pop-up may occur that contains the following error message:

IE cannot open site http://<address>.
Could not complete the operation due to error 800c0008.

WORKAROUND
This problem is related to HTTP 1.1 transfer-chunk encoding. While there is currently no client-side fix for this, Web servers can be configured to disable transfer-chunk encoding, although doing so is not recommended.

To disable transfer-chunk encoding in Internet Information Server (IIS), which runs on Windows NT only, modify the ASP EnableChunkedEncoding registry parameter as follows.

NOTE: This will have a small negative performance impact on all ASP access to the computer.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

Start Registry Editor, and create the following ASP registry value in:

HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/W3SVC/ASP/Parameters
Value Name: EnableChunkedEncoding
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0
Setting the EnableChunkedEncoding value to 0 will disable transfer-chunk encoding.

What version of IE are you using?

 

Okay now I got to go drink some beer!

 

Or...
I just right button click on each topic, then open it in a new window. No waiting for the entire reload after hitting the back each time...

------------------
My credentials? Yeah, they're right over there....

framed and hanging on the shade tree.

 

onbelay's suggestion is a good one, i do this often.
i personally would go to tools, options, delete temporary internet files. then choose settings, view files, edit, select all, delete.
what version of windows and ie are you running?

 

when I hit the back button. Only half a page comes up and the message window say's: "Could not complete the operation due to error 800c0008" I have to go to Favorites to reload the message board. Did defrag, clean disc and scan disc and that did'nt help. Anybody know what to do? TIA, Dennis

Right Clicking: Point your mouse onto the topic line. Instead of clicking with the left button of your mouse, click with the right button. This will create a "drop down box", and one of your options will be to open the new link in navigator, netscape, etc. Open the link in a new window this way.

 

you might also want to open up windows explorer, then click on windows, scrol down to temperary internet files, then hit select all, then right click on anywhere highlighted, and hit delite. you can also delite the temp folders the same way. they are just above temp internet files.

Open this to read the new replies and when through it did it again.! Damn! Figured out that "right click" trick, I like it!
I always delete files, that's how I cover my tracks. Don't want the kids clicking on Daddie's dirty files now do we?
Don C, There's another guy here from Gloucester. Maybe we can start a new chapter.
