Internet explorer cannot find website - Computers & Internet

Can you please describe the problem you're having in more detail? If you're needing to repair your Internet Explorer, please see the steps here: How to repair or reinstall Internet Explorer in Windows

My guess is that the website your are trying to visit is very outdated. In the past some websites built their sites to only work on certain web browsers. Since the message says IE5, the site is probably only compatible with IE5 and maybe IE7.

You may try contacting the website owner as it will be tough to find those older versions of the browser. If you can provide more details about the website, I'd be happy to help further troubleshoot.

Hope that helps!

Internet Explore Cannot Display the Webpage
As you browse the Web with Internet Explorer, you may occasionally encounter an error message about the browser being unable to display the requested Web page.
If your browser is unable to display a page, the issue lies somewhere along the path from your computer to the remote website. In some cases, you can resolve the issue by troubleshooting your computer or Internet connection. Internet Connection Issue
If Internet Explorer is unable to display any pages at all, see if you are able to browse the Web on another computer.
If none of the computers in your home can browse, the problem is related to your Internet connection.
In some cases, you can resolve an Internet connection issue by unplugging the power connections for your broadband modem and router temporarily.
If you are still unable to browse, contact your Internet service provider for further assistance.

Malicious Software
If you are unable to browse the Web on your computer but can browse on other computers, the computer itself has an issue. In some cases, this can mean that your computer is infected with malicious software.
Download an anti-virus program on another computer and run it on the affected computer to troubleshoot the issue.


User Error If you receive an error in Internet Explorer when you attempt to browse to a single website, but other websites work, check to make sure that you are entering the address of the website correctly.
By default, Internet Explorer searches the Web for a close result if the address you entered is not associated with an actual website. If you have disabled this feature and enter a website address incorrectly, Internet Explorer displays an error message.

Remote Website Issue

If you are unable to browse to a single website and are certain that you have entered the website address correctly, it is likely that the website itself has a problem.
You can wait and attempt to view the website again later, or search for the website on Google or another search engine and click the "Cached" link to view a recent cached copy of the website.

Hi there !

Facebook upgrade their websites. It recommend Internet Explorer 8 when browsing in facebook websites. Just download this internet explorer and there would be not conflict with the other internet explorer you are using. Do not install download the toolbars.

There are a couple of things you can try to fix this. I think you must likely will just need to run IE8 with 'compatibility view' enabled (see below).
