It could be that the sites you going to are specifically written for IE. Now most of the time this should not be an issue with today's web browsers, but some sites have a Browser Validation script they run and if it recognizes that you are using something other than IE, it will through an error. Try upgrading to the current versions of the browser (i.e. FF3). Don't forget Safari and Opera. They may work for you as well.
You may have encountered the following message while browsing certain websites:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://<website>.com. Operation aborted."
This really has nothing to do with your browser or your computer. You get this error because of faulty web coding from the webmaster's end.
IE displays this error when it is unable to open a particular element on a web page.
There are many things you can do to troubleshoot this kind of problem.
Upgrade Internet Explorer.
This problem does not occur in Internet Explorer 8. Navigate to Microsoft download Center and click on the "Download" button to upgrade to IE8 or IE9 (see Below).

IE 8

IE 9
Click on "Tools" and select "Internet Options." Hit the "Advanced" tab.
Click to remove the check mark next to "Show friendly HTTP error messages" under "Browsing" sub-headings.
Click on "Apply" and hit "OK." Please note this works mostly for Internet Explorer 6, although there is no harm in trying this on older or newer versions.
Add the specific website that is producing "Operation aborted" error under "Restricted Sites."
Click on the "Security" tab under "Internet Options."
Single-click to highlight "Restricted Sites."
Hit on the "Sites" button and click on "Add."
Type the URL of the website and hit "OK."
This works for Internet Explorer 7, but again, you can try this in earlier versions.
Disable or require prompt for "Active Scripting" when you view the specific website.
Click on the "Security" tab.
Click to highlight 'Restricted Sites" zone.
Navigate down to the sub-heading "Scripting."
Click to select "Disabled" under "Active Scripting."
You may also choose "Prompt" if you want IE to issue a prompt when opening the specific web page or website.
You can run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
If you are still worried about the registry or need to fix any problems with it
Hope this helps.
