This is a different situation than the ones I've read.

I've been using IE7 for a while now with no problems. Changed ISPs two days
ago to a new DSL service.

When I open a NEW browser window, the FIRST page I try to access gives me
the " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. If I reload, it
works OK. Every new tab opened in that window also works with no problem.
This only happens in NEW browser the first time.

My ISP has shoved the problem off to MSFT; they refuse to help.

Yeah, I'm pissed.

I can try to remedies listed in message 926431, but the fact that I can get
the pages to load by reloading implies to me that I really don't have a
connection problem.

Any ideas, anyone? Is there an IE setting I can change to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
See if setting a blank home page (Internet Options> General) makes a
difference.

Next, see if you have a troublesome browser add-on.
See: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp
for troubleshooting information.

Hope this helps,
