Internet Explorer cannot open the web page. Operation aborted.

Many people complain of that annoying message received when open some web pages: "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site. Operation aborted."



Even http://mail.google.com/mail may cause it. You can use this link to test if your IE has this bug.


This error message makes a lot of people to change their browsers to FireFox.
This is one of the biggest MicroSoft bugs!


There are two types of solutions: for web designers and for users.

My solution is for User side:
It is very simple:

Just DISABLE SKYPE Add-ons in Internet Explorer.

How to do this:
IE menu Tools --> Manage add-ons --> select Skype add-ons and click on Disable radiobutton!

See the previous post about addons disabling.

IE - "This window is busy..." error message

I have received this message trying to open a web page in new window.



First IE could not open the page in new window when I hold 'Shift' key.

I used right mouse button - open in new window.

This caused all IE pages to freeze.

The last page become blank and when tried to close, I received this message:


"This window is busy. Closing this window may cause some problems"

It was hard to close Internet Explorer pages even with Task Manager /ALT+CTRL+DEL./

I have bad experience with Skype add-ons /see the next post/, so in blank IE window click on Tools menu

Then choose 'Manage add-ons' submenu.

In the dialog window opened,
select Skype add-ons
one by one
and check 'Disable' radiobutton.

Click OK.

Then reload Internet Explorer.

This resolved my problem - pages are opened in new window without error messages.
