error pages with vista come up with several links on troubleshooting, butif like me you're used to the worthless 404 pages, you gave up, closed the page and moved on.
With vista those 404's also have some trouble shooting tips, and 2 links on them. Since I've used those links, on those links I really want to see, and I'm pretty sure it's not just multitasked to the max. I hit those links, and it almost always finds something.
1 today said the page and my router ????? had an incompatibility and asked if I wanted to fix it. I have never figured out that reasoning. YesI want it fixed, or I wouldn't be here.
It did a few seconds of progress bar, and refreshed a good page vs a 404.
You say parts of the page. Your HOSTS file may be blocking these things ?I use a special hosts that also does this. It came with a block on missingchildren.com. I spent months trying to figure out why my missing children banner no longer worked even at the main web site.
I see missing bit's and pieces of pages [404] to crap ads all the time. That means my HOSTS is doing it's job.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc]hosts
check your hosts file for those 404's.
It may be perfectly normal.
