When I try to open GMail, I get the error ‘The page cannot be displayed’. The URL in the browser changes from http://www.gmail.com to http:///?%20www.gmail.com. I am using IE 6 on Windows XP.

This seems to be a issue of some malware/ virus.

1. Take a look in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts. (You can open the file in Notepad).
2. If there is any line referring to any site, then delete it. By default, the file has one line which looks like ‘127.0.0.1 Localhost’.
3. You should also update your anti-virus software. If you don’t have one, I will recommend using AVG Free.
4. I will also recommend installing Microsoft Defender and Spybot S&D.
