Tip & How-To about Microsoft Windows XP Professional With Servise Pack 2 (e8503040) for PC

Error 404

Hi.

404 error page not found means that the computer is connected to the Internet, but that it cannot find the page linked to the domain name (that www.something.com, aka URL), or linked to the IP address typed into the browser (eg. Internet Explorer) address bar.

The error is usually displayed because of either one of the following reasons:

1) The web page does not exist or the website does not work. In this case the web page requested will return error 404 from any computer. Test using at list two different computers and two different network connections.

  1. This usually translates in one of the following:
  2. You wrote the URL in the wrong way.
  3. The web page requested does not exist.
  4. The web server hosting the website is down.
  5. The domain name is not linked to the website anymore (setting problems or subscription expired)

2) Your computer's DNS or network settings are wrong.In this case the web page requested will return error 404 from this computer. The same page will be displayed using a different computer or network. One example of this situation is when some malaware disables access to Websites like Microsoft by changing DNS service. If this is the case the same page will be displayed using other computers, but you will get error 404 with this particular computer.

If this is the case, ensure that you have installed an efficient and updated antivirus. Run a virus scan.
If that is not enough to fix the problem, try the following reset:

1- Click Start >> Run >> regsvr32 /i browseui.dll>> enter

A dialog box with a confirmation message will be displayed. Click OK.

2- Click Start >> Run >> regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Wait for the dialog box, then click OK.

Regards.

Ginko.

404 not found

The 404 or Not Found error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server could not find what was requested.

The web site hosting server will typically generate "404 - Not Found" web page, when users attempts to follow a broken or dead link, hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors users can find on the web.

A 404 error should not be confused with "server not found" or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server could not be made at all. A 404 error indicates that the requested resource may be available again in the future; however, the fact does not guarantee the same content.

This is a response from the Youtube server, saying it cannot find what was asked for. Many Youtube clips disappear unexpectedly, because of copyright infringements or other problems.

can't open youtube website , even links to other website such as google video.Error 404

Hi,

Error 404 means:
1. You had a valid link.
2. You reached the server.
3. The server is unable to find the page you are looking for.

So you really need to check the link. It may be old, expired or relocated.

On site like you tube, google etc. you may want to default to the main page and try searching for some relevant terms to get the resource.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
