The feeds section works for about a day before reverting to 'Internet 
Explorer cannot display this feed' . After removing allthe feeds and starting 
over for the 7th  or 8th time I guess it is time to give up. This is not the 
only problem in IE8. Stopped using IE 8 years ago but thought it was worth a 
try with a new computer and Windows 7. BIG BIG mistake. There is obviously no 
answer to the problem as nobody gets a response from MS. Typical.

I, for one, have no clue what you're complaining about. I'm not having any 
problems that even begin to look like what you're complaining about. Given 
the facts as I know them, and as you are reporting, I'd have to guess that 
you'te the problem. But, that's just me, I suppose.

PS
You did not stop using IE 8 "years" ago. It's a new program, months on the 
street, not years. Which makes you a troll.

You may be as dumb as a stick. Click on favorites, there are  3 tabs: 
favorites, feeds and history. When you add a feed to here from the feed 
button to the right of the home page button, it then shows up on the feed 
list. Unfortunately every 24 hours or so, you are unable to access the feeds 
from the feed tab within favorites as you get the message 'INTERNET EXPLORER 
CANNOT DISPLAY THIS FEED'. Is that clear enough. My error in  saying IE '8' 
years ago. A mere typo error - including the 8 - (now you can dis my typing 
skills as well) as I have used either Opera of Firefox to combat the weird 
workings of IE.
I was actually looking for possible answers but you are trolling because you 
possible don't have a life!

Hi,

Right click on the Feed Item in the Favorites Center pane and select 
Properties from the context menu.

Check that THAT feed is correctly formed with a valid refresh period. or 
post back with the Address of the Feed for us to have a look at.

If this is happening for all of your Feed items, then post back as such. (I 
am assuming that this is happening only on one or more of your feeds, 
because they are malformed).

> CANNOT DISPLAY THIS FEED'" indicates that the address is incorrect or you

So my guess (MTL) is that you have either upgraded an XP machine to Win7 and 
have brought along some programs that are incompatible with IE8 or you have 
a clean Win7 install and are trying to transfer programs from your old 
computer to the new.

That’s ok, but before you go any further, ensure that any programs you 
transfer over are the latest available from the Vendor. Particularly the 
Google Toolbar. You can get v6 from Toolbar.google.com. Another common Addon 
that needs upgrading before an IE8 install is Skype. If you have PLuck or 
any other Feed reading software you no longer need them with IE8 or Windows 
Mail.

This is a Public Forum. MSFT moderate the forum but rarely answer questions 
directly.

We are all volunteers and misunderestimated Trolls here.

connect.microsoft.com is their formal issue reporting and tracking portal 
(just like Mozilla and NASA, connect.nasa.com) but you won't find Astro Mike 
or BillG there.

Machine is 4 weeks old. No programs loaded from older units. After the first 
time the feeds would not load and the message appeared, I did go through the 
properties and nothing seemed amiss. Had about a dozen feeds and none would 
load. They also load - I'm guessing by design - into the Windows Live mail 
program and there is no problem accessing the feeds there although it seems 
rather inconvenient. Of course that may be the glitch. Solving the problem 
probably is as simple as starting the feeds up in Google Reader which I used 
on the old machine.
Thanks for the reply. Barry

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?  To start 
IE in No Add-ons mode:

   => Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet 
Explorer (No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your 
subscription current, and is it supported in Win7?  What anti-spyware 
applications (other than Defender)?  What third-party firewall (if any)?

4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this 
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought 
it)?

[applies to IE8 & Win7, too]

Every time I've seen this in the past it's been due to one of the feeds 
having invalid XML (for instance, the feed data has had an & included in 
some text instead of &amp;).

If you could provide a URL for one of the feeds that isn't working it might 
help diagnose what the problem is.
