Unable to Render my ISP's Web Page

[tomhuynh306]

When I try to access my ISP's web page with Avant browser, I get the following error:

ADODB.Command error '800a0d5d'

Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current operation.

/default.asp, line 105

This also happens in Internet Explorer 6.0 on the same computer with Avant Browser installed.  When I run Mozilla to access the web page, I do not get this error.  If I access this page on another computer with IE that has not had Avant Browser installed, the page renders fine.

What happens if you install AB on the other computer (on which the page works under IE)?

Works for me. Maybe your isp was offline for awhile?

Hey, I realize that wasn't a very helpful reply. I went to your ISP's webpage and found the following info in their FAQs:
How secure is Wireless Network?
Network security is provided through the use of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) RF techniques. DSSS is a highly secure, FCC approved communication technique for the ISM band. In addition, RADIUS authentication of end user modems at start up and regular challenges prevents unauthorized access of the system. Additional system security is provided through the use of firewalls and application layer encryption where necessary.
So I am guessing, and it is only a guess, that it has something to do with their security checks not being happy with Avant although I can't understand why. Why don't you call your ISP support and see if they can help?

Geez, I have just spent an hour reading about SQL servers and ADODB. There is a lot of info on Google about this error message. I have two suggestions that might work. Shut down your browser and empty the cache and then try connecting again. 2ndly, and this is kind of extreme, but it fits the info on the error message, (The following info was given in regards to user agent problem)

If you want to remove it then open REGEDIT and traverse to the following hive:  
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform  
and delete the String Value: Avant Browser avantbrowser.com]  
you will need to repeat this every time you upgrade/reinstall the browser as it is recreated each time  

 

Thanks to auroras for this info about user agent and how to change it.
