Problems accessing several msn.com sites, including tv.msn.com



On two of my machines, I consistently receive the "Server Error in '/'
Application" Runtime Error message on several MSN.COM sites. These
include:

http://tv.msn.com
http://movies.msn.com
http://music.msn.com
(all entertainment related, but I can't figure this out...)

Other MSN.COM sites work fine, but not the 3 above.

I am able to get to the problem websites on other machines, so I know
it's not a problem with the server. Both problem machines have XP
SP2, although one has IE7 and one has IE6. The machines are both
fairly different, so I just can't figure out why I'm getting these
errors. The full text of the error is below, but it doesn't seem very
informative.

I tried deleting browser history, deleting offline files, deleting
cookies, but to no avail. I tried adding *.msn.com to allowed sites,
allowing cookies, disabling pop-up blockers, and several incantations
in ancient voodoo.....If you can solve this mystery, you'd be a true
hero.

Here's the full error message:


Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current
custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the
application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons).
It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server
machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be
viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within
a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the
current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its
"mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a
custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the
application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom
error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"
defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
