Your browser displays "The document contains no data" error message? This article contains possible solutions to this problem.

  • Make sure your firewall or antivirus software aren't blocking Firefox from accessing the web.
  • This may be because of your proxy server, try disabling it if you can.
  • This could be due to a problem with the cache. Clear your cache:
    • Firefox: "Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache".
    • Mozilla Suite: "Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Cache".
  • Software known to cause problems:
    • Peer Guardian, try switching it off or use an alternative product.
    • Older versions of Panda Antivirus may be causing this. This is how to fix it.
  • If you are still experiencing problems, check that you can access the website in other browsers. If you can't, it's probably a server problem.

If this happens occasionally and you just want to get rid of annoying popup, turn on error pages (details in the link below).
