    When using Internet Explorer, you may find that it often displays a certain error on a white background when something goes wrong. For instance, if a page is loading, and you press ESC, you IE may display an "Action Canceled" message on a white page. There are several error pages like this, and in some cases you can customize IE to display an error page of your choosing instead. In the following location in the Registry you can find many of the possible errors, and you can change the value to be the location of the custom web page of your choice.

    Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_Machine
    Key: Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs
    Name: varies
    Data Type: REG_SZ
    Value: varies

    For instance, double-click the NavigationCanceled string, and change the value from "res://shdoclc.dll/navcancl.htm" to http://myserver.com/myerror.htm. Please use caution and frequent backups when editing the Registry.

    Not sure if this will help. I found it here: http://windows.about.com/library/tips/bltip568.htm
