What can be done to avoid getting a time out error message when running Internet Explorer?

0

According to Microsoft, “Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01, and Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 have default timeout settings of five minutes”. Therefore, any query that exceeds the default 5 minute wait time will cause this error. Please follow the instructions below to remedy this problem by increasing the time IE will wait to 20 minutes instead of the default 5 minutes. • Install Internet Explorer version 4.01 Service Pack 1 or later. To obtain Internet Explorer, please visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie • Click on this file. Select “Open this file from its current location” and click OK button when prompted. This file will change the default wait time from 5 to 20 minutes. If you wish to change the wait time manually to any value, follow the instructions below. • Add the ReceiveTimeout DWORD value with a data value of *1000 in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVers
