Help,I keep getting" The page cannot be found".

[Virgo]

Ok. I have a year old Dell with Windows ME and use PeoplePC Dialup ISP. Something tried to download onto my computer a few days ago and since then I am having problems at the websites I visit everyday.I keep getting The page cannot be found error. I know its not the websites because everyone else I know that goes to them are having no problems.I know its not our ISP because I do not have this problem on the other computer. I have tried reformatting and reinstalling Windows ME and still have the same problem.I have used the Ultimate bootdisk for WinME and installed a previous registry but still have the same problem.I have done a thorough surface scan on my computer which came up with no errors.I went to Housecall and they found no viruses.I downloaded AVG Antivirus and they too found no viruses.I don't know what to do.Can anybody please help me here?

When I click on the properties of the "page cannot be found" the url shows :
res://C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL/http_404.htm#http://www.freeride.com/fr/owa/mb.show_mesgs?tid=3464670

I fixed it. I used my WinME ultimate bootdisk and restored my computers DOS to its factory default and it worked .
