Internet Explorer 8 will not display

How do I get Internet Explorer8 to display its webpage? http://uk.msn.com/ When it comes up I get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. and some things to try. Tried to do all that Nothing. (I am older and not techie minded I do know how to switch it on though.) The toolbars at the top of page are visable tho If I type an address or click on anything in my favourites it will open and work normally Any advice please prefereably step by step or laymans terms except go to Firefox or any others. :confused I dont think its IE* its something else had a little bit on help from another but they gave up when everything they said to try came back as ok.
