"HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden (Execute Access Denied - This Virtual Directory does not allow objects to be executed)" error message when you try to use Internet Explorer in Windows 95

When you attempt to load a Web page using Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error message:

This error message can occur if you are using a language that is incompatible with the Universal language code used by most major Internet sites.

To work around this problem, remove the first language from your list of preferred languages. To do so, follow these steps in Internet Explorer:

1. On the View menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, click Languages.
3. In the list of preferred languages, click the first language, and then click Remove.
   
   NOTE: This does not remove the language's character set.
4. Click OK, and then click OK again.

The next time you load the Web page, it is displayed using the next language in the list.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Some Web servers are capable of displaying Web pages in one of several different languages. You can add and prioritize languages in Internet Explorer so that Web pages you load are always displayed using your preferred language. For example, a Web server can display a Web page using either the English or the Ukrainian language. If you specify that the Ukrainian language has a higher priority than the English language, Internet Explorer sends your preference to the Web server and the Web page is automatically displayed using the Ukrainian language.

For information about how to configure Internet Explorer to display Web pages using a different language, click Contents And Index on the Help menu in Internet Explorer, click the Index tab, type viewing web, and then double-click the "In a Different Language" topic.
