Windows is updated, nothings running in background, internet settings default, HELP ME!!! oh and other people on my network behind same router can use those sites fine... so it's my puter....

Do you get an error message pop up? If so, what is it? Or does it just not allow you to access the site?

For mozilla it says that error I posted above in a pop up. Like it knows the site is there but I'm not allowed to view it. (I have nothing restricted though...) For Internet Explorer it just does the normal page cant be displayed page. Also I'm on windows XP.

Did you try to do a 'System Restore' to a previous day when you know it last worked? It might help.

I recently had a problem where my task manager would only show CPU usage and absolutely nothing else. I couldn't figure out what happened, so I did a system restore and it fixed it. Fortunately, I hadn't done anything to my system that I was worried about losing.

If you haven't already tried that, that is probably what I would do.

Please dont close this :D Sorry I can't help you with your problem. I just wanted to say that this forum can be used to discuss any topics that interest the community as long as they don't break the forum rules. Spam/pointless topics are ones that do not offer the possibility for people to have a meaningful discussion. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Hm thats odd. I never heard of this one before. Run a virus and anti adwere scan, just in case. I will have a poke around see what I can find.

Do a check for spyware. Use "ad-aware" and "spybot search & destroy". Both are available for free, I don't have the url's to their sites, but download.com should have them both.

Have you restricted any java etc in your IE options ?

Odd. If you could post a traceroute to the site it should show up any problems between you and the websites.

(NB. To perform a Traceroute, click Start, then Run, and type COMMAND (Win9x) or CMD (Win2k/XP) into the box, then click OK. At the DOS prompt, type TRACERT <website>, IE Tracert www.google.com. When it's done, copy and paste the results into a reply).

Shock.

Edit: Ad-Aware is available from here (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/)

If you do post the results, hide the first IP address, unless you like people scanning your machine.

Id suggest the VERY first thing u do....

In IE>

Tools>Internet Options>

-Clear cookies
-Clear temp net files (all offline content also)

>Security

-Internet - Medium

>Privacy

-Low

>Advanced

-Restore defaults.


It may have no effect, but its always a good start

Often the prob u r having is caused from the slightest thing. But then again i didnt read ur post thoroughly ;)
