I have connection to the internet as confirmed by my isp company, however i can not view any home pages for viewing, Is there a virus out there that has caused this problem? or is it a setting problem or is there a file or something missing to get me to a viewing stage once again?
View 8 RepliesThis problem has presisted for about a week now, my IE7 will not allow me to view web pages, however, if I were to type www.msn.com in the address bar, I am rerouted to google and I'm given search results for msn.com. When I click on the msn.com result I get the "IE cannot display web page error". I've done several system restores, I've deleted the security update 94453 like some recommended, I've turned off my firewall, done spyware checks, virus scans, and have come to find out nothing wrong with it. My laptop is able to surf the net just fine so it has something to do with my computer, but I am not sure what. Was wondering if anyone has had this happen, and if anyone could help. THanks in advance!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running an XP system on a residential cable connection. Yesterday afternoon, after my ISP went AWOL for about an hour, I noticed that it was taking me 20+ seconds to view some pages while surfing. after leaving it for a day (to eliminate the possibility of peak-hours being the culprit), things haven't changed. I've run AdAware, Spybot, and SpySweeper, and they all came up relatively clean (nothing I could see that would cause a problem like that).

Ever since I did a factory reinstall 3 months ago, every time I close my machine down and restart, my Windows Explorer settings keep getting reverted back to ICON view instead of my saved DETAIL view.I'm using the button under tools and folder options, View Tab, and Apply to all Folders.Is there something else I'm missing?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI run all of my anti-spyware/malware programs, disc defrag, chkdsk every week. I then create a restore point.Today, for the first time ever, I needed to restore my computer to a previous date because my XP view changed to Classic view and the option to change it back to XP view wasn't available. But the restore points that I saved were not available. I was given a choice of July 1,2,3,4 and 5. The last time I created a restore point was last Monday, June 27th,but when I clicked on the << arrow to go back to the month of June, it wouldn't go back.What happened to the restore points that I created and why couldn't I access them?I know that they were saved because I received a message that they were created.And I have no idea why my XP view changed to Classic View when I turned my computer on yesterday.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSince I installed SP2 everything seems OK except I now notice that some web pages will load only part way then stop loading. If I use Firefox and go the same page it loads immediately. Is there some security setting I should aware of that prevents some pages from loading? The last page I had a problem with was one associated with Paint Shop Pro - hardly a suspicious website. I like Firefox, but unfortunately my password manager (Norton) doesn't work with it.

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed. My computer is a compaq presario. I have windows xp service pack one I use a cable connection. I have a friend that has the same cable connection and is in the same online class and she has never had this happen to her. I was wondering if anyone knows why I keep getting this message and if there is a way to keep it from doing this. It just started doing this about a month ago.
I cannot open any microsoft owned pages, such as www.msn.dk, www.msn.com,
www.microsoft.com, www.windowsupdate.com, www.windows.com or any other - on
my other pc.I've had this problem for a few weeks and it persists even in firefox.
I just formatted my c: and reinstalled winxp, and still the problem persists.
I have a friend who lives in another part of the country so I cannot actually get to her computer. Over the past two weeks we have sent e-mails back and forth trying to find a solution to the problems she is having.
When she first starts up her computer and connects to the Internet (she is using WinXP Pro and a USB modem connected to braodband) she can surf webpages OK and get to her Yahoo webmail account.However, after about 5 to 10 mintues, if she tried to get to a webpage again, including Yahoo, she gets a "page cannot be displayed" message and it is impossible for her to load any webpages at all.The Internet connection is still connected, she can send and receive e-mails using OUtlook Express, but she cannot get web pages to load anymore.We have cleared the caches, done antivral and spyware scans using several different programs (her system is clean) and have tried using both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Both browsers "freeze" after a time and she gets the error messages saying pages cannot be displayed.Sometimes when she reboots her PC and connects to the Internet she can get web pages to load again but after a time surfing "freezes up" and webpages no longer load. BUT, as I said, the Internet connection is obviously fine because it does not affect the sending or receiving of e-mails using Outlook Express.
I have completely lost my Address Bar off my web pages and don't know how to get it back. Has this ever happened to anyone before?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI do computer work for a library system. One library that I dread going to because these dell machines have been a headache for me. The problem started last year when the machines would just restart on there own when surfing the web. Tried to upgrade the machines from Win98 to XP problem still there. I then did a fresh install of the machine ran all the updates (before SP2 came out) and did everything I could think of. The machines were working with no problems. UNTIL one of them last week crashed, bad HDD. So I put a new Western Digital 40GB HDD in and did a clean install ran all the updates and installed Office XP with no problems. The machine was on for 6 hours running fine. Then I went to a website called www.safesurf.com and it just shutdown. With in a half of an second it shut completely down. Now the weird thing is that it doesn't run a scan for errors when the machine starts backup. Its like the computer has mental problems. I downloaded the new Java client and thought that would do the trick. I can get to the website from any other of my computers here in the office. Any ideals??? Nothing shows up in the error logs and I guess I don't know where to start. It can't be a power supply problem can it the machine is running fine until I go to that site.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy daughter recently saved an interactive desktop of Harry Potter to our pc, we think. Suddenly after saving, the pc automatically changed web fonts, colors, placement of text boxes and some settings. We uninstalled but found the colors and backgrounds of all web pages to be white. Myspace pages allows everything, but no background pics or colors. We installed internet explorer 7 and that fixed the font sizes but not the colors. ANyone know any tricks to try before we backup and reintall windows?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere seem to be 2 places in IE to change font size, Tools | Internet Options; Fonts to select the web & plain text fonts and Accessibility to select or ignore font styles & sizes. I simply cannot find the right combination to be able to have consistent
fonts on all pages. If I check "ignore font size" then the pages use my font but the font seems to vary from web page to web page. I have to click the "size" button on the toolbar. With this unchecked some web pages have really BIG fonts and some have such small fonts that I cannot read them and have to select the "ignore font size" again.
