I believe you need to enable cookies and lower down the security level for IE. Hope this helps.

I also think you should move away from Hotmail which is nothing more then JunkMail. Lemme know if you need an invitation for Gmail :thumb: .

wut kinda cookies do i enable? and its not the mandatory army thing i went to boot camp...n pensacola and came bak...xP

Do you get any error messages when you try to get to those websites?

 

[ToM_E]

it loads for a long time and just says page cannot be displayed...

I would remcommend to switch to FireFox. A lot better than IE.

 

[bahamut_2006]

I second that. Their is no real reason to use IE anymore, unless your running Windows 98 (since flash wont work right on Firefox on 98) I haven't had a single problem with Firefox on Windows XP though. So go ahead and try Firefox

Whaddaya mean? I just installed a machine on 98 with Firefox and Flash. Worked fine on weebls-stuff and newgrounds.

Can you visit other websites like yahoo.com?

 

[ToM_E]

i can visit all the sites. the thing is on hotmail and xanga i can log in but it wont load after i press login...and i have already tried firefox....which doesnt work...

 

[RZetlin]

Which operating system are you using?

Here's a simple test:

Go to Start->Run, type "command"

At the command prompt type "ping www.hotmail.com"

If you can ping it, that means your browser is messed up.

In IE reset all your browser settings like privacy, advance and cookies.

I dont know. Flash sites simply dont work for some reason (the two i mainly goto is shockwave and homestarrunner) . This is on school comps, but the newer ones with Windows XP run Firefox fine. But I guess that doesnt matter, since Firefox doesnt fix his problem either.

Im operating on windows xp. sp2

i also have that problem is simply reformatted my Hard disk

 

[ToM_E]

i have reformated my pc twice already and am still having the same problem..

Since you have 4 comp. you obviously have a router, have you tried connecting directly w/o the router?

I had the exact same problem. I couldn't log onto MSN but also no Yahoo and a few other secure sites. IT ended up being some kind of problem with ActiveX. I even tried downloading one of those hotfixes from MS but it said incorrect version or something like that. I also couldn't use Media Player. Using Firefox or MyIe2 didn't solve the problem. What made it more weird is that I couldn't use those sites on one of the profiles I had set up. But using the main profile it would.

Have you tried creating a profile based on Admin settings? Have you used HiJackThis to edit anthing?

 

[Gualbert]

try Microsoft Antispyware available at downloads.microsoft.com

Have you tried my suggestion with ping?
