  1. sorted Thanks guys I could tell by how quite my thread had gone, that I’d hit the proverbial ‘brick wall’. So I had decided that I had had enough , got together a stack of DVD writeables and my start-up disc that came with the computer. I was going to wipe the computer clean and start again. Then I thought ‘one last try’ (again) it must be something simple, something I’ve overlooked. I read through all your messages again, and the only thing I could think of is that there must be a antivirus program I’ve missed, although as far as I could see, I had deleted them all. Anyway, to cut a long story short, alt-ctrl-Delete, opened up Windows task manager, clicked on ‘services’ , then click on ‘services’ on the bottom right, and what do I find ? , Bullguard , Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and STOPzilla were all still running .:o I stopped them all, and tried one of the .org.uk websites, hey presto, it works . I started the programmes again, one by one, and it turned out that it was ’STOPzilla’ that was causing my problems. Thanks again for all your help, I am now officially, an expert, going to put my lump hammer back into the toolbox now. Now could anybody tell me why Windows media player wont work ? :D
  2. hello Wolfeymole, had BullGuard and AVG antivirus, also had Ad-Aware cheers, kev
  3. Hi Seth Got rid of my antivirus a few days ago, the only thing I have running is Windows firewall, which I've turned off, and Windows defender, which I think I turned off :confused: Still having the same problem :(
  4. YES YES YES with bits in :D Did what you said, everything turned BIG , on my desktop, so I opened a unrelated website, typed in a .org.uk website into the address bar, and it opened ...... But It was very big and nasty...... So what do I do now ? :)
  5. Thanks RandyL, Tried, but still no luck. although it did find over 60 problems, and sorted them ;) Could it be that my computer dosn't recognise .org.uk websites ? thanks, kev ps; havn't done anything with system restore at the moment.
  6. Cheers Goku Downloaded and tried Firefox, but am getting this message... 'Connection Interrupted The document contains no data. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again' Also tried Google Chrome a couple of weeks ago, with the same result. I'm sure something on my computer is stopping me getting these websites.
  7. Hi Wolfeymole, these are the last few I've been trying to get on... http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/ http://www.landlords.org.uk/ http://www.bebirmingham.org.uk/ But It's every .org.uk website that I,m unable to get on, just get this message ... Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage :confused: Getting very frustrating, because the mrs is going into teaching and about half the websites she tries to go on are .org.uk Should I get a new computer or get a new mrs ?
  8. OK, not sure if it’s a Vista problem but here goes , A few months ago I found out that I couldn’t get any .org.uk websites to open. '.org' work ok, but not '.org.uk .' I’ve asked everybody I know but …:confused2: Running Vista home premium, and internet explorer Hope you can help :D
  9. Found this site through google search (computer help) And I suppose like most on here, I have a problem.:confused2: Look forward to hearing from you all kev
