The Brow Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Do you use vista? Ive heard numerous people complain once they install all the updates for it then they have problems with IE and Mozilla displaying pages. Keeps saying 'cannot display webpage' or loading slowly/wrongly. They are definitely connected and can ping websites as normal but the browsers are gubbed. One solution would be to do a system restore to when it worked fine, then turn off auto updates. Although that means you may be vulnerable but if your firewall/anti virus is up to date you should be fine. Theres KB articles about it on microsofts website but they are pretty gash.

Try reinstalling firefox, might save you doing a system restore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1874M Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Has any one any idea how this could be fixed with out a reinstall of IE or Firefox, or at least what could be causing the lap top to time out on a few sites.. JKB works as does google but bbc and pirate bay dont... I've run virus checkers and nothing come up. I would reinstall Firefox I cant get on to firefox site from home.
