    Up until a while ago I could go onto Sky News and view the site fine. Now when I go in the index strip that used to be on the right (and still is on my work PC) is straight down the middle covering everything. I've attached a screen capture to demonstrate. I have the problem with one or two other sites that I used to be able to view ok.

    I haven't made any changes on my PC (that I know of). Can anyone suggest what settings I need to change.

    Many thanks

    Deirdre

    Thats an odd problem indeed. I tried Sky News in Firefox and Internet Explorer and it worked fine. What version of IE are you running? You could try clearing the cache, in IE go to Tools->Internet Options and then Delete Files.

    By any chance are you using the ad blocking feature in Norton Internet Security ?

    Sky may have changed some feature or element on the site, but your browser may be clinging onto an older, odder version.

    I would try pressing CTRL + F5 to force a refresh of the page - and see if that has any impact.

    You could try this before deleting your entire cache ... good luck

    RUU - Tried that but it didn't work

    8T8 - Check that and I was - I turned it off but no change. I'm thinking my problem maybe Nortons - I had to disable my firewall ages ago because it wouldn't let me send or receive mail. Again it was working fine one day and the next day it wouldn't. Although I turned most of it off and still no change.

    Trout - Tried that - again nothing.

    Thanks for your help, I'll keep at it!!

    :eek:

    check your firewall asap ... if you've no firewall, sky news is the least of your problems ... you might want to do an AV/Spyware /Adware scan before you do anything else.

    your mail client should be able to go through the firewall on a particular port, usually port 25. you shouldn't need to disable any firewall for any one app

    if you are happy with your firewall, and AV/Spyware/Adware ... try a new browser ... like Mozilla ... ;)

    check your firewall & good luck
