    Hi

    Teck savvy people please help.

    I allowed a friend to use my PC last week and ever since I cannot access most of the sites that I had added to "favourites".

    When I click on sites listed in "favourites" the following message appears:-

    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

    Most likely causes:

    Not Connected You are not connected to the Internet.
    Site Problem The website is encountering problems.
    There might be a typing error in the address.
    What you can try: Etc. Etc. Etc.

    None of these causes are applicible because no matter how I try to access the site (Google search, putting the www. address in the http: address bar etc) the same message appears.
    I know the problem is within my PC because I have my laptop beside me and it can access all my favourites without any difficulty. Please help. It's driving me nuts.

    Fergus

    Apart from your "Favourites", can you browse the web at all, by typing in any address into the browser?

    Hi

    I can surf the web but I can't get get into some of the address listed in my "favourites".

    Take for example one site: Mudcat Cafe which has been listed in "favourites" for years. Since my friend was on my PC I cannot get into this site from my PC no matter what I try. "favourite" won't do it, searching using Google and then clicking on it won't do it. I even used my laptop to email the address as a link to my gmail account, I then opened the email in my PC and clicked on the link but I still get that message. Yet I have no difficulty accessing the same site on my laptop.

    I'm flummoxed

    Not sure what version of IE you have, details below are for IE7 but go to Tools, then Internet Option

    Check on the Security tab for Restricted sites that may have been added.

    Also check Parental Controls on the Content Tab.
