Internet sites want load

[JonDaviS]

Why want some sites load up it says unable to connect? I know for a fact these sites work like orbitz.com and priceline.com some sites connect and some don't i don't know why. The sites want load on internet explorer or firefox. I tried using avast, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Ad-aware 6.0, and Spybot - Search & Destroy and they didn't help. I don't know what to try next. Please help. thanks

If you are using saved 'favourites', do a search in Google (or whatevr) for the site(s) and see if you can link through that.

It may well be that their site has changed something and the old shortcut isn't good anymore.

Also, clear your cookies and temp files.

OK, let's try this;

Go here -> http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Scroll down to entry 225 left hand side and click on the 'Restore Folder Options/Internet Options' - a screen pops up asking if you want to run or save - click Save and then select desktop (click the solid 'v' beside My Documents and select it there.

Once saved, exit to desktop and you'll see 'folderproperties.reg' there - click it (double?) and run it - it is a registry automatic running file that should fix your issue.

Let us know.
