    Trouble accessing certain websites
    « on: September 18, 2010, 06:36:52 PM »
    Hewlett Packard Pavillion
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    IE 8
    32 bit


    Two frustrating problems:

    1)  I go to abc.com a lot to check news stories and comment about various issues in their message boards.

    For whatever reason, the past couple of weeks I have not been able to view videos on the site – they simply don’t show.  I also haven’t been able to access the message boards on the site.

    Here’s the message I’m getting:

    Javascript is not enabled on your browser. If your browser does not support javascript, please visit our browser upgrade page for a list of supported web browsers. If you do not wish to enable javascript, you may still visit the text version of the ABC News ABC News.

    2)  Another website I’m having trouble accessing is ivillage.com (I’ve had a membership there for years). 

    Here’s the message I’m getting:

    Important notice: In order to use Forums, your browser must accept "Cookies" from our servers. It appears that your browser is currently ignoring them. Our use of cookies is governed by our privacy policy. For help, please see the FAQ.
    If you have reached this page, there has been an error. Please contact iVillage.com to report this problem.


    I’ve tried going into IE, Tools, making various adjustment (even tried 'accept all cookies' )  I’ve been in IE Tools so much the past week or so that I’m getting dizzy.  Nothing is working.

    Thanks in advance.

      No, I don't know anything about Firefox.  Should/can I download it?

      Yes, you can have as many browsers as you want. Good for troubleshooting.
