    Firefox won't load forums.
    « on: August 09, 2008, 03:57:29 PM »
    It was working fine this morning, but all of sudden when I click on home, the site didn't want to load. The same thing happens to IE. It won't load any of the InvisionFree sites, but it works for other sites.

    What about now?

    Is it possible they were updating the site?

      It started working again, last night, but since the computer restarted, it's not working. And no, it wasn't updating.

          The same thing happens. I cleared all files, and it still does the same thing.

          This is a snippet from here: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,62253.0.html

          Try this.

          Download and Install
          CCleaner.
          When it is installed, run it and make sure the following checkboxes are checked.
          Internet Explorer --> Temporary Files
          Internet Explorer --> Cookies (optional)
          Mozilla Firefox --> Internet Cache
          Mozilla Firefox --> Cookies (optional)
          System --> Temporary Files
          System --> Empty Recycling Bin (optional but recommended if low on disk space)
          You can check whatever else you want but you should know that whatever you check will be unrecoverable.
          When you are done, Run the Cleaner.

            I have tried that, but none of them doesn't work. Even the Google search doesn't work.

            What does work?

            You don't happen to be connected but with no internet access, do you?

              I can access some sites, but I can't access other sites, like Google search and the link I gave away. Now even MSN messenger doesn't work because of a host file.

              I was just about to suggest the host file.

              What Operating System is this? (windows version)

                Post a copy of your hosts file...

                Also are you running a firewall ? ?
                If so which one ?

                  Where can I get the file? And I don't have a Firewall installed.
