Hi Guys.
Not sure if this is the right place for this topic, but I couldnt decide which title it would best fall under.
Ive just bought the ladyfriend a laptop. A TOSHIBA P200D-139.
From Currys

Anyway, all seems fine and dandy, until we try and access the internet.
It will access some sites no problem, but others hang and wont load at all.
We're on a wireless connection if that makes any difference, but some sites work fine.
Examples of sites NOT working include Facebook, Miniclip and Wink Bingo, so I thought first there may be some kind of restriction like you would expect of a work PC, but other similar sites like Myspace, Mousebreaker and William Hill DO work, so Im stumped.
Ive tried turning Windows Firewall off, same with Norton, which came pre installed on the laptop. Then I completely uninstalled Norton as it was only a 3 month trial jobby anyway, but its made no difference at all.
If I type in the actual IP address for Facebook, it accesses the page as if its working, but then when I try for log in details, it hangs permanently again.
Ive emptied the SSL cache, emtied cookies, empties all offline content. All no joy.
I now have 3 options.
1. Leave myself in your capable hands and hope you can shine a light of wisdom on me
2. Take the *censored* thing to Currys and hope theres one employee who's over 12 who has a clue
3. Throw the laptop out of a window
Obviously, the options are in order of likelihood, but number 3 may well make a shock comeback!!
Hope someone can offer up some assistance?
Thanks in advance.
Allan (absolutely no clue)
