some sites don't work
« on: March 21, 2009, 10:28:15 AM »
I bought a used Presario F700 laptop and for some reason I am unable to go to certain websites using it!  It doesn't matter what browser I use (I've tried firefox, google chrome, and internet explorer) certain sites are unavailable to me.  The sites are any kind of torrent and also sendspace.com.  Today I tried to go to allposters.com and none of the art images would show up.  It's like some parental control setting or something but when I go into my computer settings (I use windows vista) under internet options, none of those sites are banned or anything like that.  I know it's not my internet provider because my desktop doesn't have this problem. 

I hope this is in the right place.   Anyone have soem advice for me?

Best thing for any kind of used machine is a format and a clean install of Windows.
