    Not able to access some sites
    « on: November 07, 2009, 06:11:05 PM »
    I have XP with internet explore 6.0 and two sites I can not even get them to load seems to go half then hangs, I even called on phone to see if site is working and they said it was.  I have deleted files and cookies and restored defaults under advanced just can't figure why most sites load and one or two do not?

    What are the websites? Can you ping them?

    Ping website here

    Can other computers that use the same internet connection as you access those sites?

      As of now, both sites work fine.
      What Windows version do you use?
      Are you on dial-up?

        Well I  fixed my problem, seems like you need to install service pack 2 for windows xp just the basic xp will not work must have something to do with the ssl or http(s).

        You should install all of the critical updates for your machine, don't just pick and choose them.

        Also make sure that you have good anti-virus and anti-malware software.  I recommend Avast! and Malwarebytes.
