my Links Don't Work.

[skywise]

Hi, I would reaally appreciate some help!

Some of my links don't work. I THINK it is called javascript...? Either way, most of the links on my hotmail pages don't work and this includes some other sites.

Sometimes I can't even get into the hotmail pages. This is not a hotmail server error however, because my gmail page also doesn't work and some links on other pages won't go. when I click on them, they just don't respond.

Please tell me what's the problem and how can I fix it. Thanks so much for your time!

Do you get a message come up?

Nothing happens, when i type in www.hotmail.com for example, it just stops working an the page is completely white.

When I press on a link, nothing happens.

OK, I just tried it & it works for me.
Try setting your browser security to the defaults.

sorry but how do you do that?

[Fed]

At the top of Internet Explorer...
Tools>Internet Options>Security

[skywise]

okay I've done that and the problem still persists. This has been happening for a while now.

I heard it was a javacript error but i wasn't sure..

Go to start>run and type cmd or command whatever works, then in the dos screen type
ping www.hotmail.com
and see what returns.

I'll just type what comes up: (excuse my illiteracy )

'www.hotmail.com' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operatable program, or batch file.

Did you type ping at the start?

[skywise]

no ><

ok... so im not sure what this tells me..

[Fed]

You need to open that screen again & type

ping www.hotmail.com

I get the following....

C:\WINNT\system32>ping www.hotmail.com
