Off Topic Browser problem

Cap · 02-16-2007, 10:29 AM

Hi, guys. yesterday my home PC started acting up (again). I wasted 3 hours of my life I'll never get back trying to solve the problem. My ISP techie said I needed to flush the DNS cache. I found the command (ipconfig /flushdns), but it won't work. I opened the DNS Cache file and it was disabled so I restarted it, but still no go. I've tried several tips I found in help forums, but I'm still getting something like, "will not display web page" when IE tries to open. Email is working and so is MSN Messenger. Is this a virus? A corrupted file? Ran Norton virus scan and found nothing.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Just want to thank the thousands of supportive members for the mountain of email. Not really interested in male enhancements though. Thank gawd I fixed the problem myself. Just turned that little red key at the back next to the freen inducer coil. Wow! and now everything is in colour too! If I could just tone down those live images from the Hubble telescope. Wonder what all those round saucer-shape thingies are passing Mars?
