Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 It's possible you need a download from microsoft. Sometimes that happens to me and it usually fixes it. You might also need to adjust your internet explorer through the tools settings. I hope that helps. OT--Help! Can't Access Web Pages Don't know who else to ask, so I'll ask anyone who can answer me. Over the last few days, I haven't been able to access MOST web pages, most of them tell me that the "page is unavailable". Then, sometimes, it's ok. I can't think of one single thing different that I've done with my computer, but this is happening. Today it's been happening so much, that I can't even access my home page to go to a search engine to get info on it directly off the internet. What IS going on??

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 If you are on cable modem, one thing you can try is to shut down and unhook the modem for about 2 minutes. Then rehook and reboot. We had what you describe last year and was told it was an overload of our modem buffer...it made it look like no pages were available and once I did the above, it worked right again.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I've gone in looking at my Explorer settings, and they are the right ones, so I'm thinking you're right about the download. Must be something wrong with my Explorer. Re: OT--Help! Can't Access Web Pages It's possible you need a download from microsoft. Sometimes that happens to me and it usually fixes it. You might also need to adjust your internet explorer through the tools settings. I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
