IE not letting me go on overclockers!!!! [PANIC]

Solouko · 14 Jan 2006 at 14:35

ok, i thought it was just the stupid tiscali download accelerator that was installed on my system messing everything up but it's fixed now and i still cant access overclockers right.

when i click on a link either in the forums of the main site the browser does nothing and all the links on the page stop functioning and if i try to refresh the page everything disapears and i'm left with

<!--

on a compleatly blank page -__-'

the only way i can open anything up is to "open in new window" but when you're browsing on OcUK for a new comp.. that ain't practical

any thoughts?

spyware or malware possibly? do a spybot search and destroy search and a ad-aware search.

what about a dodgy entry in your hosts file? (though its odd that it would target ocuk)

are you sure it wouldnt be my host file? and if it was... what could i do to try and correct it, btw how do you reset your router? i can give that a try too!

it might not just be ocuk but it's the only website i've been on latly but if i find any more i'll tell you

btw, unistalled java and it didnt help

what ever it was it started after installing that stupid web accelerator

Have you tried disabling 3rd party extensions in IE?

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced >

Under the "Browsing" subcategory there is an option titled "Enable thiird-party browser extensions"

Try unchecking that, restarting it and seeing if it works?

ok, i tried that and you know what, it actualy worked. thanks for all your help guys but i'm off to post another topic as yet another problem has cropt up

i think this system's on it's last legs now
