Just got new computer and some websites don't work?? Some websites don't work. Like Facebook, Hotmail, and Yahoo. Pretty much any website that requires any sort of log in. MSN and Google work perfectly fine. I've tried googling this and have come up empty handed. I've run the connection troubleshooter and it just comes up that it doesn't have a problem. I'm assuming this is a connection setting problem. But I have no idea where to start. | My System Specs |

This is not connection problem since you're connected already and able to browse google
I belive is browser setting problem, preventing you browsing https sites.
what browser have you installed?
also what anti virus program have you installed? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satelite P300D 13J (Short model No: PSPDCE) OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1 Version 6.1 Build 7601 CPU x64bit AMD Turion(tm) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-82 Memory 4096 (2048 + 2048) MB, DDR2 RAM (800 MHz), max 8,192 MB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3650+HyperMemory™(512MB VRAM+2302MB) Sound Card Manufacturer: harman/kardon Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor (MONITOR\LPLA101) Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 (19" LCD) Keyboard USB Logitech S520 Mouse USB Logitech S520 PSU Batery: technology : lithium-ion Cooling integrated cooler + 3x external cooler Hard Drives HDD1: TOSHIBA MK3252GSX ATA Device (IDE 320 GB 5,400 o/min) ,

Just the normal Internet Explorer. I've downloaded Firefox and get the same problem. McAfee is the virus detector. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit |

If you decide to try another anti virus, which I recommend. I use MSE and Windows 7 built in firewall.
I also use MBAM Pro and SAS with good luck. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home made Desktop OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Does the site open, but not display correctly?
Can you not even open the page for these sites?

When I try to access Yahoo or Facebook the browser page goes white and nothing pops up. It just keeps loading and loading but never actually loads anything. I'm not sure if there is an error message.
This is my parents computer actually. They took it to best buy yesterday and best buy said that they fixed it and that they could come pick it up today. Today they brought it home and it does the same thing it always did.
I'll post more information when I get back to there house to look at it again. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Just got new computer and some websites don't work?? problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:48 AM. | |
