Blank sites, done???

Works for me.

Can you check to see that both PCs are using the same settings and plugins (use the working one as a reference, and ensure that the problematic one is set up identically).

okay, will do

Qmass55 · 14 Feb 2011

they are identical except the working one has 2 microsoft plugins thathe non working one doesn't, they are
office document cache handler and
XML DOC document
What are they?

Neither of those should make any difference.

I'm going to ask for help from someone with more network experience.

Qmass55 · 14 Feb 2011

ok, cheers

I've had a couple of suggestions. These are clearing your temporary internet files, and doing a repair install.

Qmass55 · 14 Feb 2011

ok, I've already deleted the temp files. Is that a repair instal of win7?

Yes, just in case you have corrupt files which could be causing the problem.

Open the hosts file found here with Notepad:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

See if the sites you are having trouble with are listed.

You might want to do a full malware scan. Malware can cause these issues.
