Solved Can't access Facebook from one computer but can on another

[BinkerNate]

I tried doing this, but there was a delay in restarting because itlookedlike it froze, and was a pain to try and get to use it. But the problem remains.

Copy and paste the code below into Notepad. To open Notepad, click on rb: . Inside

@Echo off

In Notepad, click File and then Save. Type reset.bat inside file name section . Change Save as Type to All Files, and then save the file to your desktop. After the file is saved, right click on the RESET.bat choose

Okay, did it. And still the same. She just came back from work, and it worked there. So home computers no, but yes to work computers? Again, its just her account, not mine on either.

How about her firewall settings is that site being blocked ? What error message do you get . Are you trying to get to the Facebook website or login to Facebook ?

I don't want to get in the way here, but have you tried to access Facebook in Safe Mode with Networking?

I don't think so, but then again how can you tell? I mean the site is not being blocked, its just that she can't log in and its on home computers, not work computers which is weird. The screen that appears when she tries to log on, upon clicking the log in button, is this:

Tried, same thing.

Uninstall Online backup . Open up IE without add-ons and see if you could login to Facebook .

 

[BinkerNate]

Is it at the add/remove/uninstall programs list? Also, its not IE, its Firefox she uses. IE is the same anyways with the problem, but she uses Firefox primary.

 

[VistaKing]

The Norton Backup software is on the Programs and Features window ( add / remove for XP )

Click on rb: type in Programs and Features ( lower case or upper cases don't matter ) inside

and press [ENTER] button


To start Firefox without the Add-ons enable :

At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.... Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog.

 

[BinkerNate]

Did it and still the same.

Create a new profile on Firefox

[BinkerNate]

...same thing

 

[VistaKing]

Samething on a new profile ?

 

[BinkerNate]

Yeah

 

[VistaKing]

What Add-ons do you have inside Firefox ?

 

[BinkerNate]

Sorry for being late, but the only add-ons she has are only under plugins: adobe acrobat, shockwave flash 11.8.800.95 & 11.7.700.170, Silverlight 5.1.20513.0, and windows live photo gallery 15.4.3538.513.

What if you uninstall Flash and reinstall flash using this one below

[BinkerNate]

Well, before I go and do that, we tried another home computer and it was the same. Fact is: the three home computers in our house are doing this to her profile, and only her profile. Mine and my brother's are fine, just her. And again, when she's at work, it's fine. It doesn't really matter, I don't think, what she has or not; its just home computers, not work computers. That's why its weird.

You can see if she can login through an https proxy. You are trusting the proxy site with your login info, but you can change your password after. Or change it before from work, and change it back after, if that concerns you.
