Can't see images on a particular website

HOLsale

i've updated XP this morning

it's now blocking me out of auctiva community (forums) and of course i'm having a problem with auctiva that i need help with and now i can't ask on the forums :mad:

this is really starting to p*ss me off now, i have no clue why it's happening, it makes no sense whatsoever and i've wasted valuable hours trying to resolve it...

thanks again, i downloaded that and it removed even more stuff than spybot and adaware removed BUT it still hasn't fixed the problem... and mcaffee doesn't appear to be interfering with avg as far as i can tell (plus i'm all updated now)

i'm really confused as to how a specific website can just disappear, it works for other people why not for me?

Images can dissappear due to cache corruption.
Images can get blocked by security tools just by the name they use.

A website can disappear due to either local or network issues. What error message do you get in its place?

What ISP are you with?

Try the following:

telnet https://www.thesimsresource.com 80

then

GET /

If that fails to get there then you need to check your network: ping and traceroute to the site.

And just get Flash aswell..

Dont install the Yahoo Toolbar, this may have nowt to do with it but its best
to be upto date anyway, also make sure you have all XP updates if XP user.

i have both java and flash but i'll update both

i got rid of yahoo toolbar, what a pain!

What do you mean by blocking - you can't get to the site at all?

If so turn the firewall off and try it.

i tried installing the latest version of java and this is what i got



i'm with bulldog (unfortunately don't get me started on them!)

this is getting ridiculous, i can't access quite a few of the sites i'm trying to now this is obviously a problem with my computer but i have no idea what to do

i just got a script error for IE do you think that i may have a corrupted version of IE ?

i know we have big problems on this computer because dh uses Netscape and i use IE if one of us has been using our browser, even if we switch users and close down all the windows if we use the other browser it clogs up the machine

normally we have to restart the computer

also, while i'm thinking about it, when our computer freezes and we have to restart it NEVER goes through scandisk... is that normal with XP?

If you did it right then you're either blocking it or have a network issue.

ping https://www.thesimsresource.com
tracert https://www.thesimsresource.com

ping 193.45.143.10
tracert 193.45.143.10
pathping 193.45.143.10 (you might have this installed)

AFAIK on windows xp you have to run 'cmd'. Start -> Run -> cmd ?

Then type the commands in.
