Posting on behalf of lynzpower who hasnt been able to get onto MSE or any other site all day.
She can get on using firefox and IE however with IE after 2minutes it comes up as page cannot be displayed, with firefox it times out her request.
MSE is not the only site she has had problems with and has had frequent page cannot be displayed messages whilst navigating. She is using a copied version of Windows XP. Could this be why it is doing it?
If someone could help she would really appreciate it she is getting withdrawl symptoms due to the lack of MSE! :rotfl:
