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:

is this dialup, BB, wireless?

https://www.ccleaner.com worth a try, but probably isp or firewall or malware related.

She has just tried running cccleaner and it timed out on her

Do you know what ISP she is on?

essexhoney

She is with Tesco

checked the service status for tesco and no issues there.
does she use a modem or router to connect?

Does she use Outlook Express or similar for email? If so does she still receive emails?
