the green dot is correct, now just do this

Then click Start > Run and type CMD and click OK.

At the Dos Prompt Screen, type in cd\ and hit enter.

Now type in ipconfig /flushdns and click enter! (notice the space in the middle)

Close the command prompt.

to make sure that file is not hidden, it may well have been deleted in the clean up

Just looked in the folders and that option to show hidden files and folders is checked, so could this file have been deleted already perhaps< was i doing the right thing by hjt to find it in the first place?
Thanks

HHi,
I did just post reply but somehow not on here! Forum glitches perhaps...LOL

Anyway, just done the dns thingy and it said:
Successfully flushed the dns resolver cache.

Was that correct please?
Many Thanks

At the command prompt type in ipconfig /all > ipconfig.txt

This will create a file called ipconfig.txt in your C:\Documents and Settings\Charlie Willett folder.

Copy/paste the contents of the text file here and we'll be able to check your DNS settings are ok.

If you cant find the ipconfig text file just open the command prompt again and just type in ipconfig /all

Then copy the result straight from the command prompt window as follows:

Right-click the title bar of the command prompt window, point to Edit, and then click Mark.

Click the beginning of the text you want to copy.

Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the end of the text you want to copy (or you can click and drag the cursor to select the text).

Right-click the title bar, point to Edit, and then click Copy.

Position the cursor where you want the text to be inserted, e.g. in the reply box to post here.

:cool:
