The last couple of weeks I cannot open some of the websites I look at.
After trying to load it says the page cannot be displayed or something to that effect.
I have not changed any setting on my computer.
If it was only one website I could understand it might not be available anymore but 7 or 8.
Any suggentions.
Thanks

They didn't pay their over-bandwidth charges?
They got DDoS'd?
They are using a script that your browser is blocking? Those pages may be trying to load a JavaScript function that is having problems, and the page will not display at all until that function has completed loading.

You say that nothing has changed in your browser, but what about your Hosts file? Has malware or some over-protective anti-spyware program written those websites to resolve to 127.0.0.1?

Thanks Wiz.

Is their something I can check on my computer and maybe change so I can access this website.

Thanks

randmcnally.com opened for me, in Firefox and Internet Explorer. I looked at the source code and 1/3rd of it involves JavaScript functions. Perhaps your browser is choking on one of those functions. Try viewing it with Firefox (link is in my sig).
