hello ballstine69, what on earth drove you to AOL? Worst ISP ever. AOL are the work of the devil, I don't know I single person who hasn't had a problem with them at some point. I would highly recommend switching!

One thing you should try doing is clearing your internet files and cookies. In IE, go to Tools, followed by Internet Options. If your using IE 7, click on Delete, and delete all your cookies and temporary internet files. Restart Internet Explorer, and see if your problems as resolved.

i havnt got a clue im regreting it bad now. i tryed what you said and still it didnt work. its really frustraighting as one of the sites is hotmail and i cant check my emails. is there anything else i can do.

I've heard this little utility works well, but have not had a chance to try it myself: PageFix DNS error fix 2.0 - PageFix fixes websites that display the 'The page cannot be displayed' 'Cannot find server or DNS Error' in Microsoft Internet Explorer. (you can be my test dummy lol).

If your still having problems, there are still many things that can *aparently* cause this problem from ISP to malware. Follow PCHF Prework on my signature, and we can work through this problem.
