Certain pages wont load, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

OK,
My internet explorer stoped working, i got to the point where i reinstalled windows.
Certain pages work well others will just not open(of course the majority are websites that i use for work(insurance)).
No other browser can open this certain pages.
Majority of the time i have no problem surfing the web. 1 week ago i had no such problem.
So:
Fresh windows.
Updated the computer.
No additional software installed.
changed the TWC modem.
Flashed ip address, released and renew ip address, everything possible has been done.
CAN IT BE A HARDWARE PROBLEM????
THANKS

Hi,
Any update here?
By saying "No other browser can open this certain pages", do you mean that page is only configured to open in Internet Explorer or it means the page just can't open due to the connection problem?
And what is your Internet Explorer version and your operating system version?
Have you checked this article?
Wired and wireless network problems
Follow the steps to check the network issue, also if available, please try to connect to another network and see if issue insists.

  • Certain pages wont load or need to constantly be refreshed!

    Some websites wont load the flash content for me or they need to be refreshed constantly. Specifically, the website I use for online homework assignments. It will load 2 or 3 questions in a row and then I'll click next and it wont load and I have to hit refresh. I've tried it on other computers and it works perfectly. I tried all of the flash troubleshooting. I mean ALL of them. I changed the local flash storage settings for the website to unlimited and nothing changed. I contacted the website as well and they said it is a flash problem. I have tried everything I can think of. I went through all of my internet explorer settings as well and it fixed nothing. PLEASE HELP!

    In order to really figure out what's happening, I have to reproduce the problem while running Flash with a C++ debugger attached.
    To that end, the following information would be useful:
    - A link to the website
    - The operating system and version you're using
    - The Flash Player version (you can right-click on Flash content and look at the context menu)
    - The browser and version
    If you haven't already, try on a couple browsers.  The version of Flash Player in Chrome is different from the one in Firefox/Safari, and the one in Internet Explorer.
    Also, do you have any privacy tools or browser settings outside of Flash that might be blocking cookies or something?
    Finally, if the vendor of your homework software is aware of a problem with Flash Player, it might be easier for us to have a conversation directly.  They're more than welcome to reach out to send me a private message via the forums with their contact information, and I'll happily work with them to understand what the issue is and get it resolved.  This would be ideal, because a test account would be very helpful.  We're always happy to add to our pool of real-world applications that we can use for testing.
    Thanks!

  • Pages wont load, links become inactive

    Hello, I have had this issue for a while and I have finally decided to ask for some help, usually I can find answers to my problems but am a bit stumped on this one.
    My issue is this:
    I do a search, right click link and open in new tab - works 80% of the time. ok other 20% page wont open just stuck. Whats interesting though is I have found if I refresh the google search page I can then open the link fine, - the first open page is still sitting there spinning around, sometimes when the link opens this will kick the first try into finding the site. Now it has been getting worse. Now links on web pages becoming inactive as in i click on the link and nothing happens, right click and it does not have open in new tab ect. Its as though the page has lost all of it connections to the internet. sometimes when i refresh the page after a link not working it will open the linked page? bizarre.
    I have done a lot of research on this and have done things like clear the cache,
    uninstalled and reinstalled firefox,
    changed to new profile,
    and a myriad of other things mainly in regards to pages wont load.
    does this happen in other browsers, I barely use other browsers so haven't noticed that it does.
    I use ghostery and ad block plus, ad block pop up, ad block is set to exclude google.
    does this happen on other computers with firefox on my wireless network? not as much sometimes pages wont load but can put that down to internet or wireless issues.
    I cant rule out it being a browser issue because when pages wont load from google links i can open bookmarks and the pages load as well as links from them out to the internet, and the page open via google still sits on spinning, try the link again and again and still wont load.
    Could it just be a bad link? it happens far too often for the internet to have that many bad links.
    other clues,
    Ad block plus and ghostery have used this and updated for a long time with out these issues.
    Issues only started with the last couple of firefox updates.
    something of interest is that this issue started around the time we upgraded to adsl 2+ from adsl and got a new modem, but the internet is still connected and I can still surf from the bookmarks so that could be just a coincidence so I still cant rule out a browser issue.
    oh does the page time out - eventually yes but takes a long time, I do see it saying waiting for fonts.google or other such things but tried all of those fixes and nothing helps.
    I hope I have been able to get my issue across.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • My chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer not firefox i tried the drag it to the little house it did not work it worked before i lost it three days ago

    my chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer but not firefox I tried the drag it to the little houes by the address bar but it still wont load it was working but stopped three days ago

    I upgraded my Firefox and now when I open, either from a shortcut on my desk top or the Firefox icon all I get is a blank page with no address but about:blank. I can then open a page such as my mail or home page from a bookmark, nothing from the desktop will open in any thing other than the blank page. Also my right click options only work once and a while. Things like saving a photo or going back just don't work. All sorts of little glitches, I find them very frustrating and am considering going back to IE even though I don't like it much. All my saved pass words are gone too.

  • Pages wont load Win 8.1

    I have updated to win 8.1 and find that some pages just wont load, sometimes theirs a big lag. eg
    This page can’t be displayed
    Make sure the web address http://www.superrugby.co.nz
    is correct.
    Look for the page with your search engine.
    Refresh the page in a few minutes.
    I copy this url and paste it to chrome and it opens the site.
    This procedure does not always work tho, sometimes it wont open in either page?

    Make sure the web address http://www.superrugby.co.nz
    is correct.
    If there is a connectivity problem try to simplify.  E.g. test with just the site's favicon.
    http://www.superrugby.co.nz/favicon.ico
    Note that if you have visited the site before that might be loaded from your cache (aka TIF).  So at least press Ctrl-F5 after loading it, if not just clear your TIF.  However, there is an intermediate level of cache control that you could try
    using the Developer Tools (F12), in the Network tab (Ctrl-4):  Always refresh from server.  (E.g. that one sounds like you might not need to do Ctrl-F5 while it was in effect.  Use the Capture tool to find out for sure what it does.)

  • The permissions tab under page info is missing and page wont load

    webpage wont load when i go under page info the permissions tab is not there im thinking it is some how block but i dunno ive tried restarting cleared all history ive even uninstalled/reinstalled firefox nothing helps

    You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the <b>about:permissions</b> page.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-website-permissions
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Certain pages dont load...

    Hey everyone... I've searched and read through serveral discussions on this, but I am having trouble loading certain pages and things in safari... most specifically, google.com doesn't load, and when I am on youtube, videos don't play. I click play and it says its loading, but it stays like that... never plays. I've reset my safari settings... cleared everything out...
    Like I said, Ive read through several discussions already, but I havent found any real answers... there seemed to be quite a few people having somewhat similar problems... could an update or fix from apple be on the way?
    Thanks for whatever you guys come up with.
    Derek.

    i went to the tcp/ip stuff, but i dont really want to mess with any of that stuff... i dont really know much about it and dont want to screw anything up... plus, i never changed any of that stuff in the first place.... im still stumped... and finding more sites that dont load for me... cnn.com, hbo.com
    Derek- Sorry for the missing "? " mark in my first post, it was a question in regards to the DNS#.
    Umm so do you have Dns #'s entered, in DNS Servers: field ?
    Frankly, if it would "screw anything up I would not of recommend you try it.
    It is easy peasy, enter the #s either that I posted or from your ISP, see if they are included on the PortForward page or get them from them, then click Apply.
    (If you use Earthlink the opt out dns #s will not be included on the Portforward page nor will Earthlink support give those to you, let us know if those are needed, or search in AD.)
    These are just some of my replies to posters with similar issues
    Which does not include very many other Topics the other Helpers here have solved.
    Can't help you troubleshoot if you do not trust the helpers you seek help from, I presume that is what you are looking for.

  • Safari 5-slow, pages wont load

    i downloaded safari 5 today and ever since the pages are loading SUPER slow.
    i deleted cookies & downloaded the 10.5.8 update combo (as suggested by a computer person).
    some pages load ok, not as fast as they used to. some just wont load at all.
    oh no. have i ruined my new prized possession? help or tips anyone? these discussion threads are discouraging so far.

    HI,
    Your forum profile indicates you are running v10.6.4 but you downloaded the v10.5.8 update? v10.6 is Snow Leopard, v10.5 is Leopard so I'm not sure exactly what you were trying to accomplish.
    For Safari... From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If Safari still lags loading pages...
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    If third party add-ons aren't the issue, repair disk permissions especially if you didn't do this after the Safari 5 update.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    If nothing above has helped, login to another user account. Try Safari there. If pages are still slow to load, then the problem is system wide, not just isolated to your Home Folder.

  • I want to set up Firefox to only allow certain pages to load - how do I do this?

    My children are having my old laptop and I dont want them to be able to 'stumble' across anything unsuitable.
    How can I set up Firefox so that it only allows pages to load from websites I choose?
    Thanx!

    My bookmark toolbar wont load either. I changed nothing in firefox, it just start happening today.

    I would recommend trying one of these quick fixes first:

  • Accounts system prefrences page wont load

    Accounts pane of system prefrences wont load.
    and i use multiple users.
    I have a few fidle finger users so i need to limit them.
    thanx
    jord

    If those other solutions don't do the trick, as a last step I would recommend performing an "Archive and install". Basically, this re-installs Mac OS X without removing any of your user files, settings, applications, etc. It re-installs your operating system, but in a way that preserves everything that you had before. It should fix your System Preferences problem.
    For detailed instructions on how to perform an archive and install, go here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120

  • Certain pages not loading

    Hi everyone,
    Starting a couple of weeks ago, certain web pages haven't been loading on Safari. Specifically, links from Google search results lead to a blank page (Google itself loads fine). YouTube tends not to load, but does at times, and seems to load more often in Firefox. Wikipedia also fails to load. Some pages load, but not completely (earlier today, the Apple page loaded, but the buttons that are normally at the top only loaded as text; similarly, the "My Subreddits" dropdown menu on Reddit does not work anymore). I've tried what seems like everything, but can't find a solution. Strangely, this only happens on my home network, and my other devices (iPhone 5, iPad) work fine. Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks for all your help in advance!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.

    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • WRT54G's Configuration page wont load after firmware update.

    I recently updated the firmware for WRT54G v3 and now when I connect to the configuration page it's jumbled and no options load. Is there a way I can reflash the firmware on the router via a program. I am kinda in the dark on this one so please help. On the brightside now my NAT settings on my 360 are open.

    Go to www.linksys.com/downloads. Open product BEFW11S4 and choose version 3.0.  Then on the downloads menu download the BEFW11S4 Set-up Wizard. Run this software, Server is the router (192.168.1.1), password is admin, file is the firmware for your WRT54G and then hit upgrade.
