laptop refusing to open email, banking, etc
Looking for help or explanation...this is driving me nuts...anybody? (Mr Mixture, etc)...
My laptop, (or browser), has decided it will not let me open various (perfectly legal), sites I visit on the internet, such as my banking and email accounts. This has only just recently happened, I have had no problems previously.
I just get a message unable to display website, have you typed it correctly, etc. Programs on hard drive, such as Excell, are working normally.
It's quite an oldish laptop, (Acer, about 4 years), running Windows 7. I use internet explorer 6 as a browser. I have scanned it with AVG to see if it has picked up a virus or two, but scan showed no infection.
I am not brilliant at fault finding on computers, so please be gentle...!
