Computer Problems

[Kyle?]

For some reason, i cannot access any sites (barring this one strangely) on my computer, it keeps saying i have a DNS issue. You people are smart, what am i doing wrong?

Weirdly, the problem only started when i installed spotify on my facebook account. Since then, nothing works (i've uninstalled it now) except this one website, everything else is


Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage


And it's getting really annoying.

Try a different browser first of all.

Edit - and never use Internet Explorer ever again.

This is not a problem. It's clearly showing you that you should only be visiting this website

And so you should be

It is a problem. I'm trying to get tickets for the arsenal - villa game, yet i can't access the site to do it.

You watch too much porn and it's f***ed your computer.

it's f***ing spotify, ever since i downloaded it, my internet is f***ed. I've watched truckloads of porn and nothing has ever happened, my internet security takes care of virus', this is an internet issue, not a virus.

Presumably you've tried restarting both PC and modem?

I'm assuming you've disconnected/reconnected your Internet several times.

High five.

Yes, second thing i did after uninstalling spotify. Didn't work, so i'm now moving all uni stuff to my phone, and will probably try a master reset.

Bit extreme. I don't think you need to go that far just yet. It's not a major issue if you can connect to this website, but it sure is a pickler.

I've had a similar weird issue a few times when I could only connect to sites hosted by google. I could check my gmail, browse google maps etc. perfectly well but every other website appeared to be down. It corrected itself within a few hours. Possibly what is happening now.

[Kyle?]

The sites i can connect to are

Toonforum.co.uk
youtube.com
autosport.com

That's it, nothing else works. Can't even watch porn.

System restore may do the trick.

So i don't need to grab a hammer and beat my laptop to death then? That's what happened to the last one.

Also, i can't see anyones avatars, they just come up as a blank square with the little red x in the corner.

I'd give it a bit of time, maybe close all programs that aren't vital via Ctrl+Shift+Esc>Processes.
