:mellow
some of the web pages i've visited recently the pages do not display properly (ie either it does'nt load at all, or all the pics and stuff does not appear) please can some tell me if there is something i could do to solve this problem, i've tried clearing all files in internet options with no success

here's a website i've been trying to go to all week, it only loads in a few of the ads and nothing else

I'm going to predict that you've loaded kazaa lite recently, and that you checked the box for the HOST file

I'm right? wow, thats cool

What OS are you using? I'll tell you how to either edit to your likings, or to delete it completely

i'm using windows 98se

The maxim site works for me in mozilla(with flash installed).

In aIEeeee I just get the adverts and a box asking if I want to install flash. I expect it would display properly if I did.

You can download the flash pluging from http://www.macromedia.com/

I firmly believe there is nothing usfull on the web that requires flash and I mostly find it annoying. I usually don't install it and just don't visit sites that require it.

i already though about the flash player being the problem, but it won't download, i click where it says click here to download and nothing happens

using windows 98se & IE6

i found out what the problem was, it was due to my pop-up stopper program Adsgone, it had an option to stop macromedia ads which was enabled for some reason, disabled it and now all the problems have gone, i thought i would let you know in case anyone else has the same problem

thanks for all the help
