I've had a bizarre problem with Internet Explorer on my laptop for about 10 days which I can't fix...
Has anyone here had a similar problem?
And more importantly, does anyone know how to fit it?
The Symptoms:
When I try to visit certain sites (e.g. my own , or even Microsoft (below)) the browser does not even attempt to find the site on the internet - it just instantly gives the page shown below.
Other sites (like this forum for example) work perfectly normally.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro running Windows XP.
On my wife's laptop, using the same browser (ie8) all sites work normally.
On my own laptop, using FireFox all sites work normally.
What I have tried:
Full system virus scan. (Nothing found).
Upgraded my browser from ie7 to ie8.
System restore (seemed to work very briefly).
Cleared the cache.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions / tips!
