[Resolved] Can't View site

[peetal]

Ok i got windows XP and i got IE6

i downloaded a program called Tweak-XP
and enabled ad-blocker
then the website rd.yahoo.com
was in the list of sites which were blocked
so i cancelled blocking that site
but not whenever yahoo.com directs me to a rd.yahoo.com site my IE says Page cannot be Found

Example of how it redirects me there;

When i go to www.yahoo.com, I click Movies, I clcik the Matrix new trailer i click it then yahoo goes to

http://rd.yahoo.com/movies/top/prom...hoo.com/movies/feature/thematrixreloaded.html

as one site

but if i cut "http://rd.yahoo.com/movies/top/promos/matrix/?"
it works
but how can i make my pc allow me to go to the site without cutting the rd.yahoo.com part??????

Could be some 3rd party software you installed.
Try IE > Tools > Internet Options and Click Privacy.
Lower the settings to low and see if it works.

nope still doesnt work

 

[Del]

Go to Start - Run, and type the following, , then press OK:

regsvr32 Urlmon.dll

In XP the Hosts file which is used to do things like that is located in:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Open it in Notepad and remove all but the first line (localhost 127.0.0.1)

 

[Del]

If what Rog suggested don't work, you can try a repair on IE.

You can reinstall IE in Windows XP by clicking Start, Run and entering the following command:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\Inf\ie.inf

You will need to have your XP CD available.

Del your first idea of runing "regsvr32 Urlmon.dll"
didnt work

Glad to hear it. Yup it's the Hosts file no matter what Windows version, but in XP it's located differently and exists whether or not anything uses it. It isn't really required though.
