Windows ME : Unable to access certain websites

Just like your unsubstantiated opinion.

My opinion don't need substantiated, it's mine.

no offense but your nuts if you think vista is as bad as ME was. you must be a die hard apple or linux fanboy then.

Never bring up your personal opinion around here (unless it is relevant). It's basically flamebait.

clear the cache and try to go to google again, i'm betting it won't work

back in the days of WinME whenever i lost internet connection i could still get to yahoo.com and google.com because it was sitting in cache but i couldn't get to any other web pages. i had to reboot and make the modem work again

but the info you gave us (or probably he gave you) is too little. try going to other webpages. try pinging some servers. try restarting the modem. restart the computer. install firefox to see if it's malware messing with IE. do a virus scan, etc.

there are tons of things you can do, but none of them are guaranteed to work unless you give more info on the problem

[ozgeek]

why on god's green earth would anybody still be using windows 98' or me ? :blink:

Give him some money then so he could afford to upgrade to XP then lol.

See, not everyone can afford everything.

My grandmother ran Windows ME with no problems for pert near 8 years and only recently bought a PC with XP, despite my efforts to convince her to buy Vista.

Your the only one helping him? This is sad! See how most of the users stay off topic. Good advice PermaSt0ne.

Seriously, ME? I'm suprised anything works. Switch it up for gods sake.

oh my goodness ; I saw this topic and thought it was a joke :p

time to upgrade to an NT kernel OS!

There is no excuse to still run Windows ME.

What is this "Windows ME" that you speak of? I know not of any product between 98 and XP </sarcasm>

id say go with linux xubuntu and get rid of me totally.

my god i criticize people for still being with xp over vista or 7 beta but man please move on from 2000, me & 98'. :huh:

i saw "windows ME" and just had to stop by.

Maybe the internets decided that they should forbid people from using Windows ME?

But it does sound like the modem is at fault here.

You people need to shut the **** up.

He chooses to use Windows ME because he either wants to or can't afford to a new OS. Help him out.

OnT: Id do like someone suggested and ping other sites, ping your router and see what results those give.

Windows ME was the last great thing Microsoft ever did.

From your words it seem there is , no issue with the internet connectivity ,as google is working .

Try to open the internet explorer , Go to Tools > internet options > advance > and click on the reset button .

It may solve your issue .

Hi,

I have a friend who is still running Windows ME.

He has recently just started having problems with his broadband connection. He is on Orange Broadband and using a speedtouch 330 modem.

He is unable to access any websites. He can get to Google, but any link from Google = nothing - Page cannot be displayed.

I have brought the computer come and linked to my router - All works fine.

Any ideas? I have even tried reinstalling the speedtouch software. I have taken my laptop to his house and cannoted the modem to my laptop. All works fine on that too.....

Thanks

Try software network troobleshoting or maybe upgrade to windows 2000sp4 professional eddition.or try internet options settings.security zone. :whistle:

If he is still watching this thread since July 2008, I would be surprised. :p

I have found that with the non-NT versions of Windows it is best to just re-install them when you start running into problems, give that a try.

Windows ME was the last great thing Microsoft ever did.

Maybe not the last great think, but for me anyway Me was a rock solid release, used it for longer than I used XP.

[MikeChipshop Member]

Wait... you people come in to the "old windows version" support forums and then bash someone for using an old version of window? Sheeeeshhh

How doesn't it? My recommendation is to purchase a computer worth using. ;)
