Solve : Could not Open Web Page on certain PC?

Answer»

Two of the PC in my office cannot display a website that other PCs can.

What is the problem and solution?

Thanks.

Look at the crossed out SSL in the address bar...
That means the browser is set to check for SSL when loading a page and blocks it if it is not secure.The other PCs in the office can OPEN the website with no problem, except these two.

So what should I do?
Try typing in http: and the rest of the address 1st...SEE if it loads.Looks like you're using Chrome, Google's browser.  Are the other computers using Chrome?  Have you tried Internet Explorer or some another browser? The page can open with IE or Firefox on both PC.

Typing "http:" for the address will be automatically changed to "https:".

We need to use Chrome because it allows us to save selected pages as PDF, while IE and FireFox could not.

FYI I've scanned both PC with AVG, Malwarebytes' and SUPERAntispyware. Found some issues but the situation remains the same after cleaning. Try Foxit for Firefox...Free.I'll try that.

But what's the problem with the Chrome on the two PC actually?
I believe there should be a solution?
Maybe some settings or options somewhere?I'm using Chrome now and it has no option to save a web page as PDF.  Neither does IE. 

If you want to capture a web page as a PDF file, I suggest you install a PDF "printer"; that will allow you to "print" a PDF from any application that has a Print command.  Numerous freeware programs are AVAILABLE, one of them being http://www.dopdf.com/In Chrome, there is the print option to "Save as PDF"

There is no such option in IE or FF.


Anyway, printing as PDF ASIDE, I'm still eager to know what is the cause and the solution for the page access issue.Any solution?

Anyway, I just noticed that the image is missing from my reply above, and I can't edit the post (I wonder why).

Here is the image:

OK, I found the Save As PDF option in Chrome. I had not dug that deep into the print options before now. 

You could make other browsers capable of printing to a PDF file by installing a PDF conversion program/app.  For example, I have Foxit Reader installed; it is my PDF reader, in lieu of Adobe Reader.  In my Devices and Printers screen (in Control Panel), one of the "printers" is Foxit Reader PDF Printer.  If I issue a print command in a non-Chrome browser, I can select Foxit Reader PDF Printer and this sends to output to a PDF fill.  See attached image.  Or, you could install a PDF converter such as doPDF, and it will achieve the same result. 

I do not know why you cannot view https://www.cnc-angola.com/ with Chrome.  I can.

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Now my problem is not with the PDF printing.

The problem opening the website only happen on the two particular PCs in my office. All the other four PCs can open it with Chrome without any problem.

While I can just leave the issue unsolved and use IE/FF with converter to print the PDF, and stop using Chrome on that two PCs, but I'm still curious to know why the two PCs behave like this. There must be a reason which can be reversed. Maybe if someone can explain under what situation would a webpage behave like this, then we can track back the algorithm to find what is the setting or option involved, which is enabled/disabled on other PCs but disabled/enabled on these two PCs.  Just a suggestion which might not work: Go to Settings and click Hide Advanced Settings to display advanced settings.  At the BOTTOM of that screen, click Reset Browser Settings.

It doesn't work.
Still the same.
