can anybody help. I get lots of placeholders on web sites that used to show pictures. I am running xp home and have just had my motherboard and processor replaced, before that everything was fine. I have got Java installed and it is running "apparently" I am also denied access to some sites that i used to visit, SAYING that i am not authorised to view the page. Somebody give me some CLUES please. Oh and i have tried setting all my internet options to default to no avail. Is it your security settings or theirs, is the question. What happened before the difficulties?I had no probs at all before, I could look at whatever i WANTED to on the net. I was running pro before, but know I am running home edition, make a difference?
Oh and what the *CENSORED* is linux????and why should i have it? Linux is another Operating System. Some people like it, but I don't   lol  It's more for a large business... Anyway... Let's try the basic routine steps... Have you scanned for viruses and Spyware? Is there another user on this computer? Are there any Internet control setting installed such as Firewalls and Parental Controls? The change in OS should not make a difference... What sites are these? If they are forums for example, you might have been banned.... Or, if you are visiting a page, it might have been altered by it's host... So check to make sure this happens on other computers before assuming it's yours. Let us know when you get this information
