Vista - can not access websites

I am unable from my Vista computer to access walmart.com website. I have
tried all suggestions from the groups that I have found, but still no luck.
We have contacted Dell tech support & they state that I need a Vista patch.
But I can't find it on the Microsoft website & Microsoft will not talk to me
w/o $. I have NO problems from my XP computer getting to walmart.com.

I have also noticed that I can log into my internet provider's website
www.cableone.net but can't see anything from my Vista computer - again my XP
is fine.

Please help!

Hi,

Is that the only site you have trouble with or is it anything other than
your provider's site? How about email and other net-based services? Was it
working previously?

Hello Becky,

Close any open instances of Internet Explorer.


Go to the Control Panel/Internet Options/General tab, under browsing history
click on 'delete'.


Delete Temporary Internet Files and Cookies. Close this dialog when complete.


Click start, type CMD. Right click the entry in the start menu, choose 'run
as administrator'.


From the prompt, run "ipconfig /flushdns" (without the quotes). When
complete, exit the command prompt.

Reboot

Retry the sites.


Best of Luck,

Web site/browser error code when you cannot see the Web page for the site
you're trying to view. If you do have a router there, did you connect the
Vista computer directly to the modem and try to access the sites to see if
the problem follows? If you have a router sitting there what is it
make/model?

I have never been able to connect to my internet providers site. I was
previously able to connect to the walmart.com site, but never able to order
anything. My order would never complete.

I have a linksys wireless g router. The computer I am using is a laptop w/in
a wireless network. I have another (desktop) computer in my son's room that
is also wirelessly linked (w/XP) & has no problem accessing either site....so
that doesn't lend itself to being a problem w/the router.

The problem really appears to be a Vista problem.

By the way - when I can't access the walmart site I get the msg Internet
Explorer cannot display the webpage.

When I access my intenet providers site, I can log in to my account but the
page is just blank.

Some sites install an active X control, but most use cookies.
If you have the security/privacy settings too high, the site can't keep your
information (in the cookie) while you complete the checkout process.
I would check those settings, delete all temporary internet files with the
browser closed, and try again.

Hi Becky,

Close any instances of Internet Explorer. Click start and type CMD, then
right click the entry that appears in the start menu and choose 'run as
administrator'. From the prompt, run "ipconfig /flushdns". When completed,
close (type "exit") the command prompt and retry accessing that (or any)
site.
