Vista - What is causing this???

03-28-2009

Hi All,

I have recently been getting messages "Oops! This link appears broken" when
visiting sites via Internet Explorer. Its not any particular site but very
random and could be any site within my favrourites. This is REALLY, REALLY
becoming a problem. I have tried using the command ipconfig /flushdns,
/registerdns. I have also cleaned out the history and tmp files but still get
the problem.

Can anyone offer advice as to what i could do to solve this problem?

Regards

It sounds like you have installed the Google toolbar and it has a problem.

That only shows how to change the message, not how to fix the problem.

If you turn this feature off as the link describes you will be able to see
if there is a problem with resolving the websites or if the problem is with
the toolbar.
