Consider this: one XP sP2 PC with 4 user accounts (all admin) - 3 have no
issue but 1 account gets the following issues;

when typing www.nba.com (US basketball site) loops back to about:blank but
if types http://www.nba.com can access site fine.

when on site and trying to watch game clips gets Action cancelled and Page
has stopped viewing (claims he gets thos on other sites but not seen myself)

no enterable boxes when launching search function, just stupid dog !

Have renamed and alos replaced hosts file ...in
windows\system32\drivers32\etc with no joy.

What am i missing ?!!!

For your first issue - see:

The NBA sites uses different file types to play videos:
http://www.nba.com/help/faq.html#av - according to this, RealPlayer seems to
be predominant. QuickTime may also be used, and Flash, too. If you are
getting Action Cancelled error messages, make sure you don't have a
program/toolbar that has a feature that blocks Flash - like an ad or pop-up
blocker. More info here:
http://www.nba.com/broadband/it_faq.html - make sure cookies are enabled,
and that your firewall is set properly.
