I have just set up a new dell system. Internet Explorer
is not allowing me to log onto or even bring up some of
the sites I used to use. It displays the Error 403
message. How can I fix this problem? I need to get to
these sites!
 
Hi,

403 means that access to that pages is forbidden. Some possible causes:

- The setup of your ISP might not be correct.
- The homepage of your IE might be wrong
- There might be a false entry in your HOSTS file. Start, Search, Files,
HOSTS (without extension). Rename the file to hosts.old and reboot. Does
that help?

Kind regards
