I get a "page cannot be displayed" error where banner ads and certain images should be. It shows a small red X. These are pages that I have viewed before but am unsure what has changed. Can someone help me so I can play games again?
Thank

Also have you installed any new software right before the problem occurred? I have not found a resolution to the problem yet, but I am searching...let me know if you find out how to fix it.
 
Hey, I found out what you need to do. Go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC and find the "HOSTS" file. It's the one that's bigger than 1 k. Make a copy of it for backup. Double click it to bring up the "Open With.." window. Choose notepad to open it, then delete every line except "127.0.0.1 localhost". Save it, then I set my cache for internet explorer (Open IExplore, then click tools, Internet Options, then under the General tab, temporary Internet Files click the button Delete Cookies, say OK, then click Delete Files and put a check mark in "Delete Offline Content, Click OK) Then click Clear History. Change your settings under Temporary Internet Files to be 40-50 Megabytes limit. Then restart your computer. This should fix the problem. If this causes any problems, just replace the contents of the HOSTS file with the backup you created. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
