On both my internet browsers most advertisements and some
pictures just won't load up. This restricts my access to
some sites and pictures(usually no advertisements wouldn't
bother me, but i cant access some sites). I've skimmed
through da preferences but can't resolve it, any advice?
 
Cameron,
Symtom: Page cannot be displayed / Cannot find server or DNS Error

In the event you can not access a site and you believe it
may be due to an entry in the HOSTS file.

You can use a simple batch file to rename the HOSTS file "on-the-fly".

Check the URL first! It may be taking you to somewhere you don't want
to go! Yes webmasters can fudge the URL displayed in the lower left
corner of your browser. When you are not sure - right-click the link
and select: Copy Shortcut - paste to Notepad.
