Whooter Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I'm usually pretty good at figuring this stuff out, but I'm at a loss, here. On my desktop PC, when I got to http://www.gamespot.com, it looks like this: No other web site I visit have any issues, and if I access it from my laptop on the same internet connection, it looks fine. It looks like it's not doing Javascript or something, but it's all turned on, as near as I can tell. Any ideas? I'm :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Tyner Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I bet your desktop PC is blocking image.com.com. That's where the CSS file that defines the font style and where most of the site's images reside. The only images I see displaying on your screenshot are hosted at img.gamespot.com. What happens if you try to load this image directly on your computer? If I had to guess, I'd say it's one of the following possiblities: 1) you're running a software firewall (like Norton Personal Firewall) that thinks image.com.com is an ad server 2) you have image.com.com blocked in your HOSTS file 3) you're running ad blocker software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starhawk Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Joel, this happened to me a long time ago, and I was unable to figure out how to fix it, and i even emailed Gamespot. I think it must have just resolved itself because i havent had that error in sometime. (or i believe my hard drive crashed at that time so that was probably it.

JTello Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Damn Joel, I was sure it was caused by the backlog of PORN clogging up your system resources! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, there's no backlog. Usually it's a shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelley Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 this happens to a lot of people who install Kazaa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hrm. I wondered about that. I thought I'd only installed KazaaLite at one time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTello Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 this happens to a lot of people who install Kazaa. Yeah, I've come across a couple of forums where this was suggested as a cause in similar cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Out of curiosity, where does one find the "host" file? I've heard mention of it before. Will it be in Windows 2k also? Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
