Unable to open web pages in Windows Vista

 

Your internet explorer might be restricting to open the pages. Try out these steps:

Go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>Settings and check that "Use a proxy server for this connection" is not checked.

It would be advisable to perform a operating system cleaning of the caches

Restart your system in MSDOS mode and at the C:Windows> prompt key in the following, press Enter after each line:

smartdrv

deltree tempor~1 

deltree cookies 

deltree history 

exit

if this doesn’t fix up your problem then there might be some problem in your DNS and the settings. Call up your service provider and check if you are using the right settings.
