A while back my son said he could not access excite.com to check his email. I
remembered being in a window earlier for a similar problem. I went there and found excite was blocked and so I removed it. All worked well after that. The problem is this 78 year old head can't remember where that was. Now I have the same problem and can't access zone.com. My cribbage skills are getting rusty. Need help Please Thanks Kelly

Kelly,
It could be you are thinking of the hosts (no extension) file that lives in the C;\Windows folder. Despite having no extension this is a plain text file and can be read and using Notepad. Remember though that after editing the file must not have any extension. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows kbsmith9 wrote: A while back my son said he could not access excite.com to check his email.

Hi Mike,
No I think I found the window I was looking for under internet options, privacy and click on edit. excite.com was back in there and I removed ti again. I have used system restore back to June 2 with no luck. I have dates back to February. I can use my hotmail address to sign in to this newsgroup or my email but not into the zone.com games. I only get that (page can not be displayed) screen etc. There may be over 100,000 people on line these days. I was there when 4000 was a crowded night.
