My IE refuses to open a certain web site.

Sometimes it says the URL is not found & others just gives a blank screen.

The same site I can open in another PC at the same time.

The Caps Lock is not on.

Anybody help? like

What is that website. It may just be down. A site I frequent www.trustytime.com changed its web adress to www.ttwristwatch.com

PS: Yes its a replica watch site. Yes I do own a genuine Rolex Yachtmaster, and a genuine Omega Seamaster, however I also have a few replica watches so that when I am in areas that I wouldn't want my real watches to get lost in, I have something to wear.

Opera is better than FireFox. It has some problems though, the UI is hard to get used to and occasionally it won't open some websites (Usually flash). The advantages are:
It's really secure (More secure than Firefox)
The Popup blocker NEVER EVER EVER fails
And it loads webpages faster.

FireFox is actually insecure and loads things slower than most browsers while occasionally not displaying things correctly.

Sorry, I just find it amusing you felt really thought it was necessary to give us that extra information in this thread...

I have IE7 on all my puters. My work pc is still on IE6, but I can't change it without our IT guy having a coronary. We can't use firefox at work either because a few of our customers web sites don't work right with it. So I just stick with IE for continuity's sake.

Ewwww. I HATE IE7. Whenever I try and access my emails through msn, it opens a Window of IE6 AND a new tab in Opera.

So now whenever I want to check my emails I have to go through IE 7 and manually log in.
