Can't see ad banners...

Not that I'm complaining, but on the opening page, I can't see the advertising banner. In the place of where the ad should be, it says, "this page cannot be displayed." Normally this would be a bonus, but it happens on other forums I visit and when I want to back out of a page, I have to always click twice for some reason. It's a minor annoyance, but Id love to figure out what is cancelling out those ads and causing me the extra clickage. I do see the ads in this forum....just not on the front page. Any ideas?

Give us your email address and we will send you HEAPS of advertisements

Some people don't know how lucky they are

Gosh, i didn't see that coming. It's not the ads I want, it's the ability to back out of a page with one click rather than two. Catch my drift?

Are you viewing it from a school or somewhere like that that has certain restrictions? I had the same problem in school, it is more of a nuisance than the ads themselves........

No, this is my machine at home. The one at work works splendidly. I have a version of Win XP that cannot be upgraded or updated. Ocassionaly I get a promt that asks me to DL Java Virtual Machine but when I try to DL it nothing happens. I get the sense that the two may be related but I really have no idea. Is there some kind of internet thingamabob that must be up to date in order for the ads to be displayed?

Well, I'm not sure cos I don't use Win XP, I use trusty old 98 ( ), but have you tried visiting the official Microsoft Internet Explorer webpage? They might have what you need in the downloads section....

Yeah, I have visited the Microsoft DL site and there is plenty there for me to DL. My problem is this is somewhat of a trial version of XP and they will not allow me to upgrade/update it. Was hoping there might be an easier quick solution...change a setting or something like that.
