I cannot access olympusamerica.com only regardless of which browser I use
(IE, Firefox or Opera). I can access all other sites, just not that one. I
turned off my Norton Interent Security to see whether that was the problem
but it had no effect. Is there some XP (I have XP Professional) setting that
I might have changed? Any other ideas? Thanks very much.

Scott,

Since you are able to access other sites it may be that olympusamerica.com
is having problems and has nothing to do with you system/browsers.

I just tried and was able to visit
http://www.olympusamerica.com/
in IE, Opera and FF without any problems.

HTH

Naas: thank you very much for the suggestions. I have already done some of
them and will do the others as soon as I can. This has happened to at least
one other person in a photography forum that I participate in, which is
strange. He also cannot access olympusamerica.com or olympus.com. I know
that both sites are up and running. Like me, he can access any other site on
the web. Thanks -- I'll keep trying your suggestions.

Best regards,
Scott

Nass: I want to thank you so much for your help. Unchecking the "enable
third party browser extensions" is what worked. Why is that? Thanks for
your very helpful suggestions and for taking the time to help me.

Best regards,
Scott

Glad to help Scott, do you have third-party toolbar installed?.
Also it could be the Phishing filter or the plug-ins for Norton causing this.
If you tried the Add-Ons before the unchecking the check box you will see
the culprit.
Thanks for your feedback and you are welcome.
Good luck.

Nass: I unchecked the box b/4 trying any of the Add-Ons. I will try to go
through them one by one later when I have a moment to see which one was the
problem. As I understand it, I can disable them one at a time and test the
effect (renabling them to move onto the next one). I should start with the
unverified ones, but it might be any one of them. Thanks.

That true, and you can search for any one of them to know the source/origin
(good or bad) and try to remove or update it, if it was legit.
Good luck.
