Can't connect to PC Magazine web site

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. A web site that I visit daily,
www.pcmag.com, is suddenly inaccessible. I can log into other sites without a
problem, but when I try to access www.pcmag.com, either through my Favorites
or by typing in the URL directly, I get a long delay followed by the
"Internet Explorer cannot display this web page." This problem cropped up
suddenly and for no apparent reason. I can access the site on other computers
on my network, so I'm the only one having this problem. Any suggestions?

Regards,

Ron

Have you tried clearing your cache and revisiting the site?

Maybe it's a Flash or Java issue. The page opened fine for me, but the
first thing up was an animated ad.

You're not using the 64-bit browser are you? (Excuse my stupidity, but I
don't even recall if there's a 64-bit version of Premium. If not, then my
question doesnt make sense.)

I'm not sure what the relevance of the 64-bit browser is... but 64-Bit
versions are available for Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise,
and Ultimate.

Lang

64-bit browsers have trouble with some sites because there are no 64-bit
versions of particular browser plug-ins.
I forget specifically which plug-ins have that problem, but it could be
Flash, Java, etc. I'm not sure.
I'm sure someone will chime in and clarify.
Anyway, that's the relevance of 64-bit to this discussion.

Are you sure there's a 64-bit version of Home Basic? That seems to be a
contradiction in terms -- 64-bit Vista Basic.

Sorry, I stand corrected:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pr...ions/64bit.mspx

Yes, I've cleared the cache a couple of times - temporary Internet files,
history, cookies, the whole batch. No change as of yet. Thanks!

No, I'm running the 32-bit version of Vista. The puzzling thing to me is that
it has worked for months now and only recently began to be a problem. The
fact that it's just that one site makes it even more confusing. I appreciate
any advice or suggestions you may have.

Sounds like you may need to clear the DNS Resolver Cache. Try IPCONFIG
/FLUSHDNS from an elevated command prompt and see if that doesn't
correct the problem.

I followed your instructions and restarted my browser but the problem is
still there. Another oddity; at times when I type the URL into the address
bar, it will take me to www.google.com and display the search results for
"www.pcmag.com." The top result, of course, is a link to the PC Magazine web
site, which I select in the hope that it will work - it doesn't. What now?
Thanks for the suggestion - I thought it would work!

Regards,

Ron
