Back button wont work with frames

[Guest]

I have recently noticed that when viewing sites with frames, some frames
won't display, but also when I hit my back button it does nothing. I have to
hit it a few times before it will go back. Are the two problems related you
think?

My comp is fully up to date with SP's etc.

The only non Microsoft plugin is the Google toolbar.

Thanks.

Hi,
These problems might be caused bt a HOSTS file. Are you running a HOSTS file
downloaded from http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm or another site? Or,
has a program such as Spybot or Spysweeper setup a HOSTS file?

Assuming Windows XP...
Make sure that Windows is showing hidden files and is
not hiding file extensions for known file types then check for a HOSTS file
at [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] Open the HOSTS file with notepad. If
there are entries you wish to disable, you can put the pound sign (#) in
front an entry to disable it. Then File> Save. Or you can rename the HOSTS
file to HOSTS.OLD to disable it.
In Win 9x, the file will be at [C:\Windows]
In Win 2K, the file will be at [C:\WINNT\System32\Drivers\etc]
