I use the Tek-tips programmers forum, but suddenly, all
attempts to access their site have proved unfruitful from
my computer. Works fine on other computers although I can
only partially used the site as I've forgotten my password.

I've asked to be reminded of my password twice but no
reply. I've also emailed them. Again no reply and from
previous experience that is so uncharacteristic.

I'm using Windows XP Home with IE6. Have Norton Internet
Security installed and AdAware 6.0.

Can anyone save my sanity

Cheers

Tony

Check for a file named HOSTS with no extension (not Hosts.sam). It may be a
hidden file. Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site.
Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS

Thanks Frank. Found the HOSTS file but no mention of the
website in it.

Kind regards.

After deleting the TIF's thought, "Why not try the cookies
as well?" Bingo !!

Many thanks for your input.

Kind regards
