Cant Open a Website

[Guest]

Can someone please help me...

I'm a very keen sailor and have been trying to open www.blackpearlracing.com
who are an entry in the Volvo Ocean race but cant open there website.

When i go to the site i click on the "click here to relaunch the site" but
nothing happens. I've downloaded the Macromedia Flash Player as recomended
but still nothing. I also downloaded J2SE runtime enviroment 5.0 update 5 as
well.

When I do put the cursor over the link i get a javascript:lanuchsite();

Do i need to install something else or just change something to allow me to
enter the site?

Hi Mallet

Try the following and see if it helps:

Cannot access just one site

Cannot browse certain websites
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10082

or..

Tools>Internet Options>Privacy
Click Sites.
Enter the website and click Always Allow

and.....

Go to the following and open with Notepad,
C:\WINDOWS\HOSTS (the one with no extension (not the .SAM one)
then delete any listing reference for the site you are trying to open.
Then Save and close.

Try adding the site to your Trusted Zone.

If you have Zone Alarm, you might also check the Trusted area there too:

Also....try resetting your Security to low and see if that helps. And
disable any 3rd party toolbars or ad blockers you may have installed.


Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply

Havr tried a number on things but its still not working...

I went to another website that i know and cant open that either... when i
click on the lick in the bottom left hand corner it says javascript:;

I have tired in on a friends computer and his works. Although when he clicks
on the link to refresh the site (www.blackpearlracing.com) he gets the
windows yellow shield and i dont....could this be the problem?

Hi Mallet

Try the information here and see if it will help:

You cannot open a new Internet Explorer window or nothing occurs after you
click a link
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;281679&sd=tech.

If that does not help, see if refreshing the script engine helps:
Script Debug Errors

Hope this helps.
