Kristof,

If "page can't load" means you get a page not found or "404" error,
I'd check for a browser or dns hijack.

Do this: Start - Run - type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt", open
"c:\ipconfig.txt" in Notepad, copy and paste contents here.

Search your entire hard drive, including hidden and system folders,
for file "hosts". The one legit hosts file will be in
"...\system32\drivers\etc".

Check for spyware. Get HijackThis, Spybot S&D, and expert advice at
