I am unable to access www.scotch.wa.edu.au using XP Home
on my PC. Others can access it using XP Professional, or
if using XP Home from a Mac. There is no problem with
Windows 98 or 2000

It is a school website which was recently completely re-
designed and the webdesigner says it is my computer. I
have tried changing security settings, removing all
internet history and reinstalling XP, and all updates.
The school has tried to create the problem using a stand
alone computer with a dial-up connection, but they do not
have the problem. I am using broadband cable. Another
friend who is having the same problem is using ADSL
cable. We are both using Internet Explorer.
When I try to access the website, I get the banner across
the top, the headings down the side, and the subheadings,
but they will not open, except for the registration
page. So some of the site comes up, but no
information. The webdesigner and the school both say
they can't help. Can anybody think of what else I can
try.
 
Download & install MS Virtual Machine Build 3805.
Then visit the Windows Update website to obtain the
security updated version (Build 3810).
