I'm really hoping someone can help me with this. I haven't had any problems with any webpages until yesterday. But, for some reason, I can't get several often-used pages to load for me now. Ebay, Yahoo mail, Star-Telegram.com (local newspaper), Download.com are just a few of the pages that won't load. The blue title bar will load normally with the title of the page, but the body of the page won't load. It acts like it is-- the blue status bar moves but the page doesn't load (it reminds me of my old 14.4K modem days from 1995!!!) I would certainly appreciate any help you can offer me. Thanks!

kipster198,

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DSKMGR32.EXE

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dskmgr32] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\dskmgr32.exe

O9 - Extra button: PartyPoker.com - {B7FE5D70-9AA2-40F1-9C6B-12A255F085E1} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\PARTYPOKER\IEEXTENSION.DLL
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: PartyPoker.com - {B7FE5D70-9AA2-40F1-9C6B-12A255F085E1} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\PARTYPOKER\IEEXTENSION.DLL
O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\PROGRAM FILES\PARTYPOKER

files...

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DSKMGR32.EXE

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Let me know how everything goes.

Here's the new log. Thanks for your help.

Did you set these?;

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http://SERVER01:80
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1;<local>

Could possibly be either of them.

Could also be something in the hosts file.

Download the Hoster.
Run it and press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.
Note that if you have a custom host file, this will remove it. You can edit the host file with this program too.

Crunchie-

I ran the hoster. I also deleted the 2 lines you asked me about. I have no idea where they came from. I'm obviously quite frustrated-- so I figured delete them and see what happens. And, what happens? Nothing. Zilch. Nada.

Oh well, here's my newest log. Thanks again!

Have you tried to access those sites with a different browser? Suggest that you try FireFox and attempt to access them. That may determine where the fault lies.

Yes, I've tried downloading Firefox, and Opera. I had the same results with them too! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winsockfix changed all of my settings, and I couldn't load any websites, or my email. So, I reset everything back the way it was before I ran it. And, LSPfix didn't find any errors. So, I guess I'll contact my ISP tomorrow and see if they have blocked those sites for some reason. Although, I have no idea why they would have blocked them. Any other thoughts? Thanks for all your help so far.

I forgot to include a new HJT Log. Here it is:

Sorry to say that this has me stumped :(. Maybe one of our other members has some input for your and mine benefit :).
