FORUM PROBLEM

[BmXStuD]

I just instaleld XP over. And my problem is when i click "GO BACK" on browser it doesnt go back. So i have to click it 2 or 3 times than it goes back. Also @ bottom sometimes it says 127.0.1 (LOCAL IP btw)

Your HOSTS file has most likely been edited to include entries that block the servers that banner ads are on.

The way this is done is by adding "127.0.0.1 server_name" to the HOSTS file located in WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

I believe Kazaa Lite edits the HOSTS file when it is installed.

Well that's not the only thing that will do it. Check the HOSTS file and see if those entries are in there.

I'm not sure which servers AT uses, it may vary. The fact is that if you block banner ads using that method then the problem you are experiencing will continue.

I'm suprised you haven't noticed it on more sites than AT.
