Unable to view website - 8/21/2006 11:06:41   
For some reason, I'm unable to view my website : www.lougopal.com - the page seems to load, on the bottom left it says "Done", I can View/Source and it shows the correct source for my index.htm page but nothing appears on the screen. It's just blank. I go on a different computer (my wife's) and the page comes up beautifully. I've deleted all cookies and files. I'm on IE 6 - on Tools/Internet Options/Privacy/Web Sites - I've even listed my website specifically to allow loading and NOTHING !

It has to be something specifically on my computer.

Help ! I'm frustrated !!!

Can you view other websites? Do you have any spyware/virus/firewall software running?

Yes, I can view other sites. I just loaded Netscape 7.2 and can view it there. Other htm pages on www.lougopal.com can be accessed directly from the Address bar but for some reason, the index page won't display. Crazy...?

Sorry forgot to include that I have Norton Internet Security/Personal Firewall but I've checked all settings - even turned everything off and tried again - no luck!

Try setting everything back to default in IE.

Open Internet Explorer.
Select Tools-> Internet Options.
Select the Security tab and click on the Default Level button if it is available.
Select the Privacy tab and click on the Default button if it is available.
Select the Advanced tab and click on the Restore Defaults button if it is available.
You should also clear your cache and cookies again.

That's rather ironic isn't it! :)

Right, looking at your site there is a distinct difference between the first page and the others.

Here's the header code for 3 pages, the home page comes first. What did you do that's different? I can see the home page has been developed using Word which is not a good idea. Were the other pages done some other way?

The home page was originally done in Word but I've since started using Dreamweaver even when editing the home page. The reference to Word may still be there from the original script. I probably ought to start from scratch ?

I reckon you need to redo that front page from scratch. It has loads of proprietary MS stuff in there which may be causing Norton to block it.
