    Which Operating System ?
    Which Web Browser ?

    In case you use Internet Explorer try the following:
    Close all browser windows
    Go to Start - Run and enter regsvr32 urlmon.dll and confirm with Enter or OK.
    Should bring up a little messagebox saying "Registerserver ...in urlmon.dll succeeded"
    Then reopen Internet Explorer and check those Links that didnt work.

    Aight Windows XP would be the operating system, thats sorted.
    Now do you use the integrated aol browser to surf the web, or another browser like Internet Explorer ?

    Did u try what i posted earlier ?

    Have you got the updates from windows? Did the pc come with a Service pack 2 disk? Have you got a firewall?

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    don't know about updates from windows or how to get them, pc didn't come with a service pack 2 disk.
    i have got firewall but i don't think that's the problem because it works on some sites but not on others !
