By the way, I have not changed my HOSTS file in four years, and I have looked through it and there is no mention of i.i.com.com anywhere in the list.
When I load CNet.com into both IE and Firefox browser, all images appear as broken links and formatting is scattered all across the page.
This does not happen with any other website.
I use Firefox 1.0.3 (no extensions) and IE 6.0.
I use Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
As suggested in other forums on the web:
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Flash.
- I have emptied my cache and reloaded.
- I have turned off my firewall, reloaded and it still happens.
A big thank you for your kind response to any assistance you can offer.
