Your PC is better spec than mine and I don't have a problem, though two week ago I did start my computer from scratch by backing up all my files and formating both my Hard Drives and re-installing windows xp home, now my PC can talk to my XBOX360 (About time) which before it didn't want to know, I now have a gamertag as well.
 
There's probably something on your machine stopping that page loading up correctly. There's still some very low spec computers out there, much worse than yours which will load that site up ok.
 
Try your hosts file m8 a script could have added to it. If it is it'll have 127.0.0.1 followed with the site you're trying to access, delete the entry then save it (with Notepad) then remove the .txt extension.

My ISP address was automatically blocked from the March Cabriolet Club website after i sent a Sniffer program in to do searches for me... it being all in Japanese and all lol, now i can only get to it via a proxy.

might be what you have
 
well just tried a proxy site to get the page to work and it doesnt argh this is doing my head in now i really am going to look for a really big hammer now
 
Hosts file

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

Double click on hosts and open it with notepad


You MAY have a browser hijack object on your machine (BHO). You need to download a program called Hijackthis. (google it). Do a scan of your machine and upload the log file onto here (copy and paste the contents).

right i have no idea what all of that means lol
 
The first is a list of programs running, or more precisely, processes. I can't see any thing out of place. I stopped keeping up with windows nonsense about 3 years ago - so I don't know for sure. The 2nd looks to be a list of registry entry's?
 
In my opinion, you should delete the ones which I've bolded (close IE/firefox.. everything infact before continuing) Ones i've put in italics are questionable. I like a very tidy start up process and although you're removing objects from this list, such as photoshop, msn and adobe and whatever else i've chosen, doesn't mean the application won't work, it just means it's not always running when you start the system up, and will only run when you tell it to.

Is your computer connected to the internet via a modem or a router?

I notice you also have Windows XP Service Pack 3.. Have you had these problems since SP3 has been installed? as you might be able to revert back to SP2.

By the way, as i've said that's my opinion what to delete! You should proceed at your own risk :p
 
check your hosts file.

Code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost


is what it should look like under default XP install.
