Dont know what I did but for some reason banner ads are just appering as a red x on most websites that I go to. Anyone know of a way to fix this so that they show up again?

Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and open HOSTS file with notepad and find image.com.com to remove any gamespot problem and MSN for any msn problem and so on, u gotta use the find option.

It was reported back that the person first backed up the file then deleted it with no ill effect & the red x problem was gone.
 
If you are using kazaa lite its possible that it replaced your hosts file with an anti-ad hosts file. The hosts files acts as a sort of local static DNS. Using the HOSTS file you can manually assign an IP address to a domain name. So what the kazaa lite hosts file does is point known ad domain to the host file with your computers local loopback address.

AH HA That is what it is. Now how do I fix it is my next ?
 
Huh, so you want banners? Doesnt having the "x" instead means lower web page load time?
 
Here's the default hosts file that comes with windows. Just replace your with it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
