thanks for the response Nemesis.....I tried what you told me, but I can't seem to find myspace.com on the restricted list, even though it registers as restricted site when I go there. Any other ideas?????
Spyware Blaster is installed, but I also have that on my laptop running Windows 2000 Professional, and I can access myspace.com on it. If I could find the site on the restricted list I could remove it, but I can't.....
What virus program are you running? Go into your Virus program and check the security settings there too. Did you try going to Tools and Internet IOptions and setting you decurity level to a lower one to just try it?
If all else fails it is probably not a bad thing as My Space is a virus laiden den anyway. On my old machine every time one of the kids went on there my Norton poped up a virus. Mostly worms but almost everytime anyway.
Thanks for the advice Dale. I tried what you told me to do...check virus program settings and lower security settings, but it didn't work...I still can't log into myspace.com I've gone to using firefox as my default webbrowser, and I haven't had anymore problems. Must be a Microsoft thing. I also run Ad-Aware and Spyblaster to kill off malware etc. My virus program is the free version of AVG for windows.

edit: I suppose as a test you could try adding it to the 'trusted' sites section but I don't think this is a good long term solution.
