Ok my sister messed with my computer and i now i can't acces my online video game site. It's only that specific site,otherwise every other site works perfectly fine. when i type in the web address and visit this website it pops up with the error website cannot be found message. Does anyone have any idea how to figure out if she blocked/locked me out of this site and how i can get back into it?

Check your HOSTS file with NotePad at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS

If that website is listed, delete the whole line, including the numerical string at the start of the line.
Then use "File>Save" to keep the changes.
