I can go to any website i have ever wanted to go to, I have had this issue for a long time and it is a huge headache. The website i am trying to go to is one of my bank websites. I have 2 banks mine and my wife has a bank which is the one that i am having problems with. It is First arkansas bank . com without all the spaces. all one word. I just need someone that knows what i can do to make my computer go to this webpage. I have tried ( private window, Safe mode, using different browsers, turning off my adblock plus, turned off my antivirus programs, even tried turning off all process that were running using bare minumum) Any advice or tips would be highly apriciated. Joe

Try resetting IE back to its original defaults. In IE, click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Reset... button. Select "Delete personal settings", click the Reset button, then restart IE and try getting to https://www.firstarkansasbank.com/.

IE/Internet Explorer? What would i have to do if i deleted Internet Explorer off my computer. The reason i deleted it is because it was always jumpy and seemed to be infected or something.

Firefox has an option that lets you temporarily disable themes and extensions, so you can still use your browser even if one of your add-ons is buggy. It's called safe mode and it's "a special Firefox execution mode that can be used to troubleshoot issues in Firefox. In Safe Mode, you can reset some settings or disable add-ons that might be the source of the issue. By comparing Firefox behavior in normal mode to its behavior in Safe Mode with various items disabled, you may be able to diagnose issues."

 

Google Chrome doesn't have this feature, but you can open an incognito window to temporarily disable extensions.

No, not Windows' Safe mode, Firefox's safe mode. The instructions were under that "safe mode" link I posted above. On my version of Firefox, I can click Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled....

Did you try IE (Internet Explorer)?

 

Is your computer plugged into the same router as your wife's computer?

 

Are you running Vista or Windows 7?
