Make sure the address is correct.  This is the one I use that takes me to the posts.

good point, HP computers are known for having a lot of proprietary quirks in them, perhaps its something unique to that computer that is giving you this odd issue

Take it back before you invest too much time in it and get yourself an ASUS laptop. Bestbuy has them and they have more power and features than the nearest Toshiba model. If you have to have a desktop, my Gateway, also from Bestbuy is terrific. And with whatever you choose, use Firefox. Takes a little getting used to after IE, but once you do you will wonder why you waited so long. Good luck!

I'm having the same problem on my new HP that is running windows 8 and Norton security. I have to access the site from my android tablet.

I understand, Mickey. It works fine on my tablet, on my HP PC, on my Acer NetVbook, on my wife's Gateway laptop, and on our smartphones...but it simply will not display on the new laptop. And it's not a browser issue, because we've tried Firefox and Chrome.

I just wanted to "close the loop" on this discussion and thank once again all those who offered suggestions.

I received a complete set of recovery discs that were FedExed to me overnight from Hewlett-Packard.  The process took about four hours, but I'm happy to say the computer now loads HW just fine and the problem is solved (though it's still unclear what caused the problem.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Good to hear you resolved your problem, but what a royal PITA, eh ?

Just thought I 'd mention, I was having a weird problem a few years ago with my computer ( can't remember the exact problem) and I stopped by my local independent computer store to pick their brain about the problem. They are great guys - I should give them more business, but I do most of my computer "work" myself.

Anyway, the first thing they asked was " Are you running Norton/Symantec anti-virus ?". I was. They said to remove it and use AVG ( the free version). They said that's all they use on customer's machines. I took their advice and the problem dissapeared.

AVG also has an upgraded version for about $30 a year, but the free version works great and I have been using it ever since.

I'm running XP w/sp3 Explorer 8.0 and Security Essentials right now at the same time I am doing a full scan, which started at 3AM this morning and have NO problems what so ever.
