I use win98 se adn the last few days I've had to close explorer (the shell) in order to be able to view the ns forums... I mean I can go to ns.org no problem but when I try to go to the forums I get a page not found error. Can anyone help me. I havent installed any new software or messing with any settings so I'm very confused at the moment. I use aol dsl for internet and I'm using internet explorer.

    I really don't understand your post mate

    specialy, seeing how as you just posted and you are saying you are having problems seeing the forum...

    just keep doing what you are doing at it should work

    try ussing this direct link:
    <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php</a> (save it some where like your favs and just use that)

    I'm not a noob I have forums main, PT forums, and beta info forums on my links tab. When I start my computer I have to close explorer and let it restart before I can view the forums. This is getting rather annoying I have no problem viewing forums.joe.to which is my homepage but when I try these forums I get a page not found error if I dont restart explorer.

    Go to the control panel and hide the session number - there's a bug in some versions on explorer with long paths/variables. Hiding the session number seems to help as a work around.

    ok, so inorder to view the forums you have to start ie, close ie then start it and go to the forum?

    very very wierd.

    Try what Eaglec said.

    Also try running windows updater (make sure IE is patched to the max)

    Does IE start when you start your comp? (like do you have it in your start up folder?)

    Try changing your home page to the forums.

    Try hitting escape before your home page loads then go directly too the forums (so it is the first thing your browser proceses)

    well, eaglec's is more likely to help but if it don't, poke around my ideas.

    It wasnt IE it was the windows explorer shell, the thing that controls your desktop and your taskbar and the launching of programs. eaglec fixed my issue. thanks. What I find weird is that I previously had the code disabled and suomehow it got re-enabled.
