Followed instructions Janet but still couldn't access any actual pages. Bit of a 'thicko' I must be so what am I doing wrong ? Mary

Cheers - I'll give it a go. I logged on ok but went to the Newspaper bit instead of geneology - daft or what ! I'll try again and once again thanks. Mary

Tried it again - still won't let me in. I log on ok and get through to the next bit but as soon as I click on to ancestry plus I get the 'cannot access this page' so I log on again and so on. Don't know what else or how else to do it. Eeek ! Maybe its me ! Mary

Give this a try....as it should be done anyway.....then try re-accessing the site that's giving you problems: Fixing “Website Can’t Be Found” and other Site Error Messages More than likely you have trouble with accessing quite a few sites.....particularly getting the message "website can't be found" among a few other error messages. Try the following and it should solve your problem. 1. Go to START. 2. Click on CONTROL PANEL. 3. Click on INTERNET OPTIONS. 4. Change NUMBER OF DAYS TO KEEP IN HISTORY to “0” and click APPLY 5. A box appears with tabs labeled across the top. Click on ADVANCED. 6. Scroll down to the sub-heading SECURITY. 7. Make sure the following has check marks next to it: Use USE SSL 2.0, USE SSL 3.0 and USE TLS 1.0. 8. Also make sure you check off EMPTY TEMPORARY INTERNET FILE WHEN BROWSER IS CLOSED. More than likely USE TLS 1.0 is not checked of and it should be. This will give you the error messages, as well as a few others, that will prevent you from viewing web sites and the error you are getting. Make sure you empty your cookies cache as well as temporary internet files once in a while, too, as this slows down your computer and these folders tend to "remember" the errors and may continue to bring them up until the folders are emptied.
