Thanks for all your help. Being a computer novice I wonder sometimes if its just me and unfortunately there's no-one else in our household who knows anything about these things. Mary |

Well what would we do without Judy! She explains everything in simple language without all the technical stuff that my son throws at me and when I tell him I do not understand he looks at me as if I am an idiot (which I probably am but that's not the point) anyway the gist of it is Judy is quite right as usual. I hope you have no more probs |

Perhaps this is what you are referring to? Pat is right, error you are experiencing at GC is most likely due to high traffice periods at the site but below should be done anyway as site errors at other sites you wouldn't realize why you are getting the error message. 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. |

This happens sometimes at peak times when the server is very busy(especially evenings and weekends. Just try again after a couple of minutes. I do not know the technical details (I leave that to my son, he did explain but it was to technical for me to understand) however when he returns later I will ask him for tips unless someone else on this site knows |

Can't seem to trace the original thread for this but I'm having a bit of a 'hiccup' with the family search site. I can happily sift through my rellies for a while then if I need to hit the back button on the computer up pops a message something about URL error and I have to start all over again ! Not sure if its me, the computer or the family search site, then lo and behold it just happened on this one ! Any ideas ? Mary Brooke |
