SilvrT Posted May 14, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2011 I typed in vistaprint.com and here's where it went... http://www.vistaprint.ca/vp/top_deals.aspx?langid=6&xnav=ipaddr&rd=3&GP=5%2f14%2f2011+12%3a45%3a19+PM&GPS=1548023287&GNF=0&GPLSID= Try clicking on that link or try just vistaprint.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted May 14, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 14, 2011 You could also try turning off some of your spyware, anti-virus, etc, etc one at a time and see if maybe one of those is blocking that site. BTW, I don't have hair to pull out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tryed turning them off , then I uninstalled all of them , went to task and stopped them , even used a norton cleaner because i found a norton file . is there a way to search the whole puter for vistaprint.com to see which file it mite be hiding in ?

Try downloading and running ccleaner and have it do a registry clean. The problem could well be in your registry. [ame=http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/]CCleaner - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com[/ame] I have used ccleaner a number of times and it does a good job. OR, try this link and download WiseFixer. (NOTE: I am not familiar with this program so I can't recommend it but it was suggested on that site) http://www.wisefixer.com/lp/?kw=error-102&gclid=CMfF6YGO6KgCFSUZQgod1BT3CA At least take a look at the above site as it does offer some other suggestions.

SilvrT Posted May 14, 2011 Share #7 Posted May 14, 2011 FYI, I can get to vistaprint.com using Internet Explorer 64 bit but when I try with IE 32 bit, it redirects to vistaprint.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard765 Posted May 15, 2011 Share #9 Posted May 15, 2011 Do a search for your "hosts" file and open it in notepad. At the bottom may be a list of sites. If the site you want is in the list it will be blocked. Delete that line and resave the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy Posted May 15, 2011 Share #13 Posted May 15, 2011 Do it this way in internet explorer, hit tools, [upper left corner with menu showing], then internet opititions, security,highlight restricted sites, hit sites, find and highlight the one on the list that that you want off, hit remove. this will allow you to get the site on ie, but keep in mind if spy-bot or malware bits put it there there must be a reason. I've gone to vistaprint.com and I don't get vistaprint.ca ???? don't .ca show its a canada website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
