You tried using a different browser?

was using opera before, but that was pants. every time i tried to view a youtube video, it told me i needed the latest version of flash player, even though i had it. IE is useless. it could be my anti-virus being a dick.

Tel your anti virus is being a dick. No-one else has reported a 404 problem in weeks. Try a system reboot, see if that helps?

I have no problem using safari, or there is google chrome which is usually pretty reliable. May be worth installing one of them and see if you still get the same problem.

 

[Paul.M]

Google chrome is not bad Tel as above.

 

[telectrix]

i'm using chrome. but have recently installed AVG. think that may be causing the problem. as a complete IT thicko, is it easily resolved without dumping AVG?

 

[Plonker 3]

How many anti virus programmes do you have installed? Could be you have 2 firewalls switched on too.

 

[telectrix]

just avg.

 

[Plonker 3]

Check you settings and see if you have a firewall switched on in AVG, as there should be one installed on your PC anyway.

 

[telectrix]

what settings? remember you got a IT dinosaur here. it switches on, gets emails, sends out invoices, and gets me here. that's the limit of my computer skills.

try firefox then

I used to have Firefox then dumped it.

Recently I decided to download & install it again but ended up with PaleMoon instead which I have had problems with.

Is Firefox -as was - still available? Thank you.

Hi Tel, I've moved your thread to keep all forum technical issues in the same place.

I'm not sure what's causing the 404 errors but if you just installed AVG and it started happening then maybe uninstall AVG and see if it stops. I haven't seen any other posts about similar problems yet so I'd say it's a good bet it's something on your local PC.
