Babs, have you opened the HOSTS file? It is without an
extension.
The default MS HOSTS file contains one entry for 127.0.0.1
localhost on
every windows computer, but actually this address is the
same for all
computers regardless of the OS.
So a corrupted or otherwise altered HOSTS file would contain
other
entries which would prevent any html enabled application
from viewing
content at those addresses. So in my HOSTS file I have an
entry for
127.0.0.1 adservices.google.com which prevents all content
at that
address from being viewed in my email or browsers.
See this page for more detailed information on the HOSTS
file
