Well im running the latest version of firefox and IE7 as my web browswer and recently ive been having problems with both, for example whenever I goto the a website and click on the a different section, it says the page has failed to load and if I click refresh it loads normaly, and I also discovered most pictures wont load. The problem occurs mainly if im at a site like www.byond.com and switch to www.games.byond.com i get the page unable to load error and is easily fixed with a refresh. Its been happening for 2 days now nonstop and its really bothering me it always does it and never once loaded normaly so it cant be the site because it happens on numerous sites also. And with AIM instant messanger it says error unable to find conection then if I click login again, it goes normaly.

Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing the problem?

Thanks

Well, my first instinct is to check your host file. Search C:\Windows\ for a file with the name host or hosts. Open it with notepad, check it's contents. Next would be some possibly intermitent hardware or ISP failure. The hardware problem might even be a driver issue.
I had the same problems when I tried IE7 out, totally screwed up a ton of things (including link handling) it wouldn't let me do things properly unless I had IE set as my default browser. Going back to IE6 fixed the problem.
