Does anyone else have almost no other sites working apart from two known ones - Stardock Forums and Sourceforge.net?

A lot of web-sites don't seem to be working on my computer, yet Stardock is, and so is Sourceforge.net (although in a more limited format).  Is there any type of problem that can cause most web-sites to be uncontactable but not all?

Change in Browser security settings...;)

Or I guess one of the options in Wise Registry Cleaner could have affected it, but it's strange that some sites are still loading up, and that it didn't start immediately after changing those option in WRC.  I'm using Pale Moon 8.0 Portable, however Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 (I think, the latest version) is having the same problems.

Correct. I can't think of another except a Flash problem (but then you'd get to a site, just not see it properly).

Have you altered your system or browser security settings recently?

You can certainly avail yourself of WRC's Tech Support... it's free and If you're having a problem getting to them, pm me the details and I will be the relay for you.

You can undo the changes and see if that fixes the problem...

Did the problems started after a restart of your computer ... Just thinking if the settings have changed because of Wise, it might not of kicked in until you restarted windows? ... The program has a system default button!

In the second tab of the program, I changed nothing. Try restoring to the prior state, and use this option to exclude your browsers:

What is "add keyword" button?
This is a very useful feature to improve security, if after you run WRC, some applications can not run, you can restore your registry by WRC and add the application's name to the exclusion list, then all entries that refer to the application will be ignored. For example: your "Thunder bird" can not work after run WRC, you can undo the cleanup by WRC, then add "Thunder bird" to the exclusion list, all entries that refer to "Thunder bird" will be ignored when you next time to run WRC.

I turned the computer and the router off without changing any settings, after 5-10 minutes I restarted the computer and I appear to be able to visit web-sites again.  I'll let you guys know if whether it's an intermittent problem or whether it's been overcome.

Well, it was the internet connection that wasn't working, because IE9 was having the same problems with connection.
