I've reinstalled my windows XP profesional OS and now i am unable to view adsense in my browsers. I am quite sure that my OS (not firewall or javascript disabled) is blocking it. Does you know how to fix this or even a tutorial explaining how to do?
thats kinda like saying my car runs slower because i used the wrong car wax.... dude theres no way the os is blocking adsense. idiot
When you reinstall it, everything should be set to default so the ads should show up because the javascript isn't switched off on default.
ah, kids these days! No respect. I think the same happened once to someone here, it was some options on IE that you need to change. Install FireFox and if the problem presist post back. Peace,
WOW that's nice that the OS is blocking the adsense. You will never ever click your own ads by mistake.
Hi guys, Many thanks for all replies. I tested in my browsers => IE, FFox,Opera and Mozilla. The ads don't show up in my PC. The problem came from a Windows HOST file located at: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts containing a list of hosts redirect to localhost, and google host was there. I commented (#) the lines below the heading: # [Google Inc] on that file and problem was solved.
Interesting. Had you ever added/changed that file? Some sites provide downloads of the hosts file with many ads/etc blocked. I run windows XP Pro SP2 and have never had a problem with google in my hosts file.
Yeahhhh! I asked here and someone download a new host file. Well, I hope that this thread can be useful for someone.
hey do you know you cannot open adsense site from Windows 98 you need to have Windows XP only to open it I had the same problem when I used win 98 then 1 of my friend told me about the problem and then I switched to Windows Xp
