Question
OK heres my problem...my children. I have no idea what my 12 year old son did to my computer but many of the website I try to go to it is giving me "The page cannot be displayed" I know the page can be displayed because I can be on the phone with somebody who is. This has been going on for like two weeks. It seems to only give me that error on secured site like the government websites and the edischarge site which allows me to log in & review my patients information while at any location. HELP please I should be working from home today but I can access anything I need!!!

Answer
First thought, a browser issue.

If you're using IE, check your add-ons. Don't know how familiar you are with them, but you may be able to recognize one that's not needed/welcome and disable it.

If another browser, please let me know which one.  

Could be lots of other things related to your firewall, anti-viru/spyware settings. Which ones are you using?
