Whenever I try to watch video's on Fox News website, it wont load the video in the new window when it opens. When I click on the bottom of the screen, it shows that the cookies from this site is being blocked, the sight being doubleclick.net. I have added that sight as an allowed site, but it still blocks them. I have unchecked that site in all my spyware/adware blocking programs, etc., still no dice. In fact, I have went so far as to turnoff EVERYTHING....all spyware/adware blocking programs, Norton Internet security, set IE privacy to the lowest setting to allow everything............STILL shows the site being blocked. I had this problem once before, and managed to get the video to view, but whatever I did didnt last, and now I cant get it to allow it again.

I am running Windows XP, IE 7.0, Norton Internet Security 2006, SpywareBlaster, and Spybot.

Here is he video page...

Did you have Spybot load its list of "bad sites" into your hosts list?

Not sure if I follow you right.... but I havent have Spybot load anything other than normal updates, and scans.

Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ and open the file called "hosts", then search for doubleclick.net in there. Do you see it?

Can you be more specific... why can't you open it? What error does it give you? Does it not show up??

The file itself is there, but when I click on it, it asks me what program I want to use to open the file. When I right click on it and go to properties, its doesnt give a file extension, it just says "file".

It should give you the option to select a program to open it, use notepad or Wordpad.

Dont feel bad.  I have script block installed and I temporarily allowed some scripts through and I still couldnt see it.  Sorry, but if they are gonna pile the junk on their site, it aint worth it.  It seemed to have a tracker and ads on the site that I didnt allow...
