logdiva32 and aka_kim,
I am having the exact same problem too! I got my new home desktop computer late last week and was weary of Vista but had to get with the times. TE is the only website that I can't view. It just hangs in etherspace. Firefox is my default browser, but it nor IE can view TE. I have highspeed comcast with McAfee as my firewall. Used ZoneAlarm with Win 2000 before and no problems. Tried changing all the settings... still nothing... sniff sniff whimper whimper...
Are any of your new computers a Dell by any chance?

I have a gateway laptop. I took it back to circuit city today. They are restoring all the factory settings since I bought the display model and they did no do it at 1st as they should have. The tech mentioned that they install some restrictive scripts on the display models that should be removed before sale. So I hope that works.

I've got a Gateway too, but it wasn't a display model. I'm also running McAfee...

I think something's changed at TE. I have it set to remember me on both of my computers - work's Mac and my PC laptop. Recently, though, I have to log in each time I access the site, even though I've clicked the 'remember me' box when I log in. Whassup with that?

up and running. OK I am running TE with no problems now. Circuit city reset to all factory setting, removed all scripts and admin rights. So I am good.

That's good news, logdiva! Do you know the details of what CC did - what scripts they removed? - what the factory settings are? I already have admin rights.
