When I go into hosts i have to view it as a word file and I'm afraid to save it because it says it is not a text file. Am I suppose to access this file using word or as a note pad? I found something after 127.0.0.1. How am I to go about deleting it and saveing the file the right way.

Thanks for the help and please reply..

Use notepad to open it.

you can do this by right clickng on the file and clicking "open With"

Once in notepad, remove everything after the 127.0.0.0 localhost line and then save the file.

Please let me know if this helps.
