Hello,
What is the exact message?
Something about the host file?

Hello,
Please delete your old host file.
Where the hosts file is located depends on your Windows version.
Windows 2000/XP/NT: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
Windows 95/98: C:\windows\hosts
Then download a new host file from this site (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt).
Copy the whole text.
Then create a new txt file on your desktop and name it hosts without any extensions.
Then paste the text into it and store the file at the same place like mentioned above.
Best regards
