Anyone still running Windows 7?
in Software ·
I have a bit of a situation on my hands and could really use some insight. A friend of mine is having a nightmare trying to access YouTube; he keeps getting hit with a "404 Not Found" error every single time. My gut feeling is that there’s an entry in his hosts file blocking the site, so I figured the fix would be as simple as jumping into that file and stripping out the offending address. However, even after I went through the trouble of enabling the setting to show all hidden files, I can't seem to find the file anywhere. I've been digging through c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc, but it’s just not appearing where it ought to be, and I'm honestly at a loss as to why it's being so elusive. If anyone has a moment to help, I'd truly appreciate it—we're in a bit of a bind here!
