Hello,
Yesterday, when I tried to use the Google seach engine, the message
"Error...forbidden (as shown below) appeared. I have tried dowloading
the google task bar but I still come back to the same message. I
can't use google! Something has been changed in my settings, I
suppose.
Can someone help me to rectify the problem?

Thanks,
Del

Of all of the newsgroups on Usenet, why did you choose comp.lang.c++
to ask this question?

Please accept my apologies. I am new to Google Groups and realise
that I have, as you are suggesting, posted my question on the wrong
site. Again, apologies. I have posted the question on a computer
support site.

But since you posted it, look in control panel->internet
options->connecitons->lan settings - make sure you dont have a proxy server
clicked, basically turn off all the check boxes. Itll probably work, if not,
try asking in one of the microsoft newsgroups.
