If you having trouble accessing Web pages with NetZero HiSpeed, there are several steps to try to troubleshoot the issue:

* = If applicable

A. Restore your default browser settings (Internet Explorer users)

Sometimes your browser settings may have been altered, preventing pages from appearing correctly. Setting your browser settings to their default may fix this problem.

Internet Explorer 7.x:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Click the Reset all Defaults button under Internet Explorer Default Settings section.
5. Click Reset all Defaults again in the Internet Explorer Default Settings window.
   Note: Click OK in the Internet Explorer window suggesting you to close all the open windows or programs. Please make sure that you save all your work in the other programs and close them before you attempt to reset your default settings.
6. Click Close.
7. Click OK and restart your Internet Explorer for the changes to be applicable.

Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Click the Restore Defaults button
5. Click OK.

B. Adjust your firewall settings

In order to successfully connect to NetZero HiSpeed, you will need to change the Internet security setting of your firewall program to a setting that is compatible with any dial-up ISP such as NetZero, usually Medium.

Occasionally, after the initial installation of the NetZero software, you may receive a notice that exec, x1exec or ZCast is trying to logon to the Internet. If you see this message, please ensure that you click Yes to allow the NetZero software access to the Internet. If you don't allow access, our software will be unable to function properly.

C. Change your firewall settings to allow 'exec', 'x1exec' and 'Zcast' to access the Internet

When you log on to NetZero for the first time with a firewall program installed, the program may ask if you want to allow exec, x1exec or Zcast to connect to the Internet. exec.exe, x1exec.exe and Zcast.exe are the internal names of the NetZero HiSpeed program, and must be given access privileges in order to work correctly. If you accidentally chose to prevent exec, x1exec or Zcast from accessing the Internet, you will likely get NetZero HiSpeed Unavailable errors when trying to get online.

To fix this, you will need to change your firewall's setting to allow exec, x1exec and Zcast to access the Internet.

Note: If you have multiple firewalls installed on your computer, you will need to allow exec, x1exec.exe and Zcast.exe to access the Internet on all the firewalls installed.
