The error reads "Cannot find server or DNS error." Sometimes it has Error Number 404 at the bottom of the screen.

Have you made any recent changes to your Hosts file, Windows services and/or changed your Internet service provider (ISP)? DNS servers are the Yellow Pages for the Internet. Usually, your ISP use their own DNS servers. Changes in either the Hosts file and/or ISP can result in a DNS error. You might also want to check which Windows services are running. Go to Start Menu > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services . Check to see if DHCP Client and DNS Client are both "Started" and "Automatic."
Most likely, your ISP might be experiencing problems. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to run a scan for spyware on your computer.

If you've never had this problem before, and you still have the same Internet Service Provider, it could be a problem with their DNS (domain name server).
