The social network VKontakte is more popular today than ever. That is why every registered user tries to make their stay there as comfortable and productive as possible. It’s no secret that on this social network you can watch films, video clips, listen to music, not to mention directly communicate. However, sometimes it happens when glitches occur during playback of musical compositions and it also starts. I propose to talk about the reasons why the Yandex browser does not play music in Contact in this article.
What to do if the VKontakte page does not open?
HOSTS file
The most common problem is the vulnerability of the system HOSTS file, which is responsible for converting domain names to IP addresses. Its vulnerability is due to the fact that it is constantly attacked by viruses. As a result of such attacks, additional entries (extra), “registered” non-existent addresses to domains are formed in the file.
To solve the problem you should:
Site blocking
Blocking the site by malware is the second reason why the VKontakte site does not open. To solve the problem, find the files vkontakte.exe or svc.exe and delete them.
Before starting the search, do not forget to check the boxes everywhere in the search parameters (in hidden files and system folders, etc.).
Domain vk.com
Sometimes some glitch prevents you from logging into your favorite social network, so just try logging into the site via the vk.com domain. Sometimes this method helps solve the problem.
Remember:
- What is not advisable, and one might even say contraindicated, is downloading special programs for VKontakte, for example, to view personal messages, private pages, etc. They often contain a virus that can lead to a computer crash and the inability to visit websites.
- Also remember that after each method to open access, you should restart your computer!
To summarize all of the above, I would also like to note that sometimes the site carries out technical work due to which it is impossible to visit the site. In this case, you need to wait some time. If you still can’t access the site, then most likely the problem is a virus.

When messages in the VK app on your phone aren't loading or updating, it can look like they're missing, erased, or simply won't load—no access. The dialogs are empty, or new messages do not arrive, the application only shows old ones. Messages are not opened, sent or received. “Update” and the loading icon are constantly displayed, but the dialogs never load. What to do?
A similar situation happens with comments - comments in the group do not open, comments on photos are not visible, and the like. Below are possible solutions to the problem.
Other reasons
If you are sure that everything is fine with your computer, but the desired site does not open, then you should check other possible causes of this problem.
1. Do you have an antivirus or firewall? Disable it for a while and try to access the page. If it helps, you should check your antivirus settings and find out why it blocked the site.
2. Check your network settings and Internet connection. For Windows 7: Start
->
“Control Panel”
->
“Network and Sharing Center”
. The parameters of the network adapter that is used to connect to the Internet must contain the correct settings for the IP address, mask, gateway, and especially DNS. Don't know the settings? Check with your provider.
3. Check the MTU value. This problem usually occurs among owners of Wi-Fi routers. To clarify the MTU parameter, enter the command “netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces”
.
If the value is incorrect, you can change it with the command “netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface “network connection name” mtu=xxxx store=persistent”
.
We hope we answered the question why the site in Contact, Odnoklassniki or any other does not open. We will be glad if the article helped and now the sites have begun to open. If you have questions, ask in the comments. That's all, read the site

Problems with displaying video content often confuse millions of users.
Often people cannot open the video for viewing and cannot find out the reason.
Therefore, this article will discuss important reasons and ways to resolve the problem that occurs in the Yandex browser when playing a video. So, this section will help you resolve this simple problem.
Flash player is a special program that works with important elements of the Yandex browser in order to display a specific video. By default, the software allows operation without any problems. But situations arise when users cannot play a video, for example, everyone knows the social network VK.
As a result of this, IT experts are divulging various reasons for blocking a particular video. For example, a system administrator, firewall, firewall, antivirus, etc. can block any video. Therefore, it is necessary to resolve the problem as soon as possible in order to turn on the video and watch a specific video.
Solution 1: Clear message cache
If your smartphone is on Android, you just need to clear the message cache in the VK application settings. Cache is temporary files. Correspondence that has already been downloaded is saved in the cache so that you don’t have to download conversations every time you open them. Sometimes there is a mess in these temporary files, and then the application freezes when you open messages. By clearing the cache, that is, by erasing temporary files, you kind of help the application create the cache again.
— Will all messages be deleted then?
- No, they won’t be deleted. Clearing the cache will force the application to download them again from the VK server where they are stored.
How to clear the message cache?
After that, try opening the messages again - they should load normally. If nothing changes, try the following solutions. There are three more of them later in our instructions.
Blocking by ISP
It is quite possible that it is the Internet service provider that is blocking this popular social network. This is, of course, rare and unlikely to happen, but it is still possible. Therefore, if nothing helps at all, you can contact your Internet provider and ask them if they block a site like vk.com for an hour. What to do if VK does not open from the computer in this case? Change the provider, if, of course, this can be done. It is also worth remembering that this option is a last resort, and almost no one blocks this site.
Solution 4: Restart your phone
Turn off your phone and turn it on again or use the reboot function if your phone has one. After the phone reboots, open the VK application and see if anything has changed in the messages section.
Hello dear users. If you are reading this article, it means my site is functioning normally and opens without problems. The same cannot be said about VK, because sometimes it is not possible to access it, photos and messages do not open. What to do in this case?
If the VKontakte site does not open
, then you should use the following recommendations.
https://vk.com
And we get an error message.
There can be two options here - either the Internet does not work, or there is a technical problem on the contact side.
To determine the reason, just try opening any other website. If it works, then we wait until VK technical support fixes the problems.
If not, then here you should check and revive your Internet connection.

! Some sites won't open in your browser? An epidemic of viruses that block access to resources has been raging on the Internet for a long time. Once this type of virus infects a computer, websites stop opening. Similar symptoms can appear in any browser: Opera, Firefox, Google Chrome, IE and others.
Basically, the two most popular social networks Odnoklassniki (odnoklassniki.ru)
and
VKontakte (www.vk.com)
. The blocking may also affect other sites, as well as the search engines Yandex and Google. Or your antivirus websites are not opening. What to do and how to open access to the site if the site does not open, and even downloading an antivirus is problematic?
We have already written a number of tips articles from which you can learn how or do similar things. This will certainly be useful to those visitors who have lost access to their profile due to a problem that requires SMS to unlock. But you may come across a virus that not only demands money, but completely blocks access to sites. Let's look at the reason why some sites do not open in your browser and how to get rid of it.
So, depending on the type of virus, sites do not open for several common reasons:
- Some sites do not open and are blocked in the hosts file.
- The site may be blocked by an antivirus.
- The virus blocks the browser itself.
- TCP/IP protocol parameters are damaged.
- The MTU parameter on the router is incorrect.
We will try to talk about all these points. As you can see, sites do not open for various reasons, so we will start with the most common ones.
Viruses and problems with the hosts file
Once again I remind you - you should not visit dubious sites, download and run suspicious files. There is an extremely high probability that your computer will get a virus (see). And you will begin to see interruptions in its operation. This may also affect the fact that sites on the network will no longer open and function. Including the VKontakte website.
If trouble has already happened, here's what you should do. First, check your system hosts file. You will find it here:
%system-disk%:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Open it with a notepad and make sure there are no extraneous entries. Below I will give you a standard version of the hosts file. You can just copy it.
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a “#” symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost
If these manipulations do not help open the social networking site, you should conduct a full scan of your PC for threats.
You will find all the necessary information regarding scanning and editing the hosts file in the manual -.
VKontakte messages and photos do not open
The last thing I would like to talk about.
Such a nuisance happens when you try to open a correspondence.
The same thing happens when you try to open a photo (see). Quite unpleasant.
But there is also good news. You don't need to do anything. Just wait a couple of minutes. Such errors appear extremely rarely, and are corrected very quickly. In my memory, the longest wait was about 15 minutes.
That's all. After this, all functions begin to work normally again.
Why the contact does not work (reasons)
One of the most common causes of problems with access to the VKontakte social network is a virus attack.
Its main goal is to steal money and passwords, which can also be sold and become significantly richer. So, if you find a file called vkontakte.exe or simply vkontakte on your computer, you should know that this is malicious code. Its main task is to modify the C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts file, which allows you to replace real social network pages with their exact copies. You open your browser, go to the VKontakte main page, enter your username and password, and easily give away all your personal data and codes to computer scammers.
Is there no mini-copy? Are they asking you to send an SMS to a four-digit number? Don't rush to grab your mobile phone! This is another trick of scammers.
Not even this? Is your web page simply not loading? Don't be surprised, it could also be a virus.
And one more reason is the banal reconstruction of the site, carried out by managers and specialists of the social network. In this case, all you can do is just wait for it to complete.
How to bypass blocking of VK, Yandex, Odnoklassniki and Mail.ru sites in the Opera browser (Opera VPN)
The Opera browser allows you to use a VPN by default. Next we will look at how to activate it.
Step #1 . Let's launch Opera. We follow the chain “Menu” – “Settings” – “Security” – “Enable VPN”.
Step #2 . Near the address bar you will see a VPN icon, where you can regulate access to blocked sites.
VKontakte does not work. What to do?! Ways to solve the problem
So, first you need to answer the question of WHAT was done BEFORE problems with the network arose.
This may well help resolve the problem. The easiest way to fight Internet scammers is to install an antivirus program. In the very first minutes of operation, it will detect and delete all malicious files contained on the computer.
For enthusiastic users, the instructions are slightly different.
In order to ensure a secure login to the VKontakte social network and maximally neutralize your personal computer from malware, you must:
- Open the file C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts using notepad.
- Go to “My Computer”, click on the “Local Disk C” icon, select the “WINDOWS” folder, then “system32”, then “drivers” and finally the “etc” folder, which contains the malicious hosts file , which you need to right-click and open with Notepad.
- Another way to “get” to the hosts file is through the computer explorer.
- Carefully read the records contained in the file. Have you found lines containing addresses of social networks vkontakte.ru, mail.ru or other sites? Remove immediately!
- Under no circumstances should you delete the uncommented line 127.0.0.1 localhost; all other lines starting with the # sign should be cleared.
- Enter vkontakte.exe in the search bar of Explorer and immediately delete the resulting file.
- Clear local disks and desktop of all dubious and incomprehensible add-ons. They could also cause a computer infection.
- Set the correct date and time depending on your location.
- Reinstall your computer, after which you will again be able to exchange information on social networks and messages by email.
- Just in case, you need to reinstall your antivirus program. This could be Kaspersky, Avast or Avira, or NOD 32 and others.
- Another useful tip is to install the COMODO firewall on your computer, if it is not included in the basic package of your existing antivirus program.
- A complete software update, as well as applications and web browsers, will not be superfluous. This will significantly reduce the risk of a repeat scam attack.
The browser is working, and the VKontakte social network is active again?
Congratulations, you did everything right. Don't want a repeat? In this case, you should consider a number of tips and rules:
- First, protect yourself and your loved ones from visiting suspicious sites. Avoid pages with a huge number of flickering images and advertising banners. As a rule, it is from such sites that the threat “flies” to computers.
- Secondly, do not rush to click on links provided in email messages. One click is enough for your PC to become infected.
- Thirdly, do not accept unknown files from unfamiliar users of ICQ, Skype or other similar services.
- Reduce your visits to “adult sites” to a minimum. This is where users most often come across, captivated by seductive banners or alluring advertising. No matter how stupid it may sound, love your other halves.
- Try to update the databases and signatures of antivirus programs as often as possible. This will significantly increase the level of protection of your personal computer from the predatory actions of fraudsters.
- Do you have IE web browser installed on your laptop or home computer? Get rid of it quickly! Download Google Chrome, opera or Internet Explorer as a last resort.
- Do not download third-party applications and add-ons from unknown sites. For free? So what? Remember, free cheese is only in a mousetrap!
- Completely replace your antivirus program and install a firewall. This will provide your computer with even greater protection.
As you know, the Windows operating system is one of the earliest and most widespread among the entire population of our planet.
Only one conclusion can be drawn from this - hackers and computer scammers have been working with it for a very long time! Their main task is to find all possible ways to hack it and invade the privacy of users. Every day, talented programmers write more than a hundred programs that allow them to steal the personal data of Internet users and earn a huge fortune from it. Almost none of the modern websites or antivirus programs can provide 100% control and protection against the intrusion of malware into the lives of civilian users. All this suggests that most active Internet users will simply have to abandon the Windows system and switch to a less popular one - Unix, for example. However, the “power” of scammers is gaining momentum every day, and it is almost impossible to guarantee that the Unix operating system will last much longer than Bill Gates’ development. Inexperienced users should start by installing Mandriva Linux, Kubuntu Linux or SUSE Linux on their computer. They are less susceptible to viruses, stable and in no way inferior to Windows in design. If you are an experienced user, are not afraid of difficulties and are ready to tinker a little with the console, Arch Linux, an accessible and at the same time improved operating system, is ideal for you.
If you have tried all of the above methods, and access to VKontakte is still blocked, we advise you
to reinstall the operating system
. This is also very easy to do.
Windows
operating system :
Before starting the installation, please note that when updating the operating system version, all programs and drivers will need to be reinstalled again. So, the first thing you need to do is copy the necessary files to external media. Then download drivers from the Internet or use the DriverMax program, which copies all programs available on the computer.
So, let's get started with the actual installation!
- We go into the BIOS and select DVD-ROM as the first boot device. To get into the BIOS, you need to press the F2 key at the start screen and select the “Boot” submenu. Set priority to CD/DVD and save by pressing the F10 key.
- During boot, a message will appear on the screen: “Press any key to boot from CD”, which can be answered by pressing any key.
- Then we will mark the hard drives and select the one into which you want to install the operating system. As a rule, disks are divided into 2 partitions: the first is for storing the system itself and programs, the second is for storing personal files (movies, music, etc.).
- Use the D key to delete all previously created partitions, and use the C key to create a new one with a size of 100,000 MB.
- We reselect the unallocated area and create a new partition equal in volume to the remaining space.
- Select drive “C” and click “Format partition using NTFS”.
- After some time, copying files will end and the system will require you to enter a key, as well as specify the time, date and location. Each user can enter this data independently.
- Once the operating system installation is complete, enter the account name.
- The system is almost ready for use. All that remains is to install all the necessary programs and drivers.
Have you completed all the steps according to the step-by-step instructions provided? Is your operating system updated and ready to go? Don’t rush to open your web browser and start surfing the World Wide Web! First of all, download an antivirus program. Note! This must be done exclusively on the official websites of the software, otherwise you risk “earning” a new virus and repeating the entire procedure again, which probably took you a lot of time. installed? Check for software and signature updates! Is your security program up to date? Congratulations! You can safely click on the web browser icon and type the address of your favorite social network - vk.com - into the search bar. Everything is working? How not?! Really, none of the tips presented helped you restore stable functioning of VKontakte? Wait, are you on a social network from your personal or work computer? The answer to this question is no less important.
The thing is that many businessmen or private entrepreneurs have long established a ban on the use of social networks VKontakte, Facebook, Twitter and others in their offices. Perhaps the purpose of the innovation is obvious - saving employees time and increasing their ability to work, which is, of course, important for every boss. If the reason for the lack of access to social networks is due to this, only senior management can help you and only if it is susceptible to the influence of employees. Unfortunately, there are no other ways to counter this. Apparently, you will have to come to terms with splendid loneliness and an abundance of work activity during working hours. However, there is still a way out - a mobile phone! Indeed, if it is not possible to correspond with friends and exchange useful information with them via a personal computer, you can use almost any portable device that has Internet access. Of course, this is not a computer for you: it is significantly inferior in quality and size, and the Internet is inferior in speed, but this is the only option to always be in touch.
So, let's summarize a little.
Can't log into the VKontakte social network? The solution to your problem has long been found! All you need is to carefully study all the information presented on our website and try it on your personal computer. You can be sure that at least one of the described troubleshooting methods will help you 100%! Find out, study, act - this is the secret of success! The functioning of your computer, and in particular social networks, now depends only on you;)
If you still have questions about why “Contact” does not work, then you can ask your question in the comments to this article, or contact our specialists for help, who will help you understand any computer problems that they can arise for you.
A short article in which I want to say a few words about problems with applications in VK
. Sometimes they stop working. What to do in this case?
Why don't VK apps work?
The first thing you need to do is determine whether a specific application has crashed, or whether all the ones you are trying to run are not functioning. If we are talking about everyone, then the problem is on the VK side. As a rule, they are resolved very quickly. It is enough to wait a while (see). Here are a few more recommendations that would be a good idea to follow.
- Check your computer for viruses
- Update Flash player
- Try running the application in a different browser
If these steps do not result in the application starting, it may be due to an outdated browser cache. VKontakte technical support (see), first of all, advises cleaning it if problems occur.
In all browsers this is done through the main menu. Let's take Mozilla Firefox as an example.
Clearing the cache in Mozilla Firefox
Click on the button “Advanced options”. In the menu that opens, click “Settings”
In the window that opens, go to the “Privacy” tab. And click the link “Delete your recent history”.
Select a time period and click the “Delete now” button.
After this, we check that applications on VK should launch normally.
