Webites thinks my computer is a phone

When I try to go to NBC.com it redirects me to the mobile site m.nbc.com. How
do I get around this?

Had the same situation with Ebay. To get around this with ebay I linked in
through another site. Once I did this the eBay website functioned normally.
Tried this with NBC but it did not work.

Please help!!

How does the machine (wirelessly) connect to the internet?

It does not connect wirelessly. The computer is hard wired straight to a
router.

Well, thats stupid! :-)

Thanks for the help! It worked. BTW I dont have a tablet PC. I have custom
built desktop. I wonder if it is because of MS One Note? The free style pen
function is enabled. Seem to remember NBC.com working before installing
ON2007.

Thanks again!
Robert

I expect that is indeed the reason, Robert. Thanks for adding to our own
li'l knowledge base here with your reply!

YW & thanks very much for your feedback.

Hello, I have the same problem, not with nbc.com, but with ebay.com and blackberry.com, both come up as mobile pages. I followed the recommended solution by going to regedit, but there is no Tablet PC 2.0 in that area of my registry, so there was nothing to delete. Does anyone have any suggestions? I cleaned my IE files and my registry, did not fix the problem. I have a Windows Vista 64-bit OS, completely up to date with updates. Thank you, Josh
