Trouble:
A friend of mine called me up saying that Gmail is not opening on her computer. I asked her to check the hosts file , she did the same but did not find anything wrong there. I asked her to clear the cookies and try opening Gmail in HTML mode, but of no use.

Her PC is infected by some trojan which is causing this erratic behavior by preventing Gmail from opening in Standard as well as HTML mode. She needed to urgently access Gmail account for sending some important documents to her university.
Then an idea clicked me and it worked, well it was not a permanent solution, but a temporary solution that helped her send the email.
Fix:
Well, the solution is pretty simple, I asked her to open the mobile edition of Gmail by using address m.gmail.com instead of www.gmail.com which is full desktop version. And it worked for her, she was able to access her inbox and compose a mail and send it. There is also an option to search mails using mobile version. See a sample screen-shot of mobile version of Gmail in Google Chrome Web Browser (click to enlarge).
But this is only an emergency solution. The permanent solution will be to keep your computer free from viruses using these tips. And if you have got any infection, try this tool to clean it.

Good thinking to use the mobile version of gmail for temporary use as a workaround for that specific problem your friend had.
The screenshot of Google mobile on chrome you’ve given looks exactly the same as google mobile on my firefox. Just kidding.

gmail login failed continuously since 8.30 pm on 25 September 2009
Hey
I have been experiencing unusual problems for the last few days. All of the sudden I am not able to open Gmail or facebook in any of the browsers I have ( Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari). The Gmail sign in page also does not open and for facebook the sign in page opens but does not go further. Whats more I am able to login to skype but not to GTalk .
It happens completely arbitrarily at random times. This has happened a few times and after some time ( which could be a few days) it is automatically solved.
There is another catch. I am able to open and check my mails by using web proxy sites. Here I am able to open it as usual.
Can someone suggest what could be wrong.
Thank You
it not work on the proxy system
when it is blocked by system admin
