Dude, it says it doesn’t exist. Your instructions don’t have slashes either but I did it the exact same way.
Also, when I open Windows->System32->Drivers->etc and open hosts in the notepad program, I make the change and save it but it says
“cannot create the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file
Make sure that the path and filename are correct”
I really need to block a site, and badly, without anyone figuring it out, so cmon answer ASAP.

Yes I did it that exact same way.
Same issue as my last message.
I don’t know, maybe Vista won’t allow it so I’m screwed.
