"In this clip we're going to show you how to respond to an error 404 messages while surfing the internet. I'm not employed by or affiliated with any of the websites or products demonstrated today. If you get a 404 message, one of the key things would be to make sure that you haven't made a mistake in entering the information in the address tab, so here I've incorrectly typed an e instead of an o, so instead of dot com, this is dot cem. So we're going to erase that, add the o back in where it was supposed to be, and then we're going to go over and click the continue tab and it brings us up to the actual site. Again on the 404 error, a lot of times if you just hit try again or reload, either one of these, oftentimes bring up a site that it does exist, but for some reason you're getting that message because the site has been overwhelmed. And those are some of the ways that you can respond to the error 404 message."
