cleaning dns cache does not work windows 7

I have a domain example.com, I changed the name servers from cpanel, but opening it still opens the website with old DNS. I know that the problem is from my PC, cause from others the website works just fine.

What I have tried

1) Close all the browsers,

Run cmd as admin and type ipconfig /flushdns, which actually outputs the success message

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

Clear the browsers' entire cache and then restarting the computer

2) Resetting the WiFI modem

I use Windows 7

Thanks

Check your hosts file if there are any entries that shouldn't be there.

Location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (the actual file is called hosts)

Use ipconfig /flushdns followed by ipconfig /registerdns

EDIT: Problem solved by itself. It just takes some time for the DNS changes to propagate to every ISP.
