Hi Boredom,
Welcome to CH.
To begin with Put all your Internet settings on default.
And clear all cookies and history.

And also you could remove this thread with the same problem that you have put in Microsoft Windows,so that people are not helping you at two places for one problem.
Thanks and best of luck.

Also...clean IE temporary files out.
Also...if you use IE7, go Tools>Internet Settings>Advanced tab, click on "Reset" button.

boredom113 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 19, 2007, 01:54:13 PM »

i had been meaning to download ie7 so i just did it.....only now icant view any website....? it told me during the updates that it couldnt download everything so after restart i should go to tools>windows updates....but i cant even do that now...Got anything??

Broni · « **Reply #4 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:00:04 PM »

Computer info, please (OS, IE version...)
Did this just start to happen?
Any recent changes to software/hardware?

boredom113 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:04:15 PM »

Broni · « **Reply #6 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:11:40 PM »

Can you get to ANY site?

Broni · « **Reply #8 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:18:11 PM »

Get Firefox, and see if you can go somewhere...

boredom113 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:19:27 PM »

where/how do i get firefox?

Broni · « **Reply #10 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:32:00 PM »

I assume, you're using some other computer to communicate here. Does it have CD/DVD-RW drive?
Also, in that broken IE, go Tools>Internet Options>Security tab. What level is it set up to?

boredom113 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:37:53 PM »

yes i am using a different computer .....and it does have a CD/DVD-RW drive....also the security is set to Medium-High

Broni · « **Reply #12 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:42:49 PM »

Download Firefox from HERE
Burn it to CD, and use it to install Firefox on the other computer.

boredom113 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:54:23 PM »

i saved it to a flash drive installed it on my computer but it is saying it is unable to connect.......firefox cant establish a connection to the server at en-us.start2.mozila.com

Broni · « **Reply #14 on:** October 19, 2007, 03:55:28 PM »

Try to disable firewall for a time being...
Are these two computers networked?

tommy gusack · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2007, 10:43:26 AM »

must be connection problem, I have wireless at home but I am sharing and sometimes i am connected to the internet but I think I being firewalled or something.

boredom113 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2007, 10:04:34 PM »

Sry for the delayed responses......It is definetly not a connection problem because i can view some sites.....i uninstalled ie7 and internet started working again yet it is still not letting me view some sites....i uninstalled all antivirus software from my computer and alot of other stuff but still cant view some sites
Thanks

Broni · « **Reply #23 on:** October 29, 2007, 08:00:56 PM »

Can you be more elaborate with your answers?
You can't view any sites?
Any error displayed?

I don't want to cause an argument here, but Boredom already told you that.

What do you have set as your home page?
Is it the error, which Firefox displays when you try to connect to any web page?

boredom113 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 30, 2007, 10:30:05 AM »

it is always the same message except for where it says what im trying to view....

boredom113 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 02, 2007, 10:08:43 AM »

I'd like to see what do you have on that computer...
Install HijackThis:

and post its log at "Computer Viruses and Spyware" forum.
