Internet Won't Work
Mar 23, 2008the computer connects to the Internet through a router that is connected to a cable modem through "ISP A". Now after the system is ready to go, the user takes it home, and they hook it up directly to their DSL modem through "ISP B", and the Internet won't work once the computer is home. What normally would be the settings I need to check provided all connections are good?

Apr 9, 2008To give a link (like "http://...") as a command line does not work anymore. Actually it was a standard since Win 98 and now Windows Vista displays the message "Application not found." My question: How to open link in Windows Vista using a command line? Should one use a new command like prefix like "mailto:"? These feature from Windows was really very practice for the developers. I link could be opened without being necessary to search for the default browser, an so on. Does anybody know how it can be done now?

Jan 20, 2009How do I customise the Firefox 3 Browser to open each time as per Screenshot 3? At Screenshot 1: When I was using Internet Explorer 7 as my main Browser, I was able to customise the opening page so that it was 'clean' of all the 'flotsam and jetsam' rubbish that I had no interest in. My Customised Page in IE7 looked like this; screenshot 1:
At Screenshot 2: Now when I open Firefox 3, this is what I get........a page of 'stuff' that I neither need. nor want; Screenshot 2: At Screenshot 3:I have managed to customise and clean up the FF3 page as at Screen-shot 3 below,and it remains like this each time I open the Browser while I stay in session, however, if I log off or close and shut-down, it reverts to display like Screenshot 2, the next time I open up the FF3 Browser.
Screenshot 3: To keep my FF3 Browser opening page 'clean' as in the above Screenshot, what settings should I apply, to make it appear this way each time I open the Browser.
Internet Explorer 7 Can't Work
Aug 10, 2008I have two machines running Vista Home Premium x64. but use 32bit IE. I am having trouble with one machine when opening IE that it always comes up in full screen mode and you cannot see the tool bar on the bottom. How can I change the setting so that when it comes up it is not full screen. I always have to either go into tools and uncheck it or launch another screen to get the tool bar on the bottom to come up.

Jun 17, 2008I wonder if anyone could advise whether the following updates would affect my internet connection:? Update for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter [June 2008] (KB905866)Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.35.347.0)Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - June 2008 (KB890830) Security Update for Windows Vista (KB951376) Security Update for Windows Vista (KB950762) Update for Windows Vista (KB947562) Security Update for Windows Vista (KB951698) Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB950126)
I downloaded these yesterday and I have had problems with my wired modem and Netgear router today. I keep losing the internet connection. I've spoken to my ISP and Netgear. Netgear says that the modem keeps dropping the connection but my ISP says there are no problems at their end. It just seems odd that everything was working fine before I allowed these updates.

Internet Plug-ins Dont Work
Mar 10, 2009I can't track down the exact thing that changed, but many of my internet plug-ins (QuickTime, Silverlight, Air) won't work properly. I will install the plug-in, then when I go to a site that requires it, it says it's not installed, despite clearly being the Program registry.
When I use QuickTime, I can go to various sites that have QT movies and they load fine, but if I go to Apple.com, it says I need to grab the newest QuickTime. Silverlight apps won't load at all. Any time I go to Adobe's marketplace for AIR apps, despite having one running, it says that I need to install Air. This is in both IE7 and Firefox.
Do Internet Tweak Programs Work?
Mar 23, 2008Do "tweak" programs which are supposed to help with Internet connection speeds and overall throughput really help? I'm currently using a cable modem setup in a home office situation. There are a lot of times where the throughput slows considerably and I've often wondered if one of these tweak programs would be helpful.I decided to experiment a little with Tweak VI, but honestly couldn't tell whether or not it was helping. (If so, not much, in my humble opinion.)I'm wondering if other Vista users out there have been able to find various third-party tweak programs helpful?

View 9 Replies View RelatedInternet Works, Browsers Dont Work
Jul 4, 2009I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic, and randomly my internet browsers just totally stop trying to connect and just spit out error messages, but everything else still works (usually). MSN, Steam, my antivirus updates on time, everything that isn't HTTP pretty much. The internet browsers will last anywhere from 5 minutes to 24 hours before keeling over. I've done a pretty thorough Google search on this and I'm at least not alone, but in another sense I am...
A lot of people have said "oh I disabled/uninstalled ZoneAlarm or Bitdefender or so and so a program and it worked" but I don't run those. Never have had ZA or anything on my computer. The only program I have in common with the most common ones is Spybot S&D, and I disabled that on startup and sure enough, didn't work. I do not have any Vista service packs, I don't think. Nothing explicitly called that anyway. I have a bunch of updates that I installed when I got the computer, so I can't uninstall SP1 to fix it since I don't think I even have it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedNetwork Failure: Get Firefox Or Internet Explorer To Work
Dec 13, 2009Every morning I wake up, I have to re-start my computer in order to get Firefox or Internet explorer to work. Have tried all below with both wired and wireless connection. All other functions, icons and various do-dads work, just connecting. If I happen to pass out and forget to logout of either Mozilla or IE, the screen I was on stays up but when I hit re-fresh(IE) or reload (mozilla) the problem pops up.
1. Wake up and touch mouse, desktop comes up, no problem
2. Check network connection, all seems good. Network icon shows full connection, you see the globe symbol, all good.
3. Try to access either Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox.
4. I.E. says it cannot connect and Mozilla says, well it says nothing at all except for "done" in bottom left corner of screen, but leaves a blank screen.
5. Have checked my power settings, and have made sure that both plugged in and on battery that the computer is not set to sleep. Never sleep............
Antivirus Program: Internet Explorer Refuses To Work
Aug 20, 2008So I accidentally downloaded an antivirus program that is really a virus. It really sucks. Internet explorer refuses to work. Task manager has been disabled by the administrator. Any program that operates under windows explorer fails to run properly. This makes it very difficult to use the computer. What exactly is wrong? Do I need to repair the registry? What if I did not make a backup?
View 8 Replies View RelatedMedia Player Internet Station No Work Perperly
Apr 9, 2008I started listening to an MSN radio station using media player since early last year. I would go to the MSN site, choose the genre, choose the station and it would automatically open and begin to play in the media player. I eventually put a shortcut to my preferred station on my desktop.
About 2-3 months ago things changed. Instead of the media player opening up and playing the selected station immediately, it started downloaded a file (the station's?) before it would begin playback. All audio that opens in the media player (from MSN's music sites) will not begin before the player downloads a file; it is not the music file itself. This is strange. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to uninstall the media player. I thought by installing it again it would work properly. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening? Is this a new change in the media player?
Update Nvidia Nforce Networking Controlle Caused Internet To Not Work Properly
Mar 23, 2008The Windows Update for the "nvidia nforce networking controller" caused my internet to not work properly. I restored my system and rolled back the driver, both on separate occasions to resolve this issue. It worked, however, now I need to know what to do about the update. I cannot leave my settings to update automatically because of this.

Apr 1, 2008After fighting to get rid of a Trojan horse virus, I am missing the internet browser. E-mail works OK. Clicking 'Internet' icon gets me the message 'Internet Explorer has stopped working:". I tried 'restore' but it is not working either. I get the message 'an unspecified error occurred during system restore'. I scanned with AVG and the files it scanned are clean. I have a 'restore' DVD made by the computer vendor but when I stick it in the CD drive nothing happens. The computer is a 1 year old ACER with VISTA home premium preinstalled. How do I proceed from here? I have no idea what to do.

Drivers For IPX To Work On Vista, Didn't Work
Jul 1, 2008I have been wracking my brain for weeks now, trying to play C&C First Decade with Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge over the LAN, it will only run on IPX networking which I could setup with 2x XP machines, I have Vista Ultimate on my PC, and XP on another, I found some drivers for IPX to work on Vista, didn't work ... So I loaded Hamachi which had built-in IPX support. Now when I open RA2, it no longer says IPX unavailable, it shows 00 00 00...
So it can see my Hamachi adapter with IPX support, great! The other XP machine has Hamachi installed, and they are both VPN'd (Connected) on the same Hamachi Network. They don't see each other... The XP machine shows a few IPX networks, I have tried switching to them all, even put the Hamachi adapter and the LAN adapter to the top of the preferred networks list. This was sort-of a breeze with both XP, but with Vista it's looking to be a bit tricky. I have no firewalls running on either machine and I am pretty cluey when it comes to networking (TCP/IP that is).

1) Without any reason software suddently doesn't work.
a) I installed a Antivirussoftware - after 3 Weeks it suddently didn't work any more (Kaspersky) I couldn't reinstall it.
b) I installed a new Antivirussoftware - after 5 days it didn't work anymore.
c) 4 days later I started to get errormessages "Windows Defender doesn't work any more" - "Windows Hostprocess doesn't work anymore"

View 5 Replies View RelatedLag Is It Internet?
Oct 18, 2008I have seen a couple posting about lag and gaming and I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here goes. The threads and posts I have seen so far deal with Vista and Wireless lag issues. I use a wired cable internet connection. I get this cyclical lag every 20-25 seconds or so. It happened when I had a DSL connection as well. It's either a setting or the net but I wouldn't expect the net to produce cyclical lag, just lag as it occurs. I'm on an AMD 6000+ 3.0 Ghz cpu with ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI, GbLAN mobo. I have 4 GB Kingston HyperX RAM and a 9800 GTX+ graphics card. I don't think its the hardware. the cabel connection I know have is 8 down 2 up guaranteed and actually gets from 12-16 down and 3.5 up so the speed and bandwidth are there. To give you an idea I will go from a FPS of 128 (nice and smooth gameplay) to a jaw dropping 5 or 6. Please help!!! Any ideas would be appreciated. The game is a peer to peer first shooter called Warrock. I know this means lag can be totally from the other poeple but I still don't thik it would be that cyclical.

Nov 20, 2008I'm having the weirdest problem with my internet at the moment. I typically use Internet Explorer and it runs fine and I can access websites etc. However after a given time period (maybe 30mins), it stops connecting me to webpages and just does this "forever loading" thing. I thought it may have been a software issue so I installed Google's Chrome but that does exactly the same thing.
I don't think its a problem with the router/modem because I still have the problem even if I restart that. Same if I repair my network connection. I've tried deactivating firewalls and antivirus software but to no avail. The only way I've managed to overcome the problem is if I restart my computer and obviously restarting my computer every 30mins is less than ideal.

View 6 Replies View RelatedPing But No Internet
Sep 23, 2009I was using my computer fine at first but decided to restart since I've had it on for 100 hours without a real shutdown (I was using hibernate). When I rebooted I was unable to access the internet using any programs such as IE, ff, msn, etc.. but I was still able to ping Google and get a <100ms response.
What happens when I open IE for example is that it simply says that it cannot connect to the internet. When I close it I get "Internet Explorer is not responding" twice in succession. I then get a warning telling me that it was blocked by DEP. So I disabled DEP and restarted but I still had the same problem just without the DEP warning.
This is very annoying because this is on my uni laptop and I need to use these programs almost daily in and out of class, so reinstalling is a last resort option. I'm currently running a previously installed version of Ubuntu on the same machine with no problems with the internet so I can eliminate any possibilities of it being a hardware problem.

Nov 11, 2009A freind of mine is having a few problems with her laptop..
She has a link in the start menu that says (internet explorer 64 bit)
This is what she clicks to go on the internet, Now when she visits or clicks on links, she will sometimes get a message that she needs to install flash player.
She already has the latest flash player installed, but apparently this does not work on this "internet explorer 64 bit"
I diden't even know there was a 64 bit internet explorer.
And it goes on to say something like flash player is for 32 bit browsers, for flash player to work on 64 bit browsers search online for help, or it directs you to microsoft help and support.
I don't really like to go messing around on someone elses laptop
so i thought i would just ask to see if there is one thing i could follow to fix this problem..
Internet Keeps Cutting Out
Oct 1, 2009just got a new computer HP pavilion p6142p and it is connected to the internet by an encore electronics 802.11g wireless usb adapter to a dynex router which is hardwired to a linksys modem. my new computer, of course, has vista HPx64 and this is the last thing that i've had to beat into shape.....gotten all the other junk that i hate about vista ironed out, but i am still having problems with the internet. ISP is comcast (ugh, i know) cable.
my husbands two macs are not affected by the internet trouble, so i know it's something on my end. though, his computers are hardwired into the router. mine will just disconnect whenever it feels like it. i did notice that the microwave was shutting it off, so i changed the channel on the router to 6. it seems to help a bit, but just now while typing this, it's gone a couple of times... no microwaves or anything then. my neighborhood is under some heavy road construction now and i was wondering if anything they might be using could affect my adapter getting its signal.
Cannot Download From The Internet
Mar 8, 2010I have read many persons posts, but none have been quite the same as mine. With many tips, but no further explanations for the questions I have. I have a DELL Ispiron with Vista Home Basic 32bit and I use Internet Explorer. I am able to download absolutely nothing from the internet. I have a feeling it has something to do with the incorrect installation of AVG. A week ago, I wanted to try a different sercurity program, while keeping AVG. I downloaded Online Armour from cnet.com and after a couple of days uninstalled because I didnt like it. I figured I would just update AVG 8 to AVG 9, so I went to AVG Free - Download installation files & documentation, I think I should have downloaded the recommended installation, but instead I selected "intallation files" and selected one of those options. Now it list in my program files AVG 8 and AVG 9. In my programs, selected Windows Start>Programs, it list AVG 8.5. Now I read somewhere, a person with practically the same problem, that I could uninstall and then reinstall AVG and the problem could possibly be fixed. Also if problem persisted to try uninstalling AVG while in Safe Mode. I could do neither. Under program files AVG 8, selected Windows Start>Computer>Hard drive(C)>Program Files>AVG>AVG 8>setup, has a setup option. But when selected reads, setup window:Installation failed. Then selected Details reads, setup window:Installer initialization failed due to following error: Error: @AvgErrorCode_0x0253 %FILE% = "C:Program FilesAVGAVG8" @AvgErrorCode_0x0020
Under program files AVG 9, selected Windows Start>Computer>Hard drive(C)>Program Files>AVG>AVG 9, has no setup option, I assume I did not install the correct file, my mistake. Under my programs, selected Windows Start>All Programs>AVG Free 8.5>Unistall AVG Free, it list AVG 8.5 and when I try to uninstall the the same error occurs. I dont know if this is the reasoning for my issue but this is when the problem started. However I would still like to know how to remove AVG as well as the initial "fix." If this possible, should I delete the AVG program files one by one, just by right clicking on them and deleting? I also tried to run a System Restore thinking it would go back to a previous date before I changed anything, but the earliest date I could choose from was not soon enough. It did nothing except remove some updates and a toolbar that had been installed. Also, I am unable to install updates, I assume its because they use the internet to do so, idk.
