I have a virus it seems to be a pretty bad one at that. I am unable to access my Google chrome browser but Luckily am able to use IE but If I try installing let's say AVG when I restart nothing works except MSN I can still chat to people. This all started when my Norton 360 ran out and I had to switch for a new antivirus.
View 4 RepliesThis is getting very desperate for me. My problem is i am unable to access websites using my IE7 web browser. Things i have tried so far, run malware and deleted the results, run CCCleaner and deleted the results, run Anti Virus - there does not seem to be a virus on the machine although it displayed a comment on the system toolbar that there was a w32.zaposhopping virus on machine.
I am able to ping my router and go beyond that by pinging an DNS server 4.2.2.2 with successfully results so i know that there is nothing wrong witheither. I have reset IE7 explorer, i have deleted all tmp files, cookies etc.
I am able to access Google BUT it seems no other sites - I am at my wits end as to what to do next. I am very experienced with computer and work in the industury but not come across anything like this before.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using Sophos for a number of years. I recently have not been able to get it to auto update. When I dug into it a bit, I found I couldn't access the update server from a web browser. In fact, I can't even reach the main Sophos site. I can't believe they are down. I can reach many other web sites I've tried, including this one. Could I have something messed up in my settings somewhere that would prevent access to this one web site? I am using Sophos 7.6.16 Antivirus as well as Sophos firewall 1.5.4 R2
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had to re-formal my hard drive due to some difficulties I have been having. When I restored my original OS I found that I had 2 Internet Explorer icons. I would like to be able to use the X32 bit version of IE as my default browser. How can I accomplish this? I have one game provider that runs only on X32 bit, and I would like to be able to download their games. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition X64 bit SP2.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have found over the past few days, via 'Yahoo answers' that more and more people are unable to access NBC.com. It also appears to be just affecting IE. I have ensured my OneCare anti-virus is up to date, downloaded installed and updated ad-aware, flushed dns, tried different dns servers, cleared all third party addons, tried IE in safe mode (or no addons mode), checked host file, ran system restore.. Going to the IP address for nbc.com (64.210.192.67) comes up with a page that simply says "It works!" Adding nbc.com to trusted sites makes browser cycle through a site via nbc.starcut.us before 'page can't be displayed'. Starcut.us (214.39.58.204) goes to an Apache test page. Firefox works fine.. will edit later if I come up with anything else
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am not sure if this is a Microsoft issue or laptop issue but i play an online game & there is a program that i can use which enables me to play it automatically, however in order to use this program it needs to connect to its webpage. This has been working fine til saturday & then it stopped working. The website that i am not able to connect to (either on FireFox or IE7)
I have uninstalled AVG & disabled Windows Firewall & still not able to connect to the website or use the program. I re-installed AVG but had to install the 8.0 version & as i am sure you know already when you google something AVG will use its Resident Shield & Linkscanner & let you know if the links are safe; well, with the link for this website it says that it cannot scan it & that may be due to the webpage being removed or there is an issue with it. I know the webpage is there & that there is nothing wrong as i can use my girlfriends laptop on the same connection & it works perfectly fine.
I click start, go to search box and no matter what I type in...cmd, run, whatever. I can't get the appropriate dialog box. Can anyone help. This problem only arose today for some reason.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI own a Toshiba Qosmio x300(running on Vista home premium x64) and recently my oldest laptop, HP (windows XP pro x32), died from overheating.
Lucky for me, the hdd is still alive as I have some VERY important files on it (Work related)
The problem is that I cannot retrieve them:
here's exactly what I did:
I inserted my HP's hdd into my Toshiba.
(tried booting from XP but could not start windows since it seems to crash after the loading screen with the XP logo) (Also tried booting in safe mode, but same result)
So, I booted successfully from vista.
when I try to access the "My Documents" folder of the windows XP administrator account from windows vista, it says: Access denied.
I tried also making an administrator account from vista(exact name, case sensitive and same password) hoping to achieve success but no such luck.. I tried various software unlockers but none of them worked.
I have installed Windows Vista twice on the same PC. I'm now unable to access my work or get on the internet.All was working OK with just a minor problem with a conflict of loading Adobe Acrobat 5, 'I thought that I could correct this by re-loading the
Vista Software wrong.Anyway, I'm now trying to correct things I have tried system restore
'no good' I have no back-up and I'm a bit lost I want to remove the latest installation of Vista and revert back to the original.
After 'Optimize Soeed Up your PC' which supposes to be 'speed-up,' Vista, however when turned the PC/Vista backed on, only Blue Screen, thus I can NOT access Vista.

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy husband and I each have a user profile on our computer. Lately whenever he tries to access his profile to get to his files, favorites, etc. he gets this message: "The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded." So he is unable to get to any of his files or music in the Media Center. He uses my user profile to get to his Yahoo browser to get his email but cannot get any of his bookmarks which is becoming very irritating to him. I can't blame him.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently bought a new laptop which runs Vista Business, the problem I am getting is with Access. With my work I use Access databases which have the following files (please be aware I am an absolute novice when it comes to Access I literally fill in the blanks) "rpt.mdb" and "rpt_be.mdb". To start the database I double click rpt.mdb to bring up the front end of my report writing software. When I do this now the screen I usually get isn't complete and I can't access any data or input anything. The files were originally created in Access 2003 and they don't seemed to have converted over well.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a local Intranet (a local website, not file share system) and I am using IIS 7 because this is a very advanced asp.net website. I have got it working on my machine, but I cannot get it to work on any other machine connected to my network. They can all access my file share and normal network, but cannot use the IIS localhost.
I have read about changing the Hosts file, but when I try to ping localhost, I do not get a valid IP to enter in the Hosts file. I am obviously doing something wrong. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?
EDIT: Have solved this problem! For those who wish to know how:
Find out more about Localhost. There is a very good article here: localhost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This will explain about the default Localhost IP. For IPv4 it is 127.0.0.1 and for IPv6 it is ::1. Pinging the LocalHost usually gives you the IPv6 ::1 IP address. You may type 127.0.0.1 into your browser, however aliased websites in other locations will NOT work. Set your computer with the IIS website on it to static IP. Type in to your browser (on any computer on your network) your now static IP, and you CAN put a forwardslash and your aliased website in other locations. I think you can now add this to the Hosts file to make a nice alias on any computer. I will probably write a tutorial on this when I get around to it.
Whenever I try to click on X: in My Computer I get the following: X: is not accessible. Access is denied. That's kinda funny given that earlier today, chkdsk /F was able to not only run on the drive but actually told me a few filenames (the records for those files had to be updated). I ran Ubuntu LiveCD and was able to access the drive just fine from that, as well. My question is... given all this, why am I unable to access the drive from Windows Vista? Sure, maybe the drive is going bad, but that doesn't explain why Ubuntu LiveCD and chkdsk /F can access it and Windows Vista cannot. So, short of just abandoning Window Vista all together in favor of Ubuntu, what can I do?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to access the public folder from another computer on my local network. After failing I started diagnosis at the local machine. I have UAC turned off and have shared the public folder (c:userspublic) with full control, change and read for everyone in share and Full control for everyone in the security tab. I can access the folder in windows explorer. If I select start network, machine name, public, I get a message that \machinenamepublic is not accessible. Network and sharing center show the following:
Network Discovery on
File Sharing on
Public floder sharing on (password required)
Printer sharing off
Password Protected Sharing on
Media sharing off
If I click on the link to show me all the files and folders that I am sharing nothing is displayed.
This is all local, not via the network.
I am unable to access internet live links from Windows Mail. when I try, I get - Internet Explorer has stopped working' 'a problem caused the program to top working correctly' Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available', which of course it does not!

I'm running Vista Home Premium x64, 2GB memory, NVidia 8600 GT with ASUS M2N motherboard. My problem is this: About four days ago I started my system and left the room. When I came back the monitor was blank even though the computer was running. I had to do power button shut down. It started back up without a problem. Later on I tried to open the device manager from the control panel and got a half second flash of a screen but it would not open. That started me looking at other shortcuts in the control panel (classic view).
I have since found that I cannot access: Auto Play, Backup and Restore, Default Programs, Ease of Access, Network and Sharing Center, Parental Controls, Performance Information and Tools, Personalization, Power Options, Speech Recognition Options, System, User Accounts, Welcome Center, Windows Anytime Upgrade, Windows Sideshow and WWindows Update. I haven't been able to find any information about this particular problem anywhere I've looked. I had the UAC turned off and always got a warning after startup that it was disabled. I turned it back on and can now access the device manager but everything else is still inaccessable. I'm still able to use my system but it's driving me nuts knowing it's not 100%.
I can't access the NVIDIA Control panel, I get an instant error message, as per attached. I am running 175.16 driver and I can't install newest driver as I need to access the NVIDIA Control panel so I can set up dual monitors. I can't even run Driver Sweeper, it leaves 3 files behind and I don't think it does an uninstall.
