Computer Loses Ability To Load Webpages After A Day Of Being On
Jun 29, 2011
Its been like this for a while now. That is every time i leave my computer on for over a day it loses its ability to load webpages. A simple ping to [URL] gives a timeout while any other computer on the network can still access any other website (including google.com). I suspected a failure of my computers DNS to convert DN's into IPs however a flushing and reactivating of the computers DNS cache still does not solve the issue. If i still have MSN or uTorrent running they seem to be able to connect to peers over the internet which is strangely odd, however signing in and refreshing trackers no longer work. I have tried accessing websites with the latest version of IE and FF while this problem persists.
All network settings are on automatic and i use Windows 7 SP1. I have a phone that alerts me to new mail and i have suscribed to this thread.

Most web sites that I try to visit cause an error to display at the bottom of the screen - A problem displaying xxxx.com caused internet explorer to refresh the web page using compatibilty view.The problem is that even though it's using compatibility mode, it usually only displays the web site header info, there's no detail. This happens on most web sites. I have another pc with Windows 7 and IE9 and have no problems. I compared the settings and everything looks OK.

I have a new desktop running win 7 64bit pro. After doing a fresh install the only thing I did was remove the trial version of Norton AV. Now many pages will not load in either IE9 or chrome. Some pages load but when you try to click on links. Our other laptops on my network can browse the internet without any problems. Pages that load on them will not load on this new desktop.
The desktop is connect to the network via ethernet cable.
I've been able to download and receive windows updates. I was able to download google chrome. I can get to Google but I when I click on the links the pages will not load, it just sets there and never gives me any error.

Windows 7, 64 Dell XPS 8000 system. All browsers (Firefox, IE7, Opera) exhibit same behavior, which is when starting from the home page and browse to another page or tab, the page will stay open for a few seconds and then close and the browser displays the home page. Also, when trying to open Outlook 2007 from Outlook Today, I cannot open the inbox. The only way to do so is "open in new window". This is also true when trying to open folders.

1. Computer, at start up, sometimes can't find my monitor. Only way is to start the computer with the monitor switched off; then turn the monitor on at a certain time during the booting process (when I here a motherboard-beep). Occasionally the connection will be broken anyway (and I'll have to mess with the 'reset/-start button). I generally get to the motherboard page and BIOS settings. But sometimes not even that and then the only solution is to leave everything off for a while (minimum a couple of minuts – but not exactly sure).
2. Computer lose monitor when it to goes into sleep mode. This only happens if I leave it inactive for a long enough time. I can usually retrieve it if the display's gone out only for a short while, as usual - by pressing keyboard or moving mouse.
My hope is to find a solution that doesn't involve buying a new monitor.

I am noticing that if the OS is unexpectedly shut down then all the state data in IE is lost. I am assuming it is cookie data. An example is Google preferences. I set it to display 100 results per page, not filter my results and open in a new window.
Every time the computer is "accidently" powered off upon reboot Google reverts to showing 10 results per page, filtered results and opening in the same page (the default settings). This goes for every site that I have remember my login name.
I am runing Windows 7 Build 7100 RC1
I am curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

I have desktop that is less than 2 years old and it is having two problems: First, if I step away from the computer for a few minutes and come back to the computer, the screen is black and none of the keys will wake up the monitor. Also, I am unable to turn off the tower, even when holding down the button for 10 seconds. The only way to turn it off is to unplug the tower. When I plug it back in, I get everything back on the screen just like it was before I walked away.
The other problem is that the system clock will not keep time. This just happened a week or so ago. Whenever I manually update the sync, it resets, but won't keep time for long. From reading other posts on this forum, it seems that the CMOS battery may be an issue. Since the computer isn't that old and isn't used constantly, does that still seem reasonable? Is that normally covered under a warranty? I have never had a problem with other computers.

I have a two year old Dell PC with Windows 7. I got a virus in my computer that by phone and computer takeover Norton located in my MBR. When they cleaned it my computer will no longer boot up. Norton worked with me for three days on the problem but we were unable to fix the computer. I followed other web sites and repaired my MBR but it still will not boot up. I tried System Repair, Check point, Image, and Dell system restore and all failed. I have tried to use the Windows install CD and all I get is a black screen with a flashing cursor and then after 3 minutes the compute attempts to boot again and fails. I tried everything to try and wipe the drive from C prompt and it will not let me. I have very weak computer skills but I can follow directions and I have wiped a previous computer I owned. (I confirmed that my CD drive is working) I also should mention I have a second hard drive on my computer that I backed everything up to.

I have a problem that drives me nuts: in my main account I lost the ability to browse any websites. I can successfully ping to the Default Gateway and websites but when trying to open a website I always get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message. I also can ping the computer from the router or another computer. Also Windows Update and Microsoft Security Essentials have no problems searching or downloading updates. And in another account on the same Windows 7 installation I can browse websites without any issues. I already tried to shut down the firewall but that didn't solve the problem.

When I login to my work machine and open explorer or anything, Explorer.exe crashes and restarts. Once its restarted I can no longer open any programs or explorer. If I right click on the shortcut it appears to be missing the "open" command and double clicking doesn't work either.I have scanned for viruses, using Trend, Avast, AVG and Panda. I have also scanned for MAlware using Malware bytes & Spybot and they did not find anything.I have also logged on as a different user, this works fine. After that I recreated the profile and still explorer.exe is doing the same

With the number of updates that come for Windows 7, there must be a lot of space used up by the files which make it possible to uninstall KB updates and hotfixes, and security updates.Is there any way to get rid of these? It is at least a week since an update was installed, and my system is running fine, so I don't see why I should be able to uninstall the 37 updates to Windows listed in Control Panel - Programs and Features - Installed Updates. Some of them go back nearly a year.Over time, these backups are going to take up a significant space in the Wiondows partition.

Is there a tweak possible to cause a program that doesn't have the ability built-in, to open multiple instances of itself to do so?I use Movie Collector for cataloging videos, and often when using it's scraper function, the options for a particular program's data download, is for each season of the program, which means that the program tree and thumbnail display fills rapidly, causing some orderly disorder.I prefer to integrate the seasons that I have of a series into a single listing, but to do that requires not only a lot of copy/pasting, but is hindered by the fact that one must go back and forth, opening and closing windows a lot. It would be much, much easier, if one could place two windows of the program side-by-side.

My new desktop will be coming on WED and I will be giving this Laptop to my sister and mother to use. I bought it in 2009, loaded with Windows 7 and it still runs like a dream perfect for what they would use it for. I was wondering what kind of precautions can I take to limit their ability to run exe files or to install things when I'm not arround b/c there desktop is a mess.....half of the browser window is full of search engine bars....you know the drill when it comes to family computers. I'd really hate to give them laptop and see them turn it into crap.

I have a laptop that has been attached to a domain that is no longer available. It will not let me logon any other way but a non admin / non domain user account.
Admin password is lost. Can I use something like Nordahl to access that admin account? Domain or not?

I recently built my first HTPC. Everything works great. I've got a ton of storage for all my shows/etc. The problem is that on my main 2TB HD, I've set up a partition for the OS (Windows 7) and then a larger Ex-Fat partition on the rest of the drive where I store my media. Occasionally, I will go to that partition and will be unable to edit folder titles, create new folders, move anything around the drive or move anything on or off of it. I scan the drive, which forces an unmount of the partition, find no errors, and then remount the drive and everything is fixed.

Vista allowed the contents of a window to be sorted by name, date modified, etc in any view -- but it appears Windows 7 drops that menu bar for all views other than "details" view. I can right-click within the box to sort, but it's very inefficient. retain that detail bar in all views?

My netbook loses its IP address after it has been asleep overnight or longer. I cannot do an ipconfig /release or ipconfig /renew. It says there is no media. My only recourse is to restart. My laptop does not have this problem.

I am rebooting "Windows 7" more than any prior version of Windows for one simple reason. When my computer comes out of a sleep mode and I click to log on to an existing session, the keyboard can no longer be used. Often when I attempt to type on the keyboard, the mouse is then lost as well.
If I instead log on and then immediately do a restart - everything is fine. So, now I have fallen into the habit of restarting every time. It takes less time for me to do that then getting something started with the mouse and then freezing the system by trying to type something. So I just accept the restart and avoid the reboot. But, essentially the restart is a reboot.
Very frustrating! Then a few times I have gone directly to the Microsoft website and they do not even mention the issue in their database. It's like no matter how many people mention the same "windows 7" "loses keyboard", Microsoft just does not care. It goes against all the other facts that say "Windows 7" is the most stable version of Windows.

Got a PC with Nvidia GeForce 6150 graphics card with no overclocking. Sometimes the monitor loses signal and does not work. Sometimes it works just fine. I've tried different VGA cable and different monitor, situation didn't change. I've got 4 different connectors.
- 1 VGA and DVI on Nvidia
- 1 VGA and DVI built in into motherboard.
Sometimes, when the Nvidia doesn't work, I connect to built-in card and monitor starts working. Next time when it's out, I connect back to Nvidia. There have been situations when only one of the four connectors is working. This means that on one graphics card there may be only one connector which is functioning. I don't get this. Problem isn't in the display nor the cable. It also doesn't seem to be in the graphics card as the built-in connectors aren't fully functional neither.

The other day I was on my laptop computer and it froze. I had to hard shut it down (like I have done in the past) and when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't go past the "starting windows" screen. I have pressed F8 and F10 when I turned it back on and tried everything that it gives me the option for. It won't allow me to go into safe mode. It ends up doing the same thing as when I just try turning on the computer normally, doesn't go past the starting windows screen. I have had this computer for 3 years and have never had an issue with it until now. I don't even know if I still have the discs still or not (don't believe I do)

I was given an HP 3100 Pavilion Slimline that originally had Vista. Now it doesn't have any OS loaded. When I try to load XP or 7 I get a message <Windows root> system32.dll. File missing or corrupt. Reload this file and try loading Windows again. I don't have much history on this computer but I was told XP was loaded to replace Vista but lacked the proper Network Drivers. My question is, where can I get the dll download and how do I load it on the computer without an OS?

So I think I downloaded a virus. I was watching a show and it told me to watch i have to download a flashplayer(BTW it wasn't porn). So I did (I am so dumb T_T) and it turned off my whole entire PC. I was so scared!. So I turned it back up it said that the startup won't load and it was trying to repair it. After it was done it said you have to restart your pc. But it gave me that same startup couldn't load and has to repair. So I put in my Windows 7 os disk. And when It was done with step 2 it told me to restart to finish the process. I did and it put me back to step 1 and start over.
