Windows 7 64bit Doesn't Connect To Certain Websites?
May 7, 2011
I have a Win7 64 bit build that I've ran into connectivity problems with. I can get on some websites, cannot get onto others. Can get to the home page on some, but no further such as here, I can get to the main forum page, but then I cannot get into threads. Some sites, such as newegg, can't even get onto them. So far I've tried different browsers, including downgrading from FF4 to a FF3 version. IE8, Chrome, same issues. I have reason to believe that it's within the PC itself, whether it's software or hardware. I'm on my netbook right now running FF4 and don't have the same problems. I've even shut off the firewall and there is no other firewall or anti-virus on the PC.
Since I upgraded my OS from XP to Windows 7, I could not connect to certain websites (eg. www.blogger.com) and some websites takes a long time to load (eg. Sign In). It's not my connection problem cause I tried the website on my other PC and it worked but not this one.I also couldn't upload photos to facebook, twitter and other sites. I have tried opendns but no luck. I've also unchecked all on the 'Advanced JavaScript Settings' in Firefox. Also Windows Update keeps showing error '80072EE2' even after I have fixed it.
I can access most websites from my laptop except for a handful, as stated in the title. I can access them from other computers on my network. Java + You Adobe Centrelink - assists people to become self-sufficient and supports those in need police.sa, Geekzone: technology news, blogs, forums. These are a few of the sites I cannot access. I am also unable to access any websites that are offshoots of these i.e. Adobe - Downloads or Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
I have tried to ping these and when I do I get this message: Pinging [website] [IP address] with 32 bytes of data: General Failure. General Failure. General Failure. General Failure.
Ping statistics for [IP address]: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% Loss)
The laptop is connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR600 Wireless 150 Router, which is then connected via ethernet cable to a DSL-504T modem/router. I am running Avast Antivirus and am currently using Google Chrome as my browser. I have tried opening the websites in Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer (32x and 64x) to no avail.
I have Windows 7 Home 64 bit, and I'm using IE9 32 bit. Suddenly yesterday morning IE9 could no longer display pages from certain websites . It connects and tries to fetch the page, but after a minute or two it gives up and displays the standard "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page" message. Here are some of the websites that IE9 can no longer show:
Photobucket Barnesandnoble Microsoft Yahoo Mail!
Strangely, I can still reach some Yahoo sites, and appear to be signed in, and can even see my mail box on my MyYahoo page, but can't go directly to it. I've experimented with different settings for IE options, popupblocker, active-x, flash, but nothing works. I've also added these sites to my list of trusted sites in the security tab, which has the lowest possible security settings, but that doesn't work either. Another thing I've discovered is that IE9 appears to download part of the source code for these pages but not all of it. I can still access most sites as usual. It's just particular sites such as those I listed above that have the problem.
I have never been able to connect to Facebook since obtaining this new computer. It will either give the Internet Explorere page that says "Internet Explorer cannot display the page" or it will go to BING with Facebook as a search result option.
I have tried deleting cookies, deleting Security Essentials annd adjusting pop-ups and other security settings - nothing seems to work I have also tried it with Google Chrome - does not work - goes to BING page.

A while ago all of my services were set off. I manually restored each and every proper one. But still, whenever I turn on my laptop from hibernation and shut down,my internet anttanae does not automaticlly connect to the internet.
I have a new build with Windows 7 64 bit. I am trying to install Java. I have downloaded it and tried to load it. I get to the installing Java screen and nothing happens.
I have a problem with my custom build pc,When i try installing windows 7 pro 64 bit, It freeze in "windows is loading files", I've waited 20mins and nothing happens.Before this problem happen I bought a Barebone kit and not a problem like this happen but I recently had hardware issues with my motherboard and psu were not stable, I had to replace both my mobo and psu.here's my original build I started with - no problem what's so ever[CODE]
I had my laptop running last night and I woke up this morning and my computer was frozen. It wasn't the "blue screen of death" as many mention as it was simply frozen but when I turned it back on (and continue to turn it back on) it gets stuck on "Starting Windows" without even proceeding to the Windows login screen. Next, when I launch a "system repair" it goes through the process but freezes in the blue "system repair" screen without even showing anything. Just the blue background sunshine screen and is just stuck there.
Under "Advanced Boot Options" the "Last Known Good Configuration" gives me no luck either. I then try "Safe Mode" and under "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" it freezes while "Loading Windows Files" and the last file/driver it shows is windowssystem32DRIVERSAtiPcie.sys. I have a Windows 7 64-bit boot disc but this is my small laptop which doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. I can use my USB drive if necessary but I attempted to do that but maybe there is some special way I must install it on my USB drive?? Otherwise I am completely stuck.
PROCESSOR - Dual (two processors) - Xeon E5520 8M Cache, 2.26 GHz, 5.86 GT/s Intel� QPI MOTHERBOARD - Intel Workstation board S5520 SC GRAPHICS CARD - Palit Nvidia GeForce GTX 275 (986 MB) Dual DVI out RAM - DDR3 1333 MHz 6 GB (G-Skill) MONITORS - 2 are connected (Samsung Sync Master 2233 & NEC Accusync LCD 224WXM) CURRENT OPERATING SYSTEM - Windows XP 64 bit
The problem with the above configuration is that when I try to install Windows 7, the machine freezes (hangs) randomly, I have tried formatting and installing for at-least 4-5 times now but what happens is the setup doesn't work and stops during installation, last time the setup was successful but it hangs the workstation without any reason. I have also tried installing the same CD on other system and it works fine.
I have a Velocity Micro desktop, it came with XP Media Center 32 bit and has a Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of ram, I've been wanting to try 7 for a long time so I bought a new 1TB WD black hard drive and a OEM copy of Win 7 home premium, I removed the old hard drive, installed new drive and proceeded to install Win 7, everything went fine on the install but I can't get it to connect to the internet, it reports error 651 "The modem has reported an error" and then a box pops up that looks like an old dial up connection box with a spot for a name and password and says redial in 45 sec. I'm not on dial up but am on DSL with a new Netgear N router, this computer was connecting fine just before I did the install, if I check Device manager it says the network card is working properly, and I can unhook the network cable from this computer and plug it into an old laptop with no wireless and it connects with the cable and gets 5Mbps speed so nothing is wrong with the cable
I can't connect to the remote VPN. I did it successfully 1 week ago, when using XP. Verifying username and password stays too long and after that this error occurs. I've tried many things, but none of them worked. It is 100% sure that I enter the correct username, password and domain name.
I just ordered an external enclosure for my 3.5 80GB HDD, which is a FAT32 drive with all my old MP3's on it.What I was wondering is , of course, will it run, by USB, in my Windows 7 64bit environment......or can I at least pull the files off of the FAT32 HDD and somehow put them on my Windows 7 64bit system?
I'm running the Windows 7 64bit, the printer is connected to the XP. That printer is not a network printer (Hp 5740,and 5520) , and shared from a Desktop running WinXP 32 bit. I cannot install it via network access ?
When I first start my computer up every morning, my Laptop will automatically connect to my router, everything is fine. The problem I'm having is when I log my computer off, or put the computer into sleep mode. After logging back on to my laptop it won't connect back to the router. I always get the orange star sign over the signal bars.If I try to re-connect by clicking on the signal bars in the bottom right hand side of the screen it won't connect.
In my computer-> Network & Connections, It shows two networks but i connect only one network, My computer doesn't connect to internetand shows limited or no connectivity. How can i resolve this problem?
I've just recently purchased a generic wireless mouse from eBay. more specifically, this one: 2.4GHz USB Receiver Wireless Optical Mouse F PC Laptop | eBay it doesn't work. I'm running Windows 7 64bit and it started installing the drivers, first it was installing "HID Wireless Mouse", then it switched to "USB Input Device" but failed after 3 seconds. now it's listed in Device Manager as "USB Input Device" with yellow sign that indicates it doesn't work. I tested it in 2 other Windows 7 32bit computers and it works just fine! installing drivers and everything. moreover - I testes my bro's logitech wireless mouse on my 64bit Windows 7 computer and it works fine. I think Windows fails on recognizing it. I mean the drivers are there.. the Logitech Mouse works but mine doesn't.. how do I make it work?
Get this msg: Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to www.:Able to connect with other computer. Same IPTried uninstall and reinstall IE8ipconfig /flush and refresh
Just bought a new laptop. Old one died. I can't run my old One Write Plus Accounting software. Error says it doesn't run with 64 bit o/s. I bought a copy of windows 7 professional because it has an XP Emulation mode but if this accounting software won't work in either case, I'd hate to even open the package and blow $200
I can only connect to the network using 64 bit applications on Window 7 Pro SP1.The problem occured after installing the latest version of iTunes (may or may not be related). I uninstalled iTunes with no change. IE 32 bit crashes after opening. Firefox opens but gives Server Not Found error. I cannot connect webservers on the local network with Firefox either. Filezilla will not connect to local or remote servers. VNC will not connect to local servers - IE 64 works fine and command line tools like ftp and telnet to internal and external sites works fine - this is not a DNS, Firewall, or Routing issue.
Same results in Safe Mode sfc /scannow runs clean.
I reset the winsock, uninstalled all my network adapters, including the drivers and resinstalled them.Rebooted multiple times.Unfortunately I just discoved that System Restore was not enabled so I can't roll back.I doubt this is malware related as I have multiple levels of defense (postini, SpyShelter, Symantec Endpoint) and outside of iTunes have not downloaded or installed anything or even visited unusual websites. I'm about to do a deep scan that will probably take a few hours just to play it safe.
I noticed that I cannot open several different websites after I installed a windows 7 update. I type in [URL] it trys to open that window but says [URL] etc etc.....while the snapfish windown never opens.
