Browsing internet

although I can still dial up and connect ok all I get is page cannot be displayed also I have noticed that when you go to start but the connect to is no longer visable has anyone any thoughts on this also will say that someone had installed kazza and p2p on the system but has been taken off thought maybe that winsock
had been corrupted but dosen't seem to be that.

Win xp home

Get HijackThis from here, run a scan, save the log and paste it here. Don't fix anything with it yet.

More info on removing here.

I see you have Windows Messenger running. Unless you use it, I recommend removing it. More info here.

I assume you mean the registry keys? If so, try applying the WinsockFix.

 

Hi yes I did mean reg keys and I have have followed the suggestions but I still am not getting web pages just the page can not be displayed

Rodger

 

See if this applies.

You can always try this.

 

If I may suggest a couple of things to try out.

1. Try using another browser and see if the same problems occur. If no, then the problems are with IE (assuming you're using IE).

2. If yes, check your HOSTS file which is located in this folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. To check it, open your HOSTS (no extension) file with Notepad. A clean and untouched HOSTS file should look like this:

 

Hi after much time spent as you do trying all and finally making the decision ,I backedup all that was not already backed up and
did the re-install option but thankyou all for your help as you don't know untill you try all options, not quite sure what started this except maybe it was the kazza and p2p program, but all is working well once again
