QuickOldCar Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Been around computers most my life(since was 8 ), I build and repair for a living. Today I got in an i5 kit from tigerdirect.com. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=631829&CatId=4910 with an additional 4 gig memory. I feel this a pretty good bargain, and everything worked, loaded up windows 7 and was browsing the net. I liked it. Now here's my rant.....I decide to do windows update, register it and all that jazz. For some reason I can now only see a select few sites on the internet. Really about 99% of websites are blocked or looks more like just trouble loading, but they never connect. Being http:// or https:// sites doesn't matter. Other comps in my network all load them fine. Here's what I did so far, but I'm about ready to just redo the os, or better yet install ubuntu 64 bit. reloaded original drivers from motherboard cd. uninstall and reinstall ethernet reset any internet settings to default remove updates from when noticed the issue reinstall chrome and firefox5 It does this in all browsers as well, firefox4 and 5, chrome and ie9 Going to go try windows restore and see if I can get it back prior to updates. If anyone has had similar issues, maybe knows which update the culprit is, please post back. OS is windows 7 pro 64bit sp1 Long live XP Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240491-my-windows-7-rant/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKunKbad Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I use Win7 64bit on two computers with no problems. I have little gripes about it, but I like it better than anything else, and I own a mac and two ubuntu computers.

Pikachu2000 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Probably got a virus. Consider yourself lucky; you did pretty well to be able to browse more than one website before getting one . . .

QuickOldCar Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 I got it back, in the update was a newer driver for my ethernet that broke it. Uninstalled that, uninstalled ethernet, added a network card, then went and added the ethernet back and loaded the original ethernet driver from the cd. Yeah a lot to take in, but thats what I had to do to get it working, rollback, load other drivers..just didn't work. it was very odd, I could see msn,google and youtube every time, also can see gomoviez.info, amazon,yahoo,but not any microsoft,phpfreaks,fastpasstv.com. just to name a few Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240491-my-windows-7-rant/#findComment-1235223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
