Jim in Anchorage Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Just like that explorer, chrome and firefox can't get online. They say no connection. But safari gets on no problem. How can that be? Hurry I need IE to watch the Bills game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 as it's running is should show you if if found possible 'infections', this will be a pretty good indicator if this could be part of the problem Ok I downloaded it and started to run it but going by their progress counter it's going to take hours.

Fan in Chicago Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Ok I downloaded it and started to run it but going by their progress counter it's going to take hours. I might add this all started shortly after I did a windows system refresh. Try downloading using a different computer and then transfering that install file via thumb drive to your problematic computer. Other random thought (I am not an IT guy or a techie) is that maybe the new Windows update changed the firewall settings and 'intelligently' blocked some programs. I once had McAfee do that to me and I could not use Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's your problem System refresh reverts your computer back to a previous state with the exception of your personal files. The program files may still be on your hard drive but the Registry entries are gone. Run Windows update to pull IE (and Windows OS) updates. Re-install Firefox. Chrome, Flash, Java, and any other programs that you have installed on top of the refresh/restore point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 K, I have another techie question. When I watch sports on PC or IPAD, all good . When I try to display on TV either through HDMI OE Apple TV, the picture gets all choppy. Any ideas?

Click Start, Programs, and hit Windows Update or Open IE and go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com The hdmi is wired, Apple tv wireless Of only about 6 months old, so would think be okay.
