| 699876 | 2008-08-30 00:43:00 | The MS OneCare removal tool would be worth running as well, to make sure all the remnants of it's installation are actually removed Thanks Bevy121 I have already used that removal tool so as far as I am concerned it should not be on my system.. Gordon |

| 699877 | 2008-08-30 00:51:00 | Hi Feersumendjinn, I cant even get into my router now.. I have given up I cant even do a recovery as I get a LTLDR is missing so I think I will take it to a computer shop and see what they say.. I just keep getting confused going round and round in circles and Microsoft web sites confuse me even more when they send me to sites and what I am looking for is never what I seem to be looking for.. Thanks for all your help.. Gordon | Gordon_P (12244) | ||
| 699878 | 2008-08-30 01:06:00 | Microsoft web "help" sites are mostly the least help possible, and as you have already discoverd, generally the most confusing. | bevy121 (117) | ||
| 699879 | 2008-08-30 06:07:00 | hahahaha I am glad I am not the only one then.. I have given it to a computer shop to fix so will see what happens.. If he comes up with with something new I will post it on here...Gordon | Gordon_P (12244) | ||

| 699881 | 2008-08-30 06:32:00 | I have never been unable to access the internet since I bought itYou didn't mention this important fact earlier. Did you install the SP3 from a CD? How are you connecting to your router? Does your email program work OK? Did you try a different browser? Did you try opening up the command window and pinging 66.249.93.104? (google.co.nz) Edit: I see you have taken the laptop to a tech, so it will be interesting to find out what the problem was. |

| 699882 | 2008-08-31 03:16:00 | Just reading an interesting article in the latest Aust PCUSER Mag - could be the same problem - MS Site (support.microsoft.com) - according to the article - its to do with the router issuing the DHCP - so try setting your IP address to static on the PC affected. If you dont know how - Look at this article (ask-leo.com) - where it says your DNS enter the DNS server address for your ISP. Example: Telstra is 203.96.152.4 & 203.96.152.12 Xtra - 202.27.158.40 then 202.27.156.72 Who is your ISP ? |

| 699884 | 2008-08-31 08:51:00 | Hi wainuitech, Thanks for that information always good to get some feedback, I am with Xtra but did not know there static address but do now.. I have put the laptop in to a workshop now to get fixed, I really thought it was going to be easier than it was, when one thing was fixed another thing goes wrong until I did the full circle, Most of the time I was connected to the internet but could not access in or out..

| 699885 | 2008-08-31 09:48:00 | Hee hee, beat ya to it, Wainui, see post #20 ;) yep you did :thumbs: But it was interesting that the problem as described in the PCUSER mag seemed the same, SP3 can break several things, and from experience, its usually the TCP/IP stack. Looking at the site, the hotfix is there as well for that problem, just downloaded it - but of course no good to me at the moment as I don't have any connection problems. |
