692611 2008-07-27 02:13:00 so i got a new computer and 2 days ago i couldnt search on google. now i cant search on many websites but on google i can use the im feeling lucky button. i cant go on trademe but can go on bebo, youube and most sites. i cant go on hotmail either. what is happening? and what do i need to do? it happens on internet explorer, firefox and opera so its not the browser.

also i can't turn on automatic updates. every time i try it says it can't. i went to the settings for it and can't change it through there either.

ive cleared the hard drive of stuff i dont need
defragmented the disk
system restore wont work for some reason
ive re installed windows with no luck
ive done a virus scan

nothing is working
please help me

692615 2008-07-27 02:23:00 Do you have a firewall running? What about antivirus software? gary67 (56)
692616 2008-07-27 02:23:00 Are Vista's parental controls turned on?
Does it work properly in Firefox?

692617 2008-07-27 02:23:00 Well in theory it shouldnt be happening. What ISP are you with. And who configured your router?? Do you have a modem/router??

What about firewalls?? Did you install another firewall, besides Windows?

What version of Windows is it?

692619 2008-07-27 02:34:00 Since you reinstalled Windows, did you reinstall all the drivers as well?

What about service packs, did you reinstall one of them. Before putting it on the net?
