I have a friend’s win xp computer that they desperately need for a expensive
program on it that only runs in win xp.
I started out thinking it was a winsock problem in win xp
but now it is narrowed down to something software is stopping the computer from
connecting to the internet
The lan adapter and wifi work fine they connect to the network but they do not
go out to the internet
I don’t have a proxy running
I did do a reset of the winsock ..no luck
if I do a ping it wont get out to the server and fails
I cant use any browser I tried 3 and none work. They all say page not displayed
I did discover in safe mode I can connect to the
internet. I can ping google and get on back,but At this point I am stuck I am not sure if anyone here in the malware forum can help but I am really hoping to get this computer connecting
again without reinstalling windows xp.
Thank you in advance for your help
