[QUOTE="Toni Cookson, post: 323497, member: 32491"] Update: I reset my internet modem/box, and now can't get on internet on that computer at all. It shows me connected, but whenever I try to go to any internet site through my interenet browsers, instead of saing the site name can't be recognized (like before the reset, I would type in this site and it would say cannot recognize and give some weird characters for the site name - possibly chinese or ?), now it says cannot connect to proxy server. I tried the wireless connection too. Obviously I have a good internet connection, because I am using the wirelsess connection on this old laptop which is sitting right next to my desktop computer. If worst comes to worst, I am willing to buy a full copy of windows 8 on disc (although I'm not sure I'll like windows 8), move important programs to my external hard drive, and wipe my drives by installing the fresh windows 8. That would be my worst case scenario, but doable. I'm hoping there is a way to get this working in safe mode with networking or with a thumb drive (although I'm not sure it will let me load it not in safe mode), or some other way. [/QUOTE]
