    Sorry folks! Haven't been on since my laptop's internet had crashed. Don't understand why it did that. And its not what you think! I refuse to go to see any porn site?! Yeah, not suitable for virgin eyes and ears. Anyways, it was connecting fine one night. I was browsing through Ripley's Believe it or not and hubbing the whole night. Next day, turned on my laptop and something had loaded itself on the laptop before I could even type in my password. I remember it saying, loading 3 of 3...

    5 days ago, I connect to the internet fine, but the this page of internet explore website cannot be display. There are only two links, diagnose the problem, which found nothing, or there is something wrong with the Doman Service something...

    As of today, it won't connect to the internet anymore?! And I just bought this brand spankin new laptop a month ago?! If you are wondering if its my internet connection, I usually have to use a PC Verizon Wireless card to connect online at work. But at home, we got our own modem with sudden link.

      Did you have automatic updates turned on? If so, and you  forced your computer to shutdown it will be the unfinished updates that wrecked your browser. If you can explain how you shut down your computer it may help.Do you mean you saw the files before you put in your windows login password?

        Thats probably what happened...

        My laptop has gotten worse and worse when it comes to shutting down. I notice that I can't closed the laptop or unplug it from the charger when it's time to shut down. Then this weird program pops up saying that I didn't shut down properly, and this set up was loading 1 of 3 page and so fourth...And yes, after all that loaded through, I waited for a while before I could login.

      Yeah Yeah May...you didn't go to any porn sites....OK *wink*  Anyway it's been quiet around here without you.  Do whatever it is you have to do, but get your butt back here.  Probably have to pay for that last movie you watched or something.   Sorry I'm a computer illiterate.....but I feel your pain.

    Hi Maymong. It sounds like you have a virus.  Do you have a malware program on your computer?

    How old is your laptop?  As a rule, laptops don't last more than 4 years.

      Hope your laptop is still under warranty.  Sounds like you got a lemon.
