D
desperate
I use my school dial-up from home, and it seems like it
works and I log on fine. But I can't get onto internet
explorer, the window automatically closes by itself. I
also can't use any instant messaging.
Frustrated, I tried using aol, and the same thing happens,
it dials up fine, but I can't use the browser or use
instant messaging, however the aol email works for some
reason.
The last time my internet worked was right before I had
this 60 second shut down warning and the computer shut
down by itself. After that the internet hasn't been
working and my computer slightly lags.
I thought i had the sasser worm, so I downloaded the
microsoft updates from a friend's computer and tried to
install them my computer, but it said that it didn't
detect the sasser virus.
I tried to get updates from microsoft, but it says that
I'm not connected to the internet.
I scanned my computer for viruses with mcaffee, but there
are none. I also set up a firewall.
I really don't know what to do. The last thing I would
want to do is reformat my computer. Is there any other
way I can try to fix the problem? Pllleeease help me...
