Hi am trying to fix a problem for a friend of mine on his Dell Inspiron
1720-1418 which is running Vista Home Premium and all is fine apart from
Internet Explorer cannot connect to the internet. I DO have a working
internet connection and am able to download Windows updates and updates for
Spybot (although not for NOD32, Malwarebytes or SuperAntiSpyware !!) I have
run the latest version of these utilities and cleaned out some small issues
appropriately. Next downloaded Firefox incase IE had become corrupted but
exactly the same deal.
I next thought maybe it's a firewall issue and as my working knowledge on
the vista firewall is pretty flakey I decided to download, via my PC, a copy
of Zone Alarm.
The Dell will not allow me to install because the drivers are not compatible
!!
Tried different firewalls from different manufacturers but the same deal.
And of course the repair option is not available as there is no back up to
work from, for which I will gently thank my friend...
Really really desperately need some help on this one
TIA
