I just bought a reconditioned PC which has windows 2k and
it will not surf! It connects ok and will Very Slowly go
to home page (msn) then when I try to click and move
somewhere else it gives me a message dns error.
I sent it back to the factory they did some stuff and said
it was fine. It came back today and still will not surf,
it tries but after 15 mins trying to log into my local
supermarket to shop - I gave up.
I feel like reformatting the whole thing and putting
windows 98 on it. At least windows 98 works and has not
given me ANY problems since 98! Needed a bigger hard
drive hence new recycled PC.
I am desperate 2k came preloaded so I don't have the disk.
The error I get when surfing is 'page won't display dns
error' I have put IE6 on and that has helped me click
links in the help files. I tried going to update but it's
too slow and unable either to view page or download
stuff. My connection is 56k and working fine, with this
computer it's fast, click and your where you want to be
but the new one - no way!
In one place in the settings somewhere it calls me a user
and it seems I am part of a workgroup. I am not, this is
a standalone pc which I got to shop and surf as I am
housebound.
Do you think it still has former history in it somewhere
so won't permit me to surf. it keeps advising me about an
administrator must do this or that - I don't understand.
Sorry this is so long I am really frustrated and
dissapointed about this whole thing. Please can anyone
advise me.
