Hello, i have a laptop ~ 5 months old that I use almost entirely for the internet. About 3 weeks ago, using IE, I noticed web pages stared loading poorly, with many errors. Photos would only half load. The problem got progressively worse. Now, I am unable to download any new files...windows update, firefox, spyware detectors, anything. They download ok, but when I try to install I get errors saying the file is corrupted. I ran norton antivirus full system scan with no adverse results. I ran a memory test, with no adverse results. I restored the pc to a point about 6 weeks ago, the problem persists. I finally restored the pc to the factory default settings, the problem still persists. Any ideas? I |

Click start/search, type msconfig and hit <enter>. On the startup and services tabs, disable anything loading from Symantec/Norton. Click apply/ok and reboot, see if this changes things. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "JDB" <JDB@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C39420EB-C5A0-48C9-B033-919317E73A14@microsoft.com... > Hello, i have a laptop ~ 5 months old that I use almost entirely for the > internet. > > About 3 weeks ago, using IE, I noticed web pages stared loading poorly, > with > many errors.
