Yesterday when I went out to my cousins house to give hime somthing, he asked me
a question about his computer. I can usually figure these problems out when I look
at the computer for a while, but neither him nor myself could get it figured out
the whole time we were working on it.
The problem: his Internet Explorer doesn't load any pages, it just says this page
cannot be displayed. We cleared out the history, content.ie5, temp, temporary internet
files, and prefetch folders, as well as looked through the registry a little bit.
It still didn't work. Mozilla firefox works fine on his computer and we were connected
to the internet. We reset the web settings and restored default operations in the
internet explorer internet settings. I tried to run and sfc /scannow but the command
prompt told us he needed admistrative privlages at the console level (he is the administrator
on the WinXP home machine , so this made no sense at all).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, when trying to run msconfig from the
run box or command line, it say s the application cannot be found. I did a file search
and it opened just fine, so somhow it isn't in the windows system folder anymore
and it used to run just fine.
much Thanks in advance,
Arthur
