hrm that is weird, try booting to safe mode - press either F5 or F8 ( i cant remember which) after the POST (Power on self test (when it does the memory test when u turn the pc on)) it should bring up a menu with safe mode as a option, then see if the links can be followed.
have you got any anti virus software installed? |

| yea, i got norton firewall, and norton anti virus installed, though the subscription ran out last week. dont know if that has anything to do with it. it takes about 2 mins for the program to stop working. which is quite anoying cus it literaly makes the internet unuseable. |

| try going to http:// windowsupdate .microsoft .com (i put spaces in there so the forums wont make it a link, type it in adress bar) and download all the updates then see if it still causes problems |

Here's the full solution to all of tonights problems that iv figured out helping other forums and users, should help. While affected u wont be able 2 use copy and paste at ALL btw. :)
1) Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >. Administrive Tools
2) You'll have a large list of services, find Remote Control Procedure & Remote Control Procedure Locator.
3) Go into both of their properties, theres 3 drop down boxes for each, drop the same on all "Restart Service" (if error occurs).
C) Go here (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp) and choose ur Operating System and download the patch. (64 Bit is for dual motherboards)
Restart the PC - if u have a firewall running u should get asked about a program called msblast.exe wanting to access the internet, deny it.
Press CTRL + ALT + DEL and look for a program called MSBLAST.EXE - stop it running then delete the following file "C:\Windows\system32\msblast.exe".
Do the following "Start >> Run >> MSConfig >> Startup".
Look for msblast.exe and untick its box then apply settings > OK.
Also, "Start >> Run >> Regedit" then search for MSBLAST then delete the two keys u find.
Download ALL the critical updates from Windows Update. |
