Internet Explorer Errors
I recently set my computer back to factory settings. I had so many problems I figured it was just best to do this to get the computer back to where it should be...that is fine, the computer works near as good as the day I bought it.
However, I've been having major problems with the internet, windows firewall in particular.
At first the internet worked fine, then it started dying after viewing a few pages. After doing everything I could think of I gave up. I ran a couple spy/adware programs because I had already collected some garbage. This cleaned it a lot and it worked fine...then I would view a few pages, then I would get the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error, but if I refreshed it would load fine.
Also on some pages not everything would load...some images would appear dead, backgrounds wouldn't load etc. I changed the security/privacy settings and that seemed to work ...but then the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error came back.
I finally got the bright idea :-/ ... To disable the protection by Windows Firewall on my connection. Of course now I have no evident problems!
---EDIT---
Now after 10 minutes or so of browsing perfectly, I have "Page Cannot Be Displayed" errors again...but I'm still connected to the internet! I refresh and the page loads fine...any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
