Tech Clinic / Internet Troubles
« on: April 05, 2004, 05:05:14 PM »
Hi,
I seem to be having trouble downloading some things from the internet sort of... I cannot connect to Google or Yahoo, whenever I try, the address bar adds things to the begining of the url, so it comes out like http://ehttp.cc/?www.google.com. And my homepage keeps being changed to http://%68%6F%6D%65%70%61%67%65%2E%63%6F%6D%00@%77%77%77%2E%65%2D%66%69%6E%64%65%72%2E%63%63/%68%70/, I've tried going to doing a Windows Update, and it give me an error message.
There is a game I play called horizons, it's a MMORPG, when I tried updating it this morning is when the trouble started. It gave me an error saying that I was not the Admin of this computer or that i don't trust it's digitaly signed content, which I do. I check and made sure I accepted, and IE said I did. So I went to check my admin settings, and they seemed find... I tried changing my name on the account, but it wouldn't let me. It just sat there... I tried making a new User Account and it still just sits there. I also tried downloading and installing The Zone Software (http://www.thezone.com) and it just sat there ignoring it, not doing anything.
This happend last week as well, and I seemed to have fixed it by re-installing windows, but now it's happening all over again.
