Computer will not download from the internet
I saw on this site that other people have similar problems with Vista suddenly refusing to download anything on the internet, even if they use a different browser. Personally, I use Firefox and the same problem occurs even if I use IE. I tried all the methods disabiling my Add-ons, restarted my laptop, etc. No one answered that these methods have worked. I don't see if it is malware on my laptop because I can not download the removal tool. I was able to download Vista SP2 and other updates, but that was it. Nothing else does. Is there another way to solve this thorny problem? This issue started back around April of this year after an update for an Ipod.
Try the above and if no help do the following:
Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN
Enter this at the command prompt - sfc/scannow

Windows 7 for Lenovo G50-70 - the computer will not boot from the CD
Hello world
I hope that someone here will be able to help
I bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1. I want to install Windows 7 on that I know well because I can't use the new windows. I changed the settings in the BIOS to get the machine to boot from the CD, but it won't be fair. I also tried to restore the system to boot from the CD, but it installs just the Windows pre-installed, new instead. Also, I can't access the CD from the drive while all my other computers are capable of (what is strange)
Can someone help, please?
See you soon
PS. : I can turn on the computer through the small "boot botton" on the side and select the DVD drive to boot from. But this is not followed by the message "Press any key to boot from CD" and the computer starts just W8 yet;
I contacted customer service and followed your advice. They refused to help him on the ground that there nothing wrong with the machine in their opinion, and since I wanted to change operating system. All preinstalled spyprogrammes Lenovo has been erased with this downgrade. So far, I've owned a laptop computer brand new and expensive for a year I used only to waste my time, trying to make it work, that was not why I bought it in the first place. What a RIP-OFF!

(1) you really have to make it easier to contact support. Get rid of password requirements!
(2) I would copy safely Firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet. Really, we love and use firefox. I had to remove firefox because it came with the virus of Babylon.If you have been Babylon when you installed Firefox you may have installed it from an authoritative source (the only official place and secure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comEast). Please, never download Firefox from anywhere else.
So, for your computers, be sure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comand you download the version official, convenient and safe.
If you get Babylon on your computer, you can remove it easily without having to remove Firefox by reading How to remove the toolbar of Babylon, home page and search engine (Please note that Babylon is not affiliated with Firefox and we actively seek to solve these problems).

Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to

Whenever I launch Firefox 20 Mac OS X 10.7.5, I get the warning message by clicking "" Firefox"is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? ». How can I stop this? There are displays on internet and previous assignments on this resolution by using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a problem of Firefox ONLY, and resolve by disabling the recommended world of security features to OS X, as before in a previously closed thread appears as a solution really BAD. Is there a "Firefox" solution only, or I will have to just to stop using Firefox?
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -

Hello
I just installed a new router and now my desktop running xp computer does not connect to the internet. I know that it is not the router because I plugged the cable into my laptop running 7 and it works fine. When I try to dhcp I get 169..., when I put manually the IP just get no access to the internet and can not ping to the router address. I tried to run the net work Assistant, emptied my dns, disabled all firewals, still nothing.Any suggestions?original title: connectivity LimetedThe zero configuration utility works very well. But it is a desktop computer and on cable. All other wired and wireless PC in the office is working well, then it's definitely this PC. He came out of nowhere, I install a network printer on the PC but that's all.
Your messages are a bit terse, but if I understand correctly
- You have a router connected to the Internet and multiple computers connected to the router, some Ethernet cable and others by wireless.
- All but one of these computers can reach successfully from the Internet via the router.
- A computer that can't browse the Internet is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable.
- You disconnected the cable between the router and the desktop problem and connected it to a Windows 7 laptop and the laptop connected to the Internet via the router.
- You haven't seen any error message (except, perhaps, a message on "Limited or no connectivity").
- You have installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 (or at least Service Pack 2)
Assuming that all the foregoing is an accurate summary of the situation, I suggest that you do the following:
Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
Type the following lines and press ENTER after each lineNetsh reset winsock catalog
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txtClose the command prompt window and restart the computer.
