I cannot access internet Windows XP.

Hello

My name is Tommy and I need help. My desktop computer shows that it is connected to the internet, but when I try to use any application that requires the internet (IE, firefox, chrome, League of legends, etc..) I get a 'connection error' / Web page isn't reachable. Internet works on my parents and my sisters computer, so I don't think it's a problem with the router (even if they're using wifi). My firewall will not turn on either. I tried a reset winsock, but to no avail.  I ran a few antivirus scans and eventually find a sitting trojan.muldrop in my System Volume Information folder, and I deleted it with by Dr.Web CureIt. After the removal of the virus, my computer will still not access the internet, and I can't turn on my firewall. Please help if possible!
Thank you!

    Just don't allow the computer to restart if the part of Revo Uninstaller asks you if you want to restart now or later. Select afterwards and let Revo finish an orphan looking for registry entries. Reboot after Revo ends.

  • Cannot access Internet on Windows Update

    I recently formatted my computer windows laptop. I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic Edition. After a day or two, I am unable to access the internet even if I am connected to the router. I even tried to access Internet through my cell phone using a hotspot. It too its display "NO Internet access. There is no problem with the router or my cell like everybody else uses it and its works very well. So I tried to system restore to a point where I knew I was able to use the Internet. And here it does not work... But even once after the windows update it stopped working. Again, I must use the system restore to make it work.

    I can't find the source of this problem? Because of the windows update or something else?

    The KB2705219 update could be the cause and uninstall that solved the problem for some users.

    To uninstall an update - control panel, programs & features, [left side of the window] see installed updates. Wait until the system has finished the research for the list of updates. Select update required, then right click and Uninstall.

    But...

    In another thread [my computer today installed windows 7 updates, but my internet has been lost.] But the network is visible. [what caused this?] a user has identified this notice - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    While it remains that uninstall the Win7 update than kb2705219 solved the problem for at least two users, you should consider the McAfee fix. At least two users had also reported having removed then reinstalled McAfee earlier in the day and their systems have increased back & run correctly afterwards.

    I had to run the MCPRT deletion a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction.

  • Dell has developed a passwoord and cannot access the Windows XP system on a network share in Windows 7.

    Original title: network router, XP computer and Windows 7 laptop computer dilemma.

    My system XP computer is part of a network using a router. I also have a laptop Windows 7, using the same network. Reference Dell set up a password so that the network is not accessible without password, reducing the risk of piracy. Now, I can not in the XP system because of the defined password.  How to reset or enter the password on the XP computer?

    Hi Scottid2,

    1. do you receive error messages when you access the Windows XP system?

    2. What is the password being set by Dell?

    You can check in the Windows 7 system if the password protected sharing is enabled. When protected by password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer.

    You can turn off password protected sharing and check if it helps.

    For more information, see the articles:

    Why can't I connect to other computers?

    Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

    As the password is set by Dell, you can also consult with support of Dell for the same thing:
