Hello
 

1. what update Windows have you installed recently? Do you remember the number?

Method 1.
a. navigate to the file HOSTS in [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] rename the HOSTS for HOSTS.old file and restart the computer.
(b) if that does not solve the problem of amazon.com, restore the HOSTS name (without the extension).
 
 
Method 2.
Try to clear the DNS Cache.
a. Click Start and type cmd into the search bar and press ENTER.
b. in the command prompt type
ipconfig/flushdns
and press ENTER.
c. close the command prompt, and then delete all the temporary files and check out them.
i. click on start and type folder in the search bar and then press ENTER.
II. delete all files in the folder and restart the computer and check.
 
 
I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Mice are not appearing after the last update of Windows 8

    After update to the last version of windows 8, my mouse does not work on my computer no more. I use a "HAMA Optical Mouse AM-5000" and a 64-bit Windows 8 operating system to my office. Before the update, everything worked very well, but a little at the time (perhaps a week?) there was a software update that began when I shut down my computer for the night and after, my mouse wouldn't just appear. Then I want to restore my computer to before the update and everything would work fine. It happened maybe 3 times in the past week. Today, however, every time that I restored it to an earlier date, the mouse still does not. I tried the following things:

    Deactivation and reactivation of the mouse
    Uninstall the drivers and search for updates
    Try different mouse (2 USB, 1 green connector)
    Using the troubleshooting in the Device Manager tool, a fine of the question
    Non of them did it no matter what and I wonder if I'm the only one to receive the problem. and what I can do about it. Trying to navigate in windows using only the keyboard becomes very annoying XD.
    Thanks for the reply of Kevin,

    In the (Control Panel > system and security > Windows Update > View Update History) all there is "you have not tried to install the updates for this computer. There "18 updated important and 5 available optional updates to install, but I think that those who might be updates that have been the cause.

    In the (Control Panel > programs > programs and features > Installed Updates) there are a bunch of installed updates. The most recent is "Word Viewer 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3): WDVIEWSP3" which has been installed on 26/09/13 and "update for Microsoft Windows (KB2889543)" which has been installed on 25/09/13.

    I downloaded the latest drivers from the mouse on the site that you have linked and no change. By chipset are you referring to the processor (Intel i7)?

    the advantage of this feature to scan https is at least questionable. in order to make it work, avast has sort of a man-in-the-middle 'attack' in order to access the contents of the encrypted connection (firefox supports a feature called pinning of key which can be used by Web sites to address these MITM attacks and who also seems to pick up interference from AVAST).

  • After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

    Hello

    After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

    May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

    Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

    Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

    Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

    Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

    Thank you

  • I accepted the last update. Now, I can not display to the right of the main Itunes store, where top songs, etc would be. As the screen does not. Only on the HOMEPAGE of ITUNES STORE! Help!

    I accepted the last update. Now, I can not display to the right of the main Itunes store, where top songs, etc would be. As the screen does not. Only on the HOMEPAGE of ITUNES STORE! Help! I've tried everything. Google it. Searched through itunes, etc. It MUST be a bug, because it started right after I accepted the 12.3.3 update on my laptop running Windows 7 32.

    I count on the part of the main screen, which is not. Its strange. PLEASE HELP ME! In addition to the main page of the Itunes Store, everything else works fine as before. Music from my library work screens, etc.

    I also have exactly the same problem since the last update. Tried to find a way to solve the problem but no luck. Someone please help!

  • Did not receive the last updates of Windows XP.

    Original title: update XP final

    I have not received the final updates for XP today. I tried to install them manually but can't because support for XP is completed. Is there a way I can get them?

    Yes, as of April 8, 2014, these are the latest updates for Windows XP, but since Microsoft has confirmed publicly that they will continue to develop and test the Windows XP security updates - since they are obliged under contract to the many millions of PCs under enterprise agreements including groups like the Government of Britain and the Netherlands.

    So, finally Microsoft kind of will have to offer updates for Windows XP for at least another year.

    They also distribute updates for Windows XP Embedded (plus all ATMs in the world), it is another way of development for those same updates :)

  • WiFi connection issue after the last update of Windows

    After that the last Window XP updated, I faced a problem connecting wifi internet.

    I (and others I know) get the question when trying to connect to the wifi. One of my friends has windows 7 and had the same problem. Personally, I have two laptops (Thinkpad T43 and T60), the T43 has only been affected. I did a lot of tests (tests of ipconfig, ping, etc.) and found what could be the problem.

    I found that I was not able to conect to my router. I changed my wifi to no (no wep or wpa key) security configuration. At that time, I was able to connect to the internet. I changed my wireless security to WEP key with special characters again and wasn't able to reach my router connection. However, when I changed my WEP key of only alphanumeric characters that has worked. With the WPA key, I am not able to connect to my wifi.

    My laptop is an old but a friend to me as a new brand.

    I have the feeling that there could be a conflict with some brands of wireless cards. I have an Intel Pro 2200BG in the T43 a different in the T60. In my tests, I used the same configurations as my other laptop which doesn't have any problem. I used the same radio channel and values. I would like to get the thoughts of an expert to properly solve the problem

    Thank you

    Problem fixed

    With 2 other people with the same problem (one called me an hour ago!) after the last window xp SP3 update and glancing again Ipconfig. I found that the tcp/ip seem to have been corrupted by the update. Then, I applied the following command at the command prompt: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt , and then restart the computer.

    This time, the command ipconfig showed information that makes sense! And three laptops with windows XP pro SP3 were able to successfully connect to any Protocol (wpa, wpa2, wep).

    I conclude this post by saying that, probably one of the last update of security for windows XP corrupted the TCP/IP Protocol and we had to reset correctly to solve the problem.

  • Monitor flashes after the last update of Windows

    I use a newer computer that already had Windows 7 pre-installed.  After the last update my monitor started flashing.  It didn't happen in Mode safe and I could not diagnose any systemic changes that can occur.  He also doesn't seem to be a problem with the refresh rate.

    I ended up coming back to a restore point from before the update.  The problem occurred after the following updates have been installed: KB2719857, KB2735855, KB2736233 and KB2741355.  Someone knows that could have caused the problem, and if so do I really need?

    All updates have been classified as '' Important '' that's why I didn't question them.

    However, it seems that my monitor was kaput.  It happened to be a coincidence that he begins to not just after a Windows update.

    I thank everyone good help.  I'll keep updating in mind suggestions, in case something strange happens in the future.

  • ITunes screen keeps flashing on and off since the last update on windows PC.

    Hi, since the latest itunes update, my screen flashes on and off whenever I am in itunes.  ITunes crashes regularly.  I am able to download music without problem.  The flashing light does not occur when I'm in my own music, just at the moment when I am on itunes.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for the help!

    Download iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ 12.3.2.35 and reinstall.  Apple have eliminated a update in the last 24 hours (which very badly, they identified as a separate release or generation) which sets store flashing screen which affect the initial version (9 December) of 12.3.2.35.

  • Mute turns do not Off / Audio doesn't work don't not since the last update of Windows 8?

    I don't know if it is caused by the update of Windows 8 for a few days, but the problem started around then.

    The audio on my laptop does not work. The 'secret' remains switched on, even when I press the physical keyboard button to activate the sound and try to activate the sound with my mouse in the menu volume. Nothing to audio.

    Laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC running Windows 8 Pro 64 - Bit.

  • Problem after the last update for Windows 7 (11.11.2015): flashing in normal mode login screen

    Original title: update

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    a. you have any Windows 7 installation media?

    b. What is the update's KB number?

    [To see which articles updates failed, try the following steps:]
    a. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    [ b. in the left pane, click view update history.]

    If the update number is KB3097877, then reinstall the update KB should solve the problem. However, as you can not reach your office, I would first run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    If you are able to reach the office, and then try to Uninstall then reinstall the KB3097877 update and check if it helps resolve the issue permanently.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.
