A new problem for me
Long story short,everything was fine fine until I came back from 5 days away.My ISP had cut my phone line.That is now all sorted and I can connect fine but the connection icon is crossed out !? There was an update but now I cant open things like Windows Mail,even msconfig or cmd wont start even when left on for 6 hours ! I`ve spoken to Microsoft but they want $80 to assist me and I suspect all they will tell me is to reinstall Vista.Unfortunately I dont have the disk ( PC vendors swear they sent it,I say they didnt ) Strange thing is my games (eg Crysis ) all seem to work fine,even online so I really dont know how to fix this. If I can get hold of a Vista install disk,will that work ? I have the code numbers .
I had connection problems once before(after a previous update,would you believe !) Microsoft suggested at the time that I uninstall my Anti Virus (PCCillin ).Stupidly I followed their advice but once I got my conn. going(no thanks to them ) I could`nt reinstall it ! As a stop/gap measure I down loaded Microsofts trial version of LiveOneCare but even that won`t work now. I`ve tried to do a system restore but that wont start either,
Can anyone offer any suggestions ?
