 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
it started about 4 days ago and I cannot sort the issues out.
basically I cannot use chrome any more or Skype and update some of my antivirus software (avast/avira). it keeps saying I am not connected to the internet 😡
have factory reset my laptop at least 4-5 times now and to begin with everything seems fine,but then this issue returns (see above).
ah but how am I online now you may ask? well internet explorer is working fine (so much for my internet connection not working eh 😉
please can anyone shed any light as to what's going on (before I chuck the laptop out of the window (only partly joking). am fed up with pc issues happening tbh (am considering getting a tablet to surf the web instead and selling this).
thanks.
Is it Windows 8? I had to go back to Firefox a couple of weeks ago when Chrome just started to hang up on the internet all the time.
yes it's windows 8.1.

Windows 8.1 drove me nuts before I found out that it can often be cured by typing in "netsh winsock reset"
cranberry you are a bloody genius 😀
am up and running again (sent from chrome browser).
thanks a lot 😀
i really was about to chuck the laptop out of the window 😳

You see those 18 little characters ?
They are [b][u]hard[/u][/b]-won knowledge. I cursed the wifi adapter in my laptop and the generations to come from those who designed and built it. I re-imaged it, completely re-installed it, removed and re-installed different versions of drivers. All to no avail. I had problems for months and months.

Then typed in "netsh winsock reset" and all was well in the world once more.

Top tip. Thanks
