Gateway MX-8734 (Intel? Pentium? Dual-Core Mobile processor T2060 2 MB L2 cache | 1.60 GHz | 533 MHz FSB), Vista Home Premium
It’s been a dog since day one, but I’ll chalk that up to the fact that it came from BestBuy Worst Service.
In trying to PROTECT my computer, I set up multiple firewalls and anti-virus programs. I took away my internet access by blocking Port 80. Oddly, I could get to HTTPS sites, but not HTTP sites.
I tried everything I could find on Vista and networking for the last couple of months to no avail. Finally, I took it into a local computer shop run by a guy I trust. He’s had it since Wednesday and can’t figure it out.
He’s viewing it as a challenge and isn’t yet to the wipe and reinstall point.
Whatever help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I’ll get a working computer back and Dick will be better educated as to how to fix this particular problem.
Thanks.
