Internet Connection Problems
 

whenever i try to play any game or i try to use msn it doesnt work. im mostly concerned about msn cause i got a few games to work by a reinstall. whenever i go to http://www.msn.com i can see the homepage but i cant download msn messenger (the files become corupt), i cant check my hotmail address (the page is unable to be displayed), and i cant really do anything but a search on it. please help me. should i just reformat? my uncle had come over and disabled alot of stuff on this computer could that be the case? im gettin pissed off cause i cant really do anything except use IE and AIM...

Man... could be so many things. If it's been a long time since you've done it,
I recommend a fresh start. Always better than "patching"...

well its not a firewall cause i disabled it. its not spyware i got rid of it all. i wanna try everything but reformatting...
