Hi,· What type of internet connection do you have?· Was there any changes made prior to this issue?· Do you get any error message when you cannot go online or download? Step 1: Check what happens in safe mode with networking.a. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.b. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.c. When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode with networking" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.d. Then check if you are able to go online. Note: If you are using a wireless connection, then safe mode with networking will not work.Step 2: Examine the host files by referring to the article “How to troubleshoot possible causes of Internet connection problems in Windows XP” http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314095DianaMicrosoft Answers Support EngineerVisit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.
