Go ahead and do this - we're going to see if we can use command prompt to rename and replace this file that may be corrupted.

please copy these instructions and paste them into notepad for use while in safe mode

Please reboot your computer into safe mode.

Once in Safe Mode, go to Start > Run type:

cmd

Click OK.

Please copy the following line and paste it into the black window:

CD C:\Windows\system32

Hit enter.

It will go to the next line, then copy this line and paste it in:

rename wininet.dll wininet.old

Hit enter.

Copy this line and paste it in:

CD C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

Hit enter.

Copy this line and paste it in:

copy wininet.dll C:\windows\system32

Hit enter.

Finally, type exit and hit enter.

Then please go into your C:\Windows\system32 directory and make sure there is a wininet.old and a wininet.dll BOTH in there. Please let me know if you run into any problems. You MUST make sure there is a wininet.dll in the system32 directory before you reboot otherwise you will run into serious issues.

Reboot your computer.

I ran through the steps, but no change when I re-booted.

[Excal]

Do you have other accounts?" and if so, is it only this one that it happens?



Excal

[Aslion]

I do not have other accounts.

[Excal]

We are running out of options here. Lets see if this is just some corrupt file on this account. Lets try to make another one.


go to run and type Control Panel

Double-click on "User Accounts"

Go to "Create a New Account" type the new name for the account, then click the Next button. Choose "Computer Administrator", then click "create account". Now reboot your computer and log onto the new account you just created.

Let me know if you are having the same problems on the new account.

[Aslion]
