My laptop has trouble with the internet. When I first start the computer, the internet works great. I use internet explorer. I would like to use yahoo browser but somehow, I can’t download it. I have a CD but it’s corrupted. I tried downloading it from the Yahoo Software website, but it didn’t work. Anyways, if I hibernate my computer, and I use it again, the internet explorer won’t work.
It says:
The address is not valid. For every website, it says that. This problem occurs over and over. Please help me!!!
I tried to use the Windows connection diagnostic but it says
There might be a problem with one or more network adapters on this computer.
Then there’s three options:
briefly: turn on wireless capability – I use a DSL Modem – AT&T
automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter "Local Area Connection" – tried this numerous times doesn’t work
and: a problem with your network router or broadband modem might be preventing an internet connection
Please help!!!
My computer is 3 weeks old. How do I reinstall the adapters? I don’t even know what a network adapter is. Before I used to use the battery but now I charge it whenever I use it. One more thing, recently, like this week, I’m in the middle of browsing the internet, and it tells me my internet proxy server can’t be found or something similar. I’m so confused.

There might be a problem with one or more network adapters on this computer. Theres your answer. reinstall correct adapters.
You might try disabling Hibernate (temporarily), clear all your cookies and temporary Internet files, run Disk Cleanup (or some cleaner utility), run Defragmenter, then do a restart. Once back up, then re-enable Hibernation and see if it behaves better.
how old is your computer if it is more then 5-10 years then it might be time for you to get a new one.Just my opinion
get mozilla-firefox – i had similar problems with my laptop too, until i started using firefox. also, do you maintain your battery, by regular charging and discharging it? i don’t take my laptop anywhere, and i had to just remove the battery i had so many problems. good luck
