August 30, 2009

*i dont know if i have a software or a hardware problem. this is what i see…

This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP to run on your computer.

-To set up Windows XP now, Press Enter.
-To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
-To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

If I hit ENTER, this is what it says:

-To set up Windows XP on the selected item, press ENTER.
-To create a partition in the unpartitioned space, press C.

if I hit D to delete the partitions(?), a blue screen pops up showing this:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart this computer……

etc…etc… (I’m sure you know what this screen says)

Where do you find the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443), and FTP port (21) on your computer?

August 29, 2009

I can connect to everything but the Internet explorer. I did a Network DIagnostics for Windows XP and I get this.

Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. This is probably caused by firewall settings on this computer.

Check the firewall settings for the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443), and FTP port (21).

You might need to contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or the manufacturer of your firewall software.

Help me on how to get the Internet explorer working again. Thanks
