OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Browser: IE7 and IE8
.Net Framework 3.5
Serverlight 2
Java Version 6 Update 13
Flash Verison: Unknow
This I am finding rather odd.
My issue started out with not being able to logon to a site. all other links on the page worked fine but when I clicked the logon button I would not go anywhere. The logon button was a javascript submit button so I thought possibly it was a java issue so I went to download the newest java runtime. when I got there I could get to the download page but the download would never start. The page there says if you are having problems you should look at the top of the browser to allow the download because you may have to install the active x control. I didnt think too much of it just yet so I went to the control panel and was able to update java there.
I was still not able to logon
I decided to just try and update every plugin I could think of so I started with Flash and shockwave... Again I cannot install it because I cannot seem to run active x controls.
I enabled or set to prompt every active x control in tools>internet options> Advanced> Settings
Still no luck
What I found next was rather odd, I got a page could not be displayed to google so I I ran a continous ping and found packet loss about 25ish % on each domain I tried.
Next I ran virus and malware scanners including Stinger, Avira, and Pest Patrol.
Pest Patrol would crash when I tried to launch it from the tray or from the start menu items. I had to run the pest patrol updater and it would tell me it was up to date and then launch the actual program... Kinda odd but I went with it...
Avir and Stinger and Pest Patrol found nothing...
I did a regedit and looked in the run items... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
e\Microsof
t\Windows\
CurrentVer
sion\Run and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
e\Microsof
t\Windows\
CurrentVer
sion\RunOn
ce...
The only thing in there was the windows vista media center
I tried doing windows updates and updated from IE7 to IE8... Still no luck...
I reset winsock and the tcp/ip settings using "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" and "netsh winsock reset catalog".
still no
Any Suggestions to try would be greatly appreciated.
