<div>
I did not try to reinstall Chrome since I have the same problem with Internet Explorer. &nbsp;Also I assumed that the only reason Firefox is working is because it does not use the main Windows DNS settings and Chrome does.<br />
<br />
I will try sfc/scannow and let you know. &nbsp;I always forget about this because I cannot think of a single time that it has ever corrected anything for me. &nbsp;But there is always a first...
</div>


<div>
unfortunately, sfc/scannow did not find any problems. &nbsp;Just for the heck of it, I will uninstall Chrome and reinstall it.
</div>


<div>
Well I uninstalled Chrome and used Firefox to go back and download and reinstall Chrome but it will not install because the Chrome installer tries to use the Internet and it can't.
</div>


<div>
Lius, I forgot to tell you that I had tried everything in that link the other day when I ran across it during a Google search with no joy.
</div>


<div>
I am a little disappointed that no one else has any suggestions???<br />
<br />
Normally at this point I would have given up and simply reinstalled Windows 7 but the customer has lost all of his installation disks and Codes for both Windows and all software during his move to an assisted living facility. &nbsp;It is a custom built computer with no Windows Sticker and has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 installed and no recovery partition or OS backup. &nbsp;He also has a ton of software for photo and video editing, so it would not only be a real pain but also very costly to Reinstall Windows and all software.<br />
<br />
I would really love to solve this issue if anyone has any other suggestions?
</div>


<div>
Just a shot but Chrome will not install cause it uses IE or FF to install? Is FF the default? If you create another user does the same happen on that account?
</div>


<div>
Same problem with a new user. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I completely overlooked trying this. &nbsp;I have spent so much time messing with this that I totally forgot to try a new user account. &nbsp;Another set of eyes is always helpful. &nbsp;Thank you! &nbsp;That would have been an easy fix...<br />
<br />
FYI-Chrome still will not install even with FF set as default. &nbsp;Error &quot;&nbsp;Unable to connect to the Internet&quot;
</div>


<div>
Yes, I setup a new user profile and exact same problems with everything. &nbsp;Still cannot install Chrome and Same problems with IE.
</div>


<div>
Well, I have pretty much given up on this and have installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7, which is working fine now. &nbsp;I still have a lot to do as far as Windows updates and sorting out all the software and License numbers, so if anyone has any further Ideas on fixing the original problem, I can still go back to the original hard drive.<br />
<br />
So any further suggestions would be welcome.
</div>


<div>
One last thought... I am going to try upgrading to Windows 10 (Which normally, I would not recommend), and see if that solves the issue. &nbsp;This would still be better than having to deal with installing and having pay a small fortune for new software. &nbsp;I will keep you posted...
</div>


<div>
Strange, i guess the last thing to try is reinstall windows see if its solve.<br />
Out if ideas
</div>


<div>
None of the suggestions solved the problem and had to reinstall Windows

I have been working on a Windows 7 ultimate 64 computer where I am having and issue with Internet Access. &nbsp;Networking Icon show network Connection with Internet but IE and Chrome will not open any webpages. &nbsp;IE gives me Page can't be displayed and Chrome give me &quot;Site can't be reached&quot; DNS address could not be found. &nbsp;DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAI<wbr />N. &nbsp; <br />
I can ping Google and other sites.<br />
<b>Firefox works</b><br />
Windows updates works<br />
This is what I have tried:<br />
System Restore Failed completely<br />
Full scans and cleaning with CCleaner, Malwarebytes, ADwcleaner, TDSSkiller, RogueKiller, Combofix<br />
Uninstalled MSE security<br />
Disabled Windows defender<br />
netsh winsock reset all<br />
netsh int ip reset all<br />
Flushed DNS<br />
Cleared HOSTS files<br />
Set Static IP and DNS settings<br />
Many other things that I don't even remember.<br />
I am pretty sure it is a DNS problem but can't find a solution.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
