  1. You had already checked the things and attempted fixes that would have fixed 95% of Windows <whatever version> problems.

    Under the hood/beyond the visual stuff, 7 is not that different from XP - at least in the basic 'way things work', e.g. the hosts file is still there, command line commands are all still there (with some new ones).

    Now, Active Directory 2008 versus 2003, or Exchange 2010 versus 2007, there are major differences. Had my fill of fun today to last me all year...

    Hey now, don't try to get this thread back on track.

  2. I still have a system 32 folder, just thought that the sys64 looked odd. Win 7 new to me, i have not seen that on any of the XP computers i had.

    looking for proxy settings tab

    Yeah, 7 threw me off to. Especially the x86 stuff. I have 64 bit and was like what the heck is x86. 86 bit?? Had jporter explain it to me.

    Yeah, you would be, I think he stumbled upon the WOW64 folder while looking for his hosts file, and wondered what it is.

    If his \system32 folder had gone bye-bye, he wouldn't be able to boot the machine, so he'd have much bigger issues than stupid IE not cooperating.

    Yeah, I reread it and realized what he meant.

  3. The \sysWOW64 folder is supposed to be there, no worries.

    You should still have a \system32 folder.

    Just to confuse you:

    - On 64-bit Windows, the \System32 folder contains 64-bit binaries (programs).

    - The \sysWOW64 folder contains 32-bit versions of the binaries found in the \system32 folder.

    "WOW64" stands for "Windows On Windows 64-bit.

    Clear as mud?

    Uhh, if the /system32 folder is gone isn't he pretty much screwed?

  4. I'll go out on a limb here and guess you're not doing your own DNS hosting, so go to the tcp/ip properties, go ahead and check the "Use the following DNS...", put in the two Google Public entries, Apply, OK, restart IE, see if that doesn't fix it.

    I use www.opendns.com 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

    holy crap... mine too. But I only get occasional missed webpages. Changing it now... durrr

    :lol:
