Hi. I already backed up all my stuff. I have no other way to format the disk though. I'm working off a mini laptop. I think I may need to buy a fresh hdd if that's the case then, but I want to avoid that because, 1) I'm about all out of cash for the week. 2) Probably a stupid question, but if I...

I knew I wasn't making any sense before. After searching the file path, we now have a clue as to what the problem is. According to someone elsewhere, Windows apparently cannot verify this file. This is the text I see below whenever I try to boot. Begin=========================== Recovery The...

Thank you for your answer there Solandri. I've already tried OpenDNS and it doesn't work. I'll give the Google one a go although I'm not keen on it, but there you go. I'll let you know how things go! Thanks again.

I can connect to the internet via Wi-fi but its slow and unreliable. I can connect to my network via Ethernet, but not to the internet.

Yep. All my devices are working fine. Just not the laptop. So it may not be the DNS then? IE tells me its DNS, but it may have diagnosed the issue incorrectly?

I have a problem with my computer. Before I could access the internet easily without issue. There were some sites I couldn't access all of a sudden and its the reason for the system restore. The last restore point was a "windows update" and I resorted it back to that day I updated the laptop. Of...
