do a system restore to a date when it worked and see if that fixes it. Start Menu/Programs/Acessories/System Tools/System Restore

If that dont work, run scandisk on yer c drive. Check option to locate problems and option to try and fix them.

Evn If Dat Dosent Work... Ur System Might Hav Got Corrupted... Den Mak A Backup Copy Of All D Data And Reinstall Win...

 

[Boomer]

Reformat n shit.

before you do all that, check to see if your roomies conection is working. If they both died, it's possible that there was a change to your neighbors side.

Why not just have her check her router? It may be something to do with that. Or is that what you said Tim? Lawl.

try the system restore like i suggested

kevin, its just the wireless internet that fooked... wont the system restore redo the whole the computer?

Just do the system restore back to a date where it was working. Everything would be safe. That would be the first step. if that don't work then you should consider drastic measures

If Nothing Works... Reinstall Windows...

i have windows Vista but im trying to remember this by memory for XP if thats what you have.

go to the control panel and go to internet and network connections.

click on the network connections. go to your connection and right click it and hit repair. and see if that fixes it.

System restore doesn't drastically change anything. It only reverts back to your computers settings as a previous date. I think you might be getting system restore with a new system install. Don't worry, you wont lose any files or anything like that. It's a very simple and fast process.

ok, thanks kevin-- i wrote down the steps and ill try it when i get home... just wanted to double check that i wouldnt lose anything before i did all that!

 

[Jersey]
