    Hi thanks for your help, Have just noticed there is google desktop now on laptop so clicked it and connected to the internet no problem at all, Is there anyway this can be changed back so i can access the internet through the internet explorer tab in the start menu?

    Which version of Windows is on the laptop?
    You can't access the internet at all, or you can access it but it's slow?

    If it's slow, my guess is it's trying to download several gazillion Microsoft updates, to bring the operating system etc back up to date.

    Its windows vista that is on the laptop.

    When accessing it through internet tab in start menu it takes about 5 mins to come up and then the home page takes ages to load up.

    I did notice that google desktop had been instaled and when search on it,it brings up internet page within seconds but then stops working again.

    Also noticed on internet page when opened after it says waiting for http...... etc etc it then comes up with done with errors on page?
