Up until a week and a half ago I wasn't having any problems accessing webpages. Then I fdisked my computer--which I've done in the past with this computer & others (in other words I know what I'm doing ;))--all was fine and dandy until two days later my computer refuses to boot all the way up. It gives me a message that it can't find 'lsass.exe' and restarts...over again. As I've never had a problem with viruses, I never bothered to make a rescue disc for my anti-virus program (AVG) and had to fdisk the computer. That went well. Then I started having problems accessing web pages through any web browser other than AOL. I like to use Firefox, Mozilla, and separate IE windows, and this hasn't caused problems before. Particularly I can't access LJ outside of AOL, there are other sites but that's the one I've noticed the most since I try to get to it so often. ;) I've tried signing on with free Netzero and I can't access *any* web pages then. This is getting really frustrating as the AOL browser setup is limited. Does anyone have any idea as to what's the problem?
