On sunday I upgraded from Vista home premium to W7 home premium. Since then I have had nothing but problems. I sat on the phone with micosoft last night for more then two hours just for them to tell me they would refer me to a tier 3 tech and they will call me back tonight.
Here is the problem. Some of my programs connect to the internet, some do not. Here is the list:
Those that connect:
Ventrillo
Foxsports widget/gadget
Windows Update (as long as it doesnt have to contact an outside website)
Those that do not connect:
Aion
NcSoft Launcher
Steam
Curse Client
IE8
Live Messenger
I dont have any sercurity software. I turned off all the firewall, and user account stuff. I check all the program permissions. Now this is where is gets a little strange. If I goto RUN, and search "internet explorer", and I use the on that says Internet Explorer (x64) I can get to a website, but if I use the IE icon that is pinned I cant.
I tried to connect to messenger and it fails. I click on troublshoot, and it fails the DNS. I opened a cmd prompt and:
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
ipconfig/all
I then tried to input all the IP, and DNS information manually, and I still have the same problem.
All while talking to my brother on Ventrillo, and getting update NHL scores.
If anyone has an idea I will give it a shot tonight when I get home. Thank you in advance for everyones help.
