In my other computer my retarded sister did this system restore or sumthing cuse she thinks she freaking smart but shes not and she like disconnected the receiving end of our internet with the computer. She deleted the thing u need to connect with them(i dunno what that is but it would problem help) The computer will send data out but will not recieve any. Or in other words it will send out its ip and junk to cable operators but the computer wont take theirs in to connect to the internet. also, it seems the desktop doesnt show up anymore but i can get around to most things with task manager but i cant get control panel and junk she just had to break the computer with sound and games on it...shes so retarded. anyway any help before i give up and either buy a new computer or get this one fixed for still alot of money ? yeah sry in advance if this is in the wrong spot
and if u need any more reply kthxs
