I can't connect to the internet with any program besides Internet Explorer
and Windows Messenger. I am a teen and I have a lot of games on my PC but
NONE connect to the Internet. Please help. AIM doesn't even work, but MSN
works, anyone know anything about this?

For ANYTHING that requires a connection to the internet, it says that it
doesn't have an internet connection.

I get the Error Code: 80070424

Windows what? Service pack what?

When did it work last and what changed?

Why did you choose the "Windows Update" newsgroup to post your query? Did
this start after installing a certain Windows Update?

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan (separately) with the
following two applications (freeware versions are the ones to use for this):

SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/

MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/

After performing a full scan with one and then the other and removing
whatever they both find completely, you may uninstall these products,
if you wish.

Sorry i posted it in this section. Like i said, i'm a teen, so i'm not all
good with computers.

All i know is that it's Windows Vista but i haven't a clue on what pack...

this has been going on for 6 months but it got annoying when none of the
programs connected. This led me to post it where ever i could find help (This
is where i thank you.)

The Scan is in Process now (SUPERAntiSpyware)

Perhaps your parents installed parental control software because they don't
want you to play online games or chat via AIM?
