Cannot get access to the internet
rhuffman:
Local host is 127.0.0.1 like you said, did your next suggestion, drive c: did not have the windows dir, it was on drive d: did all commands and it overwrote as expected. Botted and it did not work, still no access to the internet.

Bought a 5 terabyte drive and am going to copy all downloaded program i want to keep and the torrents to drive and then do a factory restore. This has gotten to be a impossible fix.
Boggin:
Then it isn't the registry that is causing the problem.
Did you check Device Manager that the Network adapters weren't displaying yellow alerts or red crosses ?
When you say you are going to copy all of the downloaded programs you want to keep, you can only reinstate those from a system image which would defeat the object of a factory reset as you cannot just copy a program back in.
Any programs you have will need to be reinstalled afresh after the reset, but after reinstalling your AV program then the Windows Updates, check connectivity after each reinstall or any of your files and don't do them en-bloc - as something in those must be the cause.

hi, rhuffman,
While installing afresh, i would request you not to have the torrents, as it is the culprit in slowing your computer or taking full download speed. I have already told thro my posts that how the torrent kills internet speed. Only Windows OS could be copied. Programs registries are written when you are installing a program or application. As Boggins suggests , You could only copy the installation effectively. For all other programs you have to reinstall. For other files, you could copy to other drives other than the OS installed drive

Guys I am not going to copy dirs of programs already installed, I will copy over moves and programs I downloaded from the net that are completed downloads. All games and programs I have installed I will reinstall after restore. I have a lot of TV show torrents that I want to finish downloading. I guess I can backup the torrents to other drive. Will search drive for all torrents and remove them to other drive and I will also virus scan them all. But first thing I must do is restore my 4tb drive, partitino table scrambled, will transfer those files to 5 tab drive, then wipe 4 tb drive and repartition and format it. I used bel arc to get serial numbers and info of system. This is going to be a long and painful restore.
