Help! I can ONLY connect to the internet in safe mode! I thought it was my internet connection at first but when i called them to see if the could tell me what was wrong, they told me that my internet connection was fine and that it was something wrong with my computer. We then tried to connect to the internet in safe mode and i got an internet connection! It WILL NOT let me do anything in "regular mode". What could be wrong? Do i have a virus? If i do how can i fix it? Help! Uggh safe mode is so annoying!

What is your operating system? You posted the same message in the 2000 section

Is this a new problem? Were things working OK previously? Any new hardware and or software?

Also: look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for X errors. Click error line for details.
Post back the source & event id & Description especially of errors that seem to coincide with this issue.
Also check the Information lines that might coincide with this issue.

Also view your Error Log via:
[1] Start Menu
[2] Help and Support
[3] Pick a Task
[4] Tools
[5] Advanced System Information
[6] View the Error Log

Also get an ipconfig from Safe Mode and Normal and compare the two:

start/run cmd

then type ipconfig /all
