Hi, I've got an odd issue with my Lenovo laptop running Windows 8.
Certain programs or installers give me a popup stating that "Cannot connect to internet, please try again".
Although each program has a different way of stating the issue, that is the overall message I receive whether via the iTunes Store, Windows Store or even installing a program that needs a connection to begin installation.
I can connect to my WiFi just fine and can check my email, watch videos and listen to music but for some reason it's like these programs cannot detect an internet connection. I have tried restarting my computer as well as using the Recovery option as well. I disabled my firewall and anti-virus for a couple minutes in case it was preventing any specific connections and I also checked my Network Adapters in my Device Manager and all seems to be working fine.
I'm unsure what to do next and since I'm trying to reformat a hard drive (with a program that gives me the connection error) I'm kind of at a stand still and felt I've exhausted my resources (including a lengthy Google search)
Any help or just a point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
