If you have a 3rd party AV or firewall program installed, then see if either updating to the latest version or uninstalling/reinstalling it may help.

M maeve1941 New Member Messages 6 Nov 8, 2012 #5 Hi, After refreshing windows 8 with no luck and losing a lot of programs etc. I decided to reload windows 7 and forget about 8 for a while. It is more to my liking. Thanks anyway, Mavis My Computer System One OS windows 8 64bit System Manufacturer/Model Sony Vaio VPCL138FG CPU 3.08 GHz Memory 4 GB

Brink Administrator Administrator mvp Messages 25,263 Nov 8, 2012 #6 Ok. When you're ready for Windows 8 again, be sure to do a clean install with it instead of an upgrade install.
