Being driven nuts by friends system problem.
She's lost internet connectivity but her MSN appears to be working fine???
Cannot access internet via internet explorer - no response. Cannot access
control panel, again, no response. In fact little appears to be working!!
Have noticed "Limewire" on system?
Don't want to "restore" if I can help it.
Anyone know whats going on?
