From: rexy on 7 May 2008 12:58 can anybody help please? Ive just spent 6 frustrating hours trying to recover my pc system. Having downloaded a security program from my isp supplier my pc crashed and although I have recovered the pc it appears that whatever hit me has scrambled my internet connection settings and I can no longer connect. My win.ini file and system.ini files were lost but through your pages have managed to recover them. No matter what I do I cant seem to get to a place where I can reinstate my internet settings. I know I am connected because i am writing this on my laptop which uses the same modem so i believe that side is ok. Where do I look? where are they hiding? system restore doesnt help ca n anybody out there ?? thanks -- retiredandslowsorry
