Internet Explorer and Google will not open
Internet Explorer and Google will not open
Hi, I am running win 7 ultimate w service pack1 on an Asus board with 2x2gb ddr2 ram.
Apparently some type of software problem has occurred because I cannot get Internet Explorer or Google to open. Also there is no audio.
The following is what I can see:
1. The machine will boot (1 beep) up into desktop but only a few of the icons are responsive. Most of them say "https://www.the named site.com (application not found)
2 I get a error message under AsVistaAudioControl saying "Get interface IMMDevice failed" which I assume to be related to the audio issue.
3.As to the other issues I think that a repair/install is probably the easiest and best solution as I have found the following information on your site:
How to Do a Repair Install to Fix Windows 7
Published 02 Feb 2009
I have been running the win 7 program for about 2 years and it is activated but I do not know where the installation disc or key is.
I need to save all of my files, programs, etc. that have been accumulated so the repair/re-install needs to be done while maintaining these files.
The machine will connect to the internet but the only way I can access it is through another browser named "Torch". I can type in what I am looking for and usually get to the site I need, but the Torch browser seems to be loaded with a lot of junk such as babylon, which is worse tham a plague.
I would really appreciate any help I can get as these problems are playing havoc with me.
Thanks very much.....rocknroller (Lamar Bailey)
