    No Internet Connection except in Safe Mode


    Greetings,

    I purchased my new computer two weeks ago, and hooked up the same DSL modem from my old computer. Once I got the modem hooked up and connected to the internet, I immediately installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus (the six-months free anti-virus software that came with the computer).

    I had no problem with my connection until I restarted the computer to complete the Kaspersky install. Upon restart, IE said I had no internet connection.

    This is my typical routine with my computer now: I turn it on and try to connect. About 20% of the time, I can connect without doing anything. The rest of the time, I have to reboot in safe mode, and the internet connects just fine. Then when I re-reboot in normal mode, I can usually connect (although not every time).

    So the modem works fine, but I can't find what is blocking the connection in normal mode. I uninstalled Kaspersky, and even did a system restore to before the install, but there is no change.

    Sorry for the long post...any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Type msconfig in search and select the startup. If your puter works properly, put services back one at a time to resolve the problem
