I have just built a new computer with an asus board and amd 64 bit chip. Loaded Vista Ultimate 64. Fairly clean install at this point with the OS updated with all recommended patches.

Strange problem I am having is "only" via explorer can I access the web. Installed Firefox AND also tried Sahara (apple) and neither can access the web.


very strange....

Almost sounds like a "permissions" problem to me. Have you tried to run these programs as an administrator?
