    lost internet settings windows xp home

    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

    No, we can't. This is a .net developer newgroup. Not a 'how do I use
    windows' newsgroup.

    May I ask how you found this forum? We've had a slew of odd questions in
    here as of late.

    groups there are, and i just picked one that said general discussion, can you

    MOst of these newsgroups are for developers. So, I can't really suggest any
    of them for this particular question. I'd suggest hunting down a good
    windows discussion forum on the web.
