I know I could go to a computer-nerd forum and read forever - but I do not want to. I thought I might get lucky and find someone here who has had the same problem - and - found a fix.
My wife's laptop slowly started losing the ability to get to certain Websites. Over the past week, more and more of them stopped working.
In fact - since I knew this place (YT Mag) is working fine from my computer - I tried it on her's and NO.
Like I said, some places it gets to fine. Google search - yes. Yahoo search - no.
We have two other computers in the house in the same wireless network and with them - all the sites work.
It has Windows 10 Home edition. We tried various browsers and that made no difference. Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.
Unhooked all ant-virus programs and the Windows firewall.
I found a few people at forums that "fixed" their machines by wiping the hard-drive and doing a fresh install of Windows 8 instead of 10.
So, we just went to Walmart and bought a new laptop so my wife can transfer all her data. When done - I guess I will attempt to fix this thing and keep it for a spare.
