Connected to internet, but browser will not open

I have an HP Pavilion  23 All in One.  After a power outage, the browser will no longer open, even though I am connected to
the internet via Wi-Fi.  Except for the internet, all other computer functions are working just fine.
I am using Windows 8.
Does anyone know how to fix this.  All other computers in the house are working via Wi-Fi without any problems.
Thx

Hi,
Open a Command Prompt and enter "ipconfig/release"  (without quotes)
Then enter ipconfig/renew
Also try ipconfig/flushdns and ipconfig/registerdns
Are you using IE? Set defaults in Internet Options, Advanced tab. (See below).
Shut down cable/DSL modem and router. Unplug both from AC power for a couple of minutes. Reconnect devices to AC power and energize.
Still having an issue? Run the System file Checker. Instructions are here.
Run boot time hardware diagnostics on the patient.

  • Firefox "starts" but browser will not open on desktop

    When I click to open Firefox min Windows 7, the program loads, i.e., I can see the window on the Aero Bar, but the browser will not open on my desktop. I have redone my profile and that seems to solve the problem for a while, but then the same problem reoccurs. This happened with four different profiles. When I do get the browser open on the desktop, I find a load of error messages in the error console.

    Hello Joseph.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Safe mode] will do it easy, if you can't hope Firefox.

  • Hardware wirelessly connected to internet, but browser is not

    Hi,
    My T61 laptop is only 5months old.  Two months ago it started giving me the following problem:
    My computer claims that it is connected to a wireless network with a good signal strength.  However when I open my Firefox browser, it does not connect to the internet.  Sometimes it does connect with no problems, and sometimes it connects with a very slow speed.  Through all of this my computer still claims I am connected to a wireless network with good speed.
    Sometimes I have to disconnect and connect a couple of times to my network (and other networks that I need to use) for me to be able to use my browser.  I have no idea why my computer does this.  This also happens with IE.
    The extended warranty unfortunately does not cover "software issues" so I have no idea what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet.

    My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet. When I go on safari, it says that "Safari can't verify the identity of the website". Then I tried to update flashplayer but you need the internet to update it. All this only started happening after that Moutain Lion software was downloaded onto the laptop. Please help, I have been internet-less for a couple months now.

  • Internet Explorer 8 will not open

    I have been using Internet Explorer a long time with Windows XP SP3. Just recently I needed to do a download for another application and after that download finished I was unable to use Internet Explorer, I downloaded IE8 to try and fix the problem. It
    didn't. Internet Explorer is the default browser but it will not open in any menus. I can't even open Help and support either, a lot of applications worn't open now for some reason. Any sugestions??

    Hi, 
    Based on the current situation, I would like to suggest you use the following methods to check the issue:
    1. Check Your Antivirus & Firewall. Most of the time, the problem is with your antivirus or antispyware. In fact, incorrect settings in your antivirus and antispyware create problems not only with Internet Explorer but any browser or application requiring
    data transmission over a network. To check if they are the cause, turn them off.
    2. Check Your Add-Ons. Add-ons or plug-ins are either added manually or are added with the installation of any application such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.  If Internet Explorer begins working properly, one or more of the add-ons are corrupt, and you should
    follow the method mentioned in the next paragraph to fix the issue.
    3. Check for Conflicts among Processes. There is high possibility that one of the processes on your machine is conflicting with the functioning of Internet Explorer. To check this, you will have to test your Internet Explorer in a clean boot environment.
    4. Return To Defaults. Resetting Internet Explorer restores the browser to the state when it was first installed.
    Hope it helps.

  • I downloaded firefox 3.6.9 but it will not open, says it's corrupted.

    Pretty simple, little icon kept popping up urging me to download the newest version of firefox, I tried twice with the same result. It seems to download just fine, but when I go to run the program it says it's corrupted and won't allow me to continue. Never had an issue upgrading before, so I really don't have any idea why it's not allowing it now.
    And please dumb down any responses, I'm not technologically inclined!

  • Imac G5 OS 10.4.11  Itunes not connect, Safari fine,  new downloads will not open, new install of 10.4.11.4

    Imac G5 OS 10.4.11 Itunes will not connect to radio or store.  Errors out check internet connection.  Safari connects fine. 
    New downloads will not open i.e. ms office critical update, nor Filemaker re-validate registration, also new intaller of itunes 9.2.1 etc.
    After clean install of 10.4 and all updates same problem.
    Other 10.4.11 systems I have work fine on ibook etc. 
    Can I move the system app that opens .dmg files from OK system to imac?  Would that even solve the problem?
    Ramon

    You have 10.4.11 Macs that iTunes can connect to the iTunes Store???
    I was pretty sure they changed to a minimum of 10.6.8

  • My Safari browser will not open.

    My Safari browser will not open.  It simply says Safari quit unexpectedly.  I can open Google Chrome and browse just fine.  Any idea whats wrong?  I have a MacBook Pro, and I'm using OSX Yosemite 10.10.1

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • After updating to Firefox 4 the browser will not open

    I updated to the new firefox 4. Since then the browser will not open. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but this has not resolved the issue.

    I couldn't get it to start at first. Then I found a forum that hade other issues with plugin and firefox 4 where the solution was to start firefox 4 in 32 bit mode and not in 64bit mode. After that it works nice for me.
    It might also be useful to change the setting for the time that scripts are allowed to run.
    dom.max_script_run_time should be set to higher number than 80 according to the support.
    Good luck!

  • How do I install itunes.exe on blackberry passport? I've downloaded file but it will not open.

    I'm trying to download an app that's only available on iTunes. I've downloaded iTunes.exe but it will not open on Blackberry passport. Is there a specific .exe version that I need to download?

    You can't.  iTunes itself runs on Windows PCs or Macs.  Any apps available from the iTunes Store will only run on iPhones or iPads.
