Yoga 2 - WIn 8.1 Update Problem!!! Internet explorer "This page won't connect"

Purchased a Yoga 2 13" last week running Windows 8.1
Everything was working fine until today.  I downloaded Firefox.  I'm not sure if that caused the problem.  I uninstalled Firefox and the problem still persists.
I can connect to the internet.  My email and Facebook are working fine.  It is just Internet Explorer that won't connect.
I have rebooted my modem/router
Deleted the history and cached info for Explorer
I don't see any other settings about maybe working offline.
Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It happens on other networks too.
I did a system restore and that solved the problem.  Until the windows update went through again.
It is the update that is causing the problem.
This laptop is less than a week old.  how can I figure out what in the update is causing the problem?

  • Win 7 Pro updates to Internet Explorer 11 every web page has blank frames and radio buttons. Updates show only IE11.

    This entry frame on your page has radio buttons, giving me some editing functions - Bold, Italic, Underline, Insert unordered List, Insert Ordered List, Insert Hyperlink, Remove Hyperlink, Insert HTML, etc... but
    I cannot see them.  Ever since updating Internet Explorer to ver 11, there is no going back to IE8.  Your Tech forum monitors keep rehashing the same links that do not answer this snafu.  Your Monitors suggest that the web sites are not running
    because they are not compatible with the newer versions of Internet Explorer - well, even Microsoft's websites?  When you create a new web interface, why would your coding team make it incompatible with your own company's sites? 
    The Monitors suggest our cards can't handle GPU and we should turn to software rendering.  My card is a GeForce GTX 50 TI and has, according to the manufacturer web site: "Microsoft®  DirectX® 11 Support
    DirectX 11 GPU with  Shader Model 5.0 support designed for ultra high performance in the new API’s  key graphics feature, GPU-accelerated tessellation."
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE and Microsoft must realize no customer wants to have the technical side string them along with pointless and futile misdirection to a garble of automatic chat responses that offer incomplete and unrelated fixes
    and then expect to gain points in the voting buttons that "this fixed my problem". 
    Microsoft: you are ignoring compatibility problems with your coding and pretending it is arises from hardware incompatibility or user stupidity.  Your code should be running seamlessly, should accommodate existing technologies, and be flexible enough
    to accept limitations of older hardware, older websites, and your monitors should march into Microsoft's development offices and demand answers ---- and fixes.  Has Microsoft gone into hiding when the latest technology show-piece isn't working for the
    rest of the world?  We do not exist in a research bubble.  We are here in the real world, with aging equipment and tight budgets, and we expect better from Microsoft.

    Hi ohernova,
    Sorry for the annoying issue you encountered and our develop team are trying our best to improve the performance of MS products, As I know, IE 11 was published after many technical tests, thus I suspect that it might be an individual case. I used to run
    IE 11 in my win7, and it works perfectly,    
    Here’re some test you may take into consideration:
    Make sure that you’ve installed all latest updates.
    Since your Monitors keeps suggesting that the web sites are not running because it’s a compatibility issue, I suggest you add one site to the compatibility view list for a test, (if you can find the settings in Tools>Compatibility view settings)
    Or click Win+F12, launch the F12 developer tool, click the last option, change the user agent string and document string to “10”, check whether the page can revert to normal.

    The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

    ok   here's more mystery.  i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step.  aqlso installed latest java.  i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                           imdb
                                                                                           hulu
                                                                                           ebaumsworld
                                      here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                           msn
                                                                                           reuters
                                    here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                              bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
    the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't.  also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

  • Trying to update tp Internet Explorer 11

    I am trying to update to Internet Explorer 10 or 11.  I keep getting the message that I need to install Windows7SP! or Server 2008R2SP!.  I have tried to download from the downloads in Windows. I download what it tells me to do but it still isn't
    working and I keep getting the same error message.  What do I need to do?

    Hi,
    As your description, you should first check whether the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is successfully installed: 
    Right click at the computer icon then click properties you will see the Windows Service pack 1 information shown. 
    Then restart the computer and manually download the Internet Explorer and install it:

  • I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!! No help link or anything!!?

    I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!!

    I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
    I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
    You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
    I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
    Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful.

  • I have an Ipad 4 and its been working fine up until the last week, and now it is very unreliable connecting to the internet and loading pages. It connects to the Wifi network without any problems, all my other devices have no problems at all. Any help?

    I have reset netwrok settings, ip addresses are all fine, restarted my router, but I may be missing something. Anyone else having similar problems?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • IPOD MINI&UPDATER PROBLEM!! THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!

    Hello guys
    I just downloaded the newest iPod updater 2006-01-10 for my brother's iPod mini. There was an update necessary. So then I install it, plug the iPod into my computer, and it determines that update is necessary. So I then update it. Normal routine. But when it says "please leave the iPod connected while it reboots" or something of that sort, it stays like that. Its not frozen, and Windows still responds. When I try to exit the program, it says "Can't interrupt process." So then I just remove the Mini from with Safely Remove Hardware. Now here's where it gets spookier and weirder. After I disconnect the Mini, I try to play a song. It plays. I try to forward to the next song. It doesn't! I try to rewind to the last song. It doesn't!! I reset the iPod then try it again. It still doesn't! It pauses, plays, and click wheel respongs, but it just doesn't wanna forward/rewind. So then I connect the Mini to my computer, and open the updater, thinking to restore the Mini. Then this dialogue comes up, saying "iPod service error." I can't even restore now. I tried the same thing with the updater 2005-11-17, and does the same thing to me. What is wrong? Has anyone had this similar or same problem? Is this because of the updater? Now I think I have no choice but to bring it to Apple store...if I can't find a solution to this. Please!! Help!! Thank you!!

    Oh and by the way when I keep holding the forward/rewind button, it can still search (if thats what its called) meaning that I can still go to a certain point in a song I choose so that I can start listening from there.

    When I use Firefox and am on a web site, if I click a link on that web site - like to download a PDF - nothing launches to open the file. The screen - after I click - changes to a blank screen, yet nothing appears. When I do this with MS Internet Explorer, the link immediately launches to whatever I clicked upon.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

    Besides that, please also try to reset your Internet Explorer to check if it helps:
    1.Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.

    3.Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click Internet options.
    4.Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click Reset.
    5.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
    6.When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click Close, and then tap or click OK. You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
