Quote: Ever since I downloaded SP3, I can't surf the web for whatever reason that is. I don't want to restore my machine again as I have work to do. Thank goodness, I have Mandriva on another partition and I can surf the web with no problems whatsoever.
How strange! I've installed it on two of my home computers now without any ill effects on my web surfing or anyrhing else for that matter! What browser are you using? I'm using IE7.

I'm using Firefox. I did a full system recovery on my machine and whenever I do I install Firefox imediately. I did the update and it seems fine now, very strange. Since I used the full hard drive for the recovery, I had to repartition the drive and I now installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron on the other partition with the sound problem fixed on my Toshiba. That was one of the things that made me go to Mandriva on the Linux partition, but now it's ok except I can't use headphones it won't play any sound through them. I hope they get this fixed for the Realtek ALC861 devices (which is what it is on the Toshiba) because Ubuntu Hardy Heron so far is looking great. The firewall comes on from the installation onset and Firefox under it lets you know imediately if a site is suspicious and blocks it. The only thing I haven't installed is the 3D desktop which on Mandriva is installed by default.
