Very timely... Just spent too much time trying to fix a
"resolving host "
problem, that has so many causes, that there are thousands of posts, purporting to be "fixes"...
Also, an oddball Chrome problem where all other browsers are OK, but Chrome
resizes/changes resolution to 8 bit color.
... and my favorite... the formerly "great" websites for downloads are now requiring you to use their installer.. which usually pimps for other companies by sneaking in anti-virus programs, "fix my computer" programs, or othr stuff you don't want or need. I get tired of reading the "read this" agreement files which sometimes go to many pages.
Not sure where, but somewhere betweeen Elder Geek, CNet, FileHippo or similar websites, I picked up the dreaded Conduit A disease. (you'll know if you get it)
But all of these problems pale into insignificance when one tries to use the Windows Help files... In regard to my problem with "resolving host" I came upon a Microsoft forum thread... suggested as an answer. Hey... no kidding.... The customer asked about this, and followed through with the "tech"... 127 posts... every other one, suggesting a reboot, and requiring a copy of the registry file involved. Five stars for persistence for both tech and customer, but on the 127th post, the tech gave up...
enough the rant
Not germaine here, but passing on a free maintenance file for PC's that works really fast, for cleaning, repairing and general file work. Things like defragging, register cleaning and removing duplicate files and a dozen other maintenance projects... are almost twice as fast as the Microsoft, and even the most well known system maintenance files like System Mechanic and CCLeaner. Might be worth a try...
