Salam,
Same happen with me and i resolve this issue by simply uninstalling some security updates. i.e Security Updates KB950749,KB950974,KB938464,KB946648. Uninstall these Updates. or any of it

Hopefully removing SP3 works, if it does let me know!

Damn, I’m having the exactly same problem right now… And yeah, it happened right after I installed SP3. I’ll try uninstalling it now, hope it helps….

I had a feeling that this was the issue. I tried to remove SP3 but it kept failing on me with CRC errors. Though it seems to have cleared itself up so I am not sure if MS has released an update for this issue. I’ve heard a bunch of people have had issues with SP3.

Thanks for dropping by!

Uninstall SP3. I have been working on this for quite quite some time. A lot of people have reformatted their PCs. After flushing DNS umpteen times, reviewing services… I removed SP3 and the computer is good to go.

It does suck though but other issues on her machine make me want to format it. When it takes over 20 minutes to load the Add/Remove Programs control panel when there are only like 15 applications listed worries me. Her iPod is no longer recognized and Windows wants to format it every time she plugs it in. Some other quirky things too.

The only thing that comes to mind here, is there was a very recent update in the high level DNS structure to fit some security bugs. Something to do with outgoing ports are now randomized to help prevent rogue entries.

However,
I have been using Shaw’s DNS as well as 4.2.2.2 with no issues. It would seem to me that if this was a problem not just confined to your sisters machine, that this would come up with a lot more hits on google.
