    Time to time my internet stops working. I then have to click the Diagnose and repaire button. After i do that all my setting get changed. I have to put back my fav list, my background, my internet options, and many more things. This gets very frusterating because i have to go throught the process of changing everything back they way i like it. why does this happen and how can i stop it from happening againe?

    Do not click "Diagnose and repair"

    When something like this happens, I usually just close all windows and open up a new one and all is fine again.

    If you are using Explorer, try using Mozilla, as it maybe software related to IE

    We need some information about your computer...

    1. Which windows are you running on?
    2. Are you on your battery or plugged in?
    3. Are you using LAN or WiFi?
    4. Are you using a router? What kind?

    I guess I would try Firefox. I don't know too much about IE cuz I hate it so I've been using Firefox ever since.
