I got this error message "DNS PROBE FINISHED NO INTERNET"
I TYPED AT C PROMPT: "netsh winsock reset".
It says this action requires elevation (run as administrator) but it does not tell you how to become the "administrator".
Went to Desktop
Right-clicked on chrome icon
Left Clicked "Run as administrator"
Went back into DOS
Typed above at C prompt
It STILL says : "this operation requires elevation (run as administrator)" but it does not tell you how to become the administrator
(Right-clicking the Icon used to work in Internet Explorer, now not working in chrome)
A few min ago, when I clicked the Start Button, I saw no DOS Icon. Now, after pressing the Windows key (in between CTRL and ALT) AND "R" AT SAME TIME, NOW I SEE THE DOS ICON IN START MENU.
RIGHT-CLICKED ON DOS ICON IN START MENU.
LEFT CLICKED "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" NOW - I AM THE "ADMINISTRATOR"!!!
Apparently, even in 2015, Windows 7 still runs inside a "DosShell".
NOW, A NEW DOS "DIALOGUE BOX" POPS UP, BUT THE "C" PROMPT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO
C:\Windows\System32>
(My Dell Laptop is 32 bits)
At this new prompt, I typed "netsh winsock reset"
And pressed Enter.
Now, in DOS, it says that I "Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog"! (whatever THAT IS!!) YAAAAAAY!
AND "you must restart [or reboot] the Computer to complete the reset.
TOOK ABOUT 15 MIN. TO FIX
I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.
So maybe my "winsock", whatever it is, was corrupted by a virus and needed to be reset inside DOS, despite my getting a new Kaspersky Antivirus Dec 25, 2014 (2 yr subscription)
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM OCURRS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
