Roffen Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I am experiencing problems like nothing I've never exeperienced before. An XP machine that worked fine yesterday have contracted Rabies . I have always used google search on my machines, but this morning, Yahoo has taken over. How can I get back to using google serach? Even worse is that I can't do anything useful in Win Xp. When I try to connect to msfn, I get a message saying that "to protect against information theft Firefox did not connect with that website" What would I do without Win 10? Maybe use Win 7? I wish I knew how to make Win 7 loook more like XP. Edited August 21, 2018 by Roffen Adding more text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryTri Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Or reinstall Windows XP from scratch if you have the courage (you can attempt a repair install with the Windows XP CD too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdfox7 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 @Roffen That's weird, I have no issues with MSFN on Windows XP with browsers like Chrome 49, Firefox 52.9.0, or Pale Moon 27.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If the issue is limited to a change in the expected behaviour of your browser, I would look into resetting it, trying a different browser, and scan for malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfor Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If a browser complains about problems with https certificates, the first thing to check is the system date. I had quite a few issues with clients complaining about not being able to browse the Internet, when the system date was not right. The change to a different OS would do no good, in such a case, of course. I assumed Windows 10 is on different computer. But, if not, then it is not a case of wrong system date, certainly.
