ok here is my problem.
recently i installed an ssd in my alienware m17x r3 everything went fine, i kept the original dive as a seconadry and left the original o/s on there too, (windows 7 home premium)
so far so good, now just recently i have noticed when i visit some sites or try to download certain files i get a "internet explorer cannot display the web page" blank page message with a box saying diagnose connection problems.
there are NO connection problems
for example today i tried to download the catalyst 12.4 drivers from guru3d.com, i get right to the final stage before the download where you have to click " i agree " and this is when it buggers up.
as a process of elimination i booted into my secondary original drive and the file downloaded perfectly i clicked the " i agree " box and the file came up at the bottom of the page run/save/cancel and i downloaded it. i tried on my wifes laptop and everything went fine.
i cannot see what the hell i have done wrong or what is stopping me from downlaoding the file on my clean install.
i even re formatted and the first thing i tried to do was downlaod the file prior to running updates and i got the same error message, i have not even installed an anti virus yet, my install is virginal.
if anyone has a remedy or solution i would be forever grateful.
