no idea why but I can't log in to either windows live messenger or steam, use either firefox or safari.

Most errors say I'm not connected to the internet yet my connection is fine and I can use microsoft internet explorer.

Nothing's coming up in registry errors, everything aying pc is secure and there aren't any viruses found. I re-installed firefox and have same errors about not being able to connect.

Re-installing windows for me isn't the issue as I don't mind doing it once a year anyway but I have nearly 320GB of steam games I'd have to back up and the last time I backed them up from Windows 7 RC to my paid for Windows 7 Pro it seem to hang and took ages to install a few games.

I only really have one usb 2.0 hard drive I could use but again that'll take days to re-install everything but it's only 320GB.

I could remove one of my dvd drives and connect another drive but I don't have any free but buying one and using it as storage afterwards in another pc wouldn't be an issue.

Just a little stuck
 
Why would that be a proplem, I've been on this since it was released and did a clean install then.

edit: It could be a driver or registy issue but I'm not detecting anything. Error code: -1 has popped up but that relates more to hardware I believe
