No I did not know that. How do I re-enable them?

BTW thanks for trying to help me. I have never encountered this problem before. If we cannot find a solution soon I may just format my hd and start over again.

That did not work either

I tried turning off my firewall, windows firewall, It did not rersolve the issue. I can use one program on the internet. Extreme Picture finder. It is basically a webcrawler for images. The fact that it acts somewhat like a browser might explain that.

I can connect to the internet using a web browser, but when I try connecting to game servers(like with MMO's) or try connecting to steam. I get a connection error. I don't know why this is happening. I recently ran wise care's pc 1st aid for slow computers. It told me that I may have to reinstall some programs if they stop working. I reinstalled steam. The MMO I am trying to play is a new download.(downloaded after I ran the fix.). ps If the fix was the problem. Other than this major hickup It worked wonders. My pc is faster than ever.
