Hi,
I am having major issues with connecting to online servers to play all
sorts of online games.

The only other things I can think of are that 1) maybe I have
accidentally deleted some file/program that is necessary for these
connections and/or 2) there could be some other Firewall program on my
computer that I am unaware of. Or, 3) anything else I have no idea
about.

No system specs, easiest way to fix would be to run System Restore (Start >
Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore) Choose a date from
before you started having problems, click OK, your system should reboot a
few times then try the games again.

Could be something you installed borked something. System Restore rewinds
your system files, shouldn't effect your documents/data, but you may need
to reinstall some applications, but keep in mind something you may need to
reinstall may be causing your problem.

Oh, if you disabled System Restore, turn it back on, it's useful. Worse
case scenario, backup data, do a Windows Reinstall. Most brand name systems
have restore CDs to restore your software to factory specs.

Good luck.
