Whenever I connect to the internet, whether with dial up or a wireless
connection hot spot, my computer only lets me view microsoft.com and
access
Messenger. Here is what I've already tried to date-

restarting my computer
deleting all my network and modem drives, then reinstalling them
activating windows firewall and then disabling it.

I do not have the firewall activated. I don't have any third party
firewall.
I haven't successfully connected to any other website or internet program.
(Including World of Warcraft! My beloved game!)

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I can't contact
gateway because I can't get to their website and I don't have any free
support with microsoft!

Thanks in advance!
