I might be tempted to try booting into "safe mode with networking" and seeing if the administrator account can access the web in that mode. You do this by rebooting and hitting F8 multiple times until the boot manu appears.
Anyway, if that works, then an application, driver or service that is starting when windows starts is probably causing the problem. You can try to isolate which one it is by using the windows "msconfig" command (start -> run -> msconfig) to prevent all or some of the startup programs from running in turn
and checking if the problem still exists. Start by removing them all and if that works, adding one back at a time, until you identify the culprit.
Thanks for your reply. Ive already tried that and pinpointed my problem to my wireless conection. If I enable it, my computer freezes. If I don't enable it, I cant access the internet.
OK - So at the risk of being a jerk and repeating myself, if you boot into safe mode with networking and then enable the wireless connection, does the freeze still occur?
