Can't get web pages
When I try to goto any web site, I get a new tab with a miserable icon on it and a black screen, I don't even get the usual Awe Snap! The i next to the address tells me that my 'connection is not secure' but that's the only clue - why is this happening and how do I fix it?
Tanks - rev

What browser and OS are you using?
What urls are you going to? "connection not secure" would probably be http.
Was it ever working?
-
The first thing to try is to use a different web browser. Do web pages load then? What happens if you try to load Google's home search page? You should not get a "page not secure" warning on that page.

Win 7 is the OS, Chrome is the browser and yes, it worked yesterday!
In Chrome I can only go to hotmail and I can only go to a link I receive in email.
IE works fine.
-
If IE works, then it's probably an issue with Chrome. What version of Chrome are you using? The current version is 63.0.3239.132.
You could try doing a Chrome reset:

Can't do a reset because I get the same miserable icon tab and a black screen when I go to Settings. Can't download to reinstall for the same reason.
I'll try downloading it from IE.
-
Downloaded and installed Chrome using IE but I get the same thing.
-
Hmm. If you can't even do a reset, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome.
You can use Geek uninstaller to remove Chrome first.

Already did (Revo) - now all is well, I won't even try to understand what happened but I did install something called mobirise, a web page maker yesterday. Methinks it doth protest too much...
Thanks!
