Read Only! :O

Post by HotDog-Cart »

Hey, Im having some trouble here. My freind Chris, was fooling around on his computer one day, and he put a file to read only. Now when he searches something in google it doesnt work. Regular URLs do, but google wont work for him.

Does anyone know what he did?

And how he can reverse it? (I was thinking maybe put it to hidden file or uncheck the readonly option, or restore to previous date)

Tell him he needs to format his hard drive, and replace the CPU. By checking a random file read-only, he reconfigured the CPU in some way causing it to permanently disable searches.

See if he believes you.
