Registry Cleaner? Here we find those create troubles rather than cure machines.
Why not eject Last Pass since that would be optional.
-> OK, what about Safe Mode with Networking? (google if you forget how.)
Remember there are possible hardware issues too. My trick for sniffing that out is a bootable CD. I noted that a decade ago at http://tips.oncomputers.info/archives2004/0401/2004-Jan-11.htm

Hi, I really could use some help on this one as I can't afford to get my PC fixed and I'm disabled and need my PC.
Here are some details that may be helpful: Windows 7 OS; Default Browser- Firefox.
PR4OBLEM: Yesterday, I had cleaned my computer as I have done a 100 times over going through the same process with the same utilities with no problems ever. I removed some unwanted programs; ran my Anti-Virus (Avast - no threats found); ran Malwarebytes (only one PUP issue which was deleted); ran my Registry Cleaner; ran CCleaner; ran my defrag utility (Auslogics). In addition, I updated Adobe Flash Player Active X; Adobe plug-in for Mozilla; updated Java; and, updated Mozilla. Then I restarted my PC.
Following restart, I tried to go online and it connected, but, would not display my homepage, nor could I go to any other website. The upper tabs (File, View, Bookmarks, Tools etc) all work to display their options. Also my "Favorites" toolbar is shown, but, when I click on a link - nothing. One other thing I found odd is regarding my Password Manager (Last Pass). Normally, when I first open my home page, a Last Pass box will pop up wanting me to put in my Master Password. Now, when I open Mozilla, the Last Pass box displays twice. When I try to insert my Master PW in the first box it does nothing and when I X that one out and go to the nex LP popup and insert my Master PW, it works (the Last Pass icon lights up and I can o9pen the Last Pass Vault).
I have tried everything I know to do: I have unplugged both my Modem (Comcast) and my Router (Lynksis) at the same time for 2 minutes - problem remains. I have attempted to go to at least 6 different restore points and all of them fail (System Restore unsuccessful window pops up though it seems to go through the normal procedure as it tries to restore). So, System Restore will not work!
Also, let me mention that everything that can be used Offline such as word seems to work fine. I can also print from Word with no problem.
I think that's about all of the information I can provide. I would Really Appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. Like I said earlier, I'm disabled and can't afford to bring it to a computer shop to get it fixed and I really need it.
Thanks, in advance, for you kind help!
