problems with hp desktop

eternal

Ok so I'm no IT wizz.
When I open my email it displays whether I should display all content. I need to switch to viewing http instead of https but don't know how. Plus when I click on google it says 404 not found.
Any simple advice would be appreciated.
My pc is circa 2005.

What browser are you using to check? Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome?

Yep i have seen that warning in gmail as well.

More then likely another chrome bug.

Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this

Internet Explorer 8. Can't upgrade further as I'm using Windows XP.

I've tried that. I went into advanced settings too but nothing is working.

Try resetting Advanced Internet Settings to default in Internet Properties

Tried that too, still not working. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Do appreciate the advice though.

Have you tried Chome or firefox? Also look at these steps on using "Compatibility Mode" in IE8

Going to give that a try now...good advice there.

still not working. Must be something pretty bad wrong. All I can think is I accessed google mail from my phone and this must have caused a security problem. Google mail is coming up as not being able to connect. Google search is 404 not found.
It is running a lot faster though.

Have you checked to make sure Proxy settings are not set in internet explorer settings/internet options as this will efect all browsers.

Make sure they are turned off.

Managed to add sites to trusted sites. Google mail is having problems loading, will try and sort it. Half way there!

start, accessories, system tools then access Internet Explorer without add ons.
Google mail works then, if anyones wondering how to fix it.
Thanks everyone for the help.

Hi All

I have a HP desktop computer operating on Windows 10 upgrade which a technican recentingly upgraded for me last year. Recently I am receiving pop up messages from HP Support Assistant to the effect;
(1) The features you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
(2) HP Support Assistant ; The path with some data mentioned - cannot be found etc
(3) Error No valid source could be found for product HP Support Assistant. The Windows installer cannot continue
(4) Windows Installer - Preparing to install.

Rather than hauling this computer back again to technician can anyone give me some guidence in how to fix the problem. Thanks

Not sure why you necro'd this thread and didn't just start a new one.
Remove the HP Support assistant from Programs & Features
