Windows 7 is not loading Google?

I recently purchased a HP laptop with Windows 7 installed. For the first few days, it was working perfectly fine. But just recently, Google won't load. No matter which browser I use (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.), the same issue comes up. It basically says that the website cannot be loaded. Every site I've gone to works perfectly, besides Google. I'm pretty sure it's not my internet, because there are several other computers in my home connected on the same wi-fi signal, and Google loads just fine. Any ideas what could be wrong or ways to fix it? Thanks!Windows 7 is not loading Google?
try Google Chrome !! its the best out there !!Windows 7 is not loading Google?
You might try running http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner . After you have installed it and opened it check all of the boxes EXCEPT for wipe free space. Click on applications tab and click all of those boxes. Run Ccleaner.



Go to start and then type in CMD and press enter. Inside of the command prompt box type in the following commands EXACTLY and then press enter after each command.



ipconfig /release



ipconfig /flushdns



ipconfig /renew



exit



The key command is flushdns. Your DNS cache may have an old address for that server and is hitting a dead end resulting in a failure to connect. The flushdns command forces the computer to establish a new address for Google which might solve your issue.



If that doesn't work I would systematically uninstall each browser making sure one is installed at all times. Uninstall Firefox and then download and install firefox with IE or Chrome and then uninstall chrome and download it with Firefox.
