I had to tweak msconfig to get a program to run, but now I can not get Internet access on the computer. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Do you have notes of the tweaks made? I'd start by trying to get back to where I started.

I thought I simply deslected start up items that seemed to prevent photoshop from running. I tried to reset to default but it has not worked.

What would prevent the PC from allowing an Internet connection? The line is live because it works for my laptop.

more likely a toolbar that is not being allowed to start up, try doing a winsock reset. A number of spyware type toolbars take control of network settings and will "break" the internet if removed or disabled.
