I've been playing tf2 on a windows partition on my mac laptop for around a year now, but recently I've been unable to load web pages, or access mumbles, or log into steam on it. i can still access wifi and download windows updates, though, so i have no idea what the problem is.

i tried to do a system restore and got a "catastrophic failure" error, WHATEVER THAT MEANS

if anyone can help me thanks in advance

Have you tried opening a command window and doing "chkdsk" and "sfc /scannow"?

If sfc /scannow or chkdsk says it found corrupt files but couldn't restore them, I would download a (assuming you're using Win7) Windows 7 ISO from DigitalRiver (don't worry it's free and legal), burn it to a DVD and do "Repair my computer."

You can try temporarily turning off windows firewall and your anti-virus and see if that helps

tried both of those as well, still not able to load pages

Yeah that's weird, it could be serving the favicons from the cache though.

How about trying "netsh int ip reset" and "netsh winsock reset" in an elevated command window, and then reboot.
