OT: computer help


shesews4em
 

Hello group. My computer has started to act funny. It was working
just fine then last night Internet Explored decided it would not open
any web pages. My dial up connection is fine, I checked for the dial
tone on the phone, and there is a function to check the modem, and
that is fine, too. Surely there must be a spot somewhere for me to
click and have everything working again??? So many of you are so much
more knowledgable than I am, and I hope you can help me solve my
problem.

Thanks--Joyce

Joyce,
Try going into your Temp folders and empty it!
and also empty your History folder, and the cache , I hope this helps, This
will only help if you are getting the page but with a bunch of x's instead
of pictures..
as for the connection to a web page? you might try unplugging the phone
cable from your computer and boot down.
and blow out the jack where you plug it back into, as it might have some
dust or such in it..
This is all I can think of if the modem is working fine from the system
check???
I hope this helps some..

Sounds to me like you have a security lock working, or spyware. Do you have spybot on your computer? Do you have cleanup on your computer? Both of these are freeware and I would suggest you download them and run them first then see what happens.

Linda,

thanks for the help. I went home and tried it and it still would
not open the web page. So, as a last resort, I decided to can tech
support. While I was on hold, one of the helpful hints was that
turning off the computer was often all that was needed to fix a
problem. What did I have to lose?? I hung up without talking to
anyone, shut down the computer, turned it back on, and viola!!! The
darn thing worked. So now I have two more things to keep in mind if
I have another problem.

Thanks again, Joyce

I am so glad you are up and running, as I hate to have a problem and just
know I can fix it but where do I start??
I just rule things out one by one until Viola, it is doing right..
I used to work on computers, back in the Windows 98 days, put in sound cards
and modems and memory and stuff
like that! but I gave all of the computer tech stuff up. I only had enough
space on my Human Hard Drive for one thing so I focused on my Digitizing and
software..And now if I can not fix it, I let my Computer guy take it.. We
have a nice thing worked out, I do his shirts and he fixes my Computer...
I am just so happy you got past this for the moment.

Maybe you need a bit of cleaning up
First it sounds like you are loaded with a bunch of spy ware.. get a real good spy ware program and run a full scan a free one I use is ad-ware


to the right click on the free edition

once you install and run a scan, then open IE and go to tools and internet options empty history, and off line files etc.

re boot, and then defrag your system
that's go to start. all programs accessories. system tools and defrag.. you should run the spy ware each day and defrag at least once a month

this will at least get you started if not fix your problem.. Many times spy ware will load down the browser so it cannot move
