Does it load the page at all in IE or just open a blank page?
Just a blank page...for IE...then opens the Firefox window and takes me to the account login page. I login and it takes me to account information.

Every single frickin' time.

So I bought some new memory and now am running 1GB of RAM. But I am still having problems and really don't know what else I can do without taking it to a professional to have it serviced.

It's only frozen up once since I put the memory in yesterday but I wanted to see if it fixed the initial problems I had with it. I used to play that NHL 2004 game and haven't in a long time. I re-installed it today to see what it would look like and it's actually allowing game play now, but the graphics are just messed. This is a screen shot I took from the game.



This is with a new DVD burner installed and a new graphics card as well, NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT. Drivers were updated today for the card. I actually don't even want to play this game, just to fix what is obviously a problem. The only other things I can think to be replaced are the power source, hard drive, processor or motherboard. If that ends up being the case, I should have just bought a new computer to begin with.

I'm having problems deleting a partial video file on my computer.

When I try to delete it, that message that says "unable to delete, being used by another person or program" or whatever pops up. And it seems like after I try to delete it my computer slows down quite a bit.

I tried scanning my computer for viruses a few times with no luck.......ran ad-aware and spybot and still nothing.

How do I get this file off my computer?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you get that file off of any file sharing programs or anything?

Using file sharing programs is generally a pretty easy way for really dangerous trojans, such as those with keyloggers, to gain access to your system.

Oh, I know. I knew stuff like this could happen, so I only have myself to blame. I've been pretty good at not using it at all lately, but there was something I wanted to see, and......bam. Now I know why I don't use it much.

I need to know this ASAP and figure lots of folks will know this. How do I set up html tags for bold?

I think that <b> starts a bold, but how do I close the bold? I tried this but it won't work: /<b>

Please help me out here. If you have a list, that would also be helpful but I need the bold one asap. Thank.

Anyone have a list of the tags?

The square brachets are called BBCode and are primarily used in forums like this one,

The correct bold tags are the <b></b>, or sometimes <B></B>

I haven't used this but it might protect surfers when they want to enter uncharted waters and download something that they later want to get rid of.
