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.

STeeLy · 11-12-2006, 04:24 PM

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

lol.....it's not even porn, it's an actual PG-rated movie file.

Try restarting your computer...and plug out any USB drive memory stick.

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

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

Thank you for posting that! I was just browsing the thread and I've had something on my computer that I've wanted to remove for almost a year. Great stuff.

The correct bold tags are the , or sometimes

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.
