Computer acting funny

[Guest Atira]

I don not know much about how computers work and I even asked the IT guy at

work and he was clueless. About a week ago my computer started to not load

the internet completely. The internet page came in with no logos, just the

text and boxes where the pictures should be. By the way, I should mention

that I had a hard drive problem back in May and my IT guy at work replaced it

for me with a new one and cleaned up the desktop and such. So, there is

hardly anything on my desktop and it had been running fine since then. So,

now when I clicked the internet either it does what I mentioned above or

displays a message: not enough data to complete the action. Or the another

message about the C drive. It always mentions the C drive and I don't know

why. Then, the IT guy suggested doing a System Restore and I did restore it

until mid-July. I thought maybe when I downloaded QuickTime that it slowed it

down because that was the last thing I downloded. So, I tried to uninstall

that and do the restore to 2 days before I downloaded QuickTime. I am not

sure it worked because the computer kept saying that same error message. The

programs on the desktop are slow and the internet did open last night as

usual with pictures and all, but it was very slow.

 

ANY IDEAS???

This may sound silly, but try doing 3 restarts in a row, and see if that

helps anything. XP rearranges the registry entries on the fly and sometimes

that can help.

If you are using Internet Explorer, go to TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/ADVANCED

and scroll down to MULTIMEDIA and see if the settings for SHOW PICTURES is

checked and SHOW IMAGE PLACE HOLDERS is UNCHECKED.

 

Good luck

Ok, wait a minute. After further reading it seems that I did this last night.

I mantioned it above. It actually made the computer worse. The desktop icons

all disappeared and then didn't come back until I restarted the computer.

Re: Computer acting funny

 

well,

 

it sounds like you did

a windows system restore.

 

the one care by Microsoft

takes care of a number of

issues.

 

if you ran it or not sure

you can try it again.

------------

not sure why your i.t. guy

is having a problem with

isolating your issue.

 

as a suggestion before you try one care

go ahead and boot into safemode

with networking options and

see if you pc acts better in that mode.

 

then let us know
