Post; My computer!!


well I've had my computer for a couple years now, and its done ok I guess, my Uncle put it together for me, and I've always had problems.

First my wireless internet wasn't working becuase I couldn't get a signal from downstairs, but that's ok because I just use the neighbors signal, I figure they don't mind

But that's not the problem, I think my computer has a virus or SOMETHING!! because my computer crashed, COMPLETELY a week ago, and would just restart itself over and over, but wouldn't go to the actual screen with all the icons...so I got a windowns XP disc out and it just installed a lot of stuff, and I restarted it from there and my screen finally loaded without restarting.

But my computer is goofed up, because if I go to the screen that loads everything, I can't boot my computer up in safe mood, I go to the BBS popup or whater and it says

Boot from: CD, Floppy, or something else, I've forgotten what it said.

So a lot of times ie will just go off, when Im on it, and it freezes up a lot. When I go to disc cleanup, it doesn't do anything, it won't work.

and when I go to internet options, and then click 'delete files' my ie window freezes!!

Im positively tired of popups, and my computer working slower, my ie freezing, and closing itself all the time, so if someone could recommend anything to help me I would be happy.

BTW, I have zonealarm installed in my computer, just the free version, and it does pretty well, but it doesn't block that many popups

computers are like cars. (transportation)

People these days in modern places dont ride horses. So when I felt that I was riding an old horse, I went and got me a decent car.

find your nearest second story window and chuck it out.

Compaq makes a decent cheap computer.

hmm I've actually thought about that seeing as my computer is three feet away from my window, either that or my softball bat...

But yeah I dont think that my dad would take that so well!!

I think I'm gonna have to re-format the hardrive like Rabs said *sigh*

but seriously, who has actually chucked their computer out their window come on!!
