and thanks for starting the thread.
Miss U2
Thanks, and I hope you get your internet fixed soon! I want you here!
Angela- Thanks
Yes it will be fun, but take a long time. Even though I have about 1600 of the best ones on my fotki and boomspeed pages it will still be tedious to *rightclicksave* them all again
but that's just what I'm going to do in case something happens I always want to have them on the hard drive. I will also be on the lookout for more in threads!
Lady Val- It's a long story, it started when I got a popup thing that attached itself and ads popped up every few seconds. That already slowed down my already old slow computer
so I did a search for stuff in the name of the ads coming up (internetfuel, adserv, bargain buddy) and deleted what I found. But they mutated themselves into default versions and came back! The last time I found and deleted them, I lost my explorer window and the computer kept going error. I had to bring up a My Computer window to use to type in the addys of sites, but it was VERY slow, like 20 min. to load something then it would freeze before you could use it! After trying and trying it kept giving me more errors, then finally went into protection mode and I figured I'd better stop before I destroyed it completely (I have over 4000 pics and a lot of other good stuff on that hard drive) I looked into getting it fixed but the prices were so high a new one was cheaper. Some people told me they couldn't save the data and that's what I wanted to do. So now it's in a box waiting for a day when there's a cure
and I won't give up until I get it back. I don't know how to do what you told me to do, maybe you could email me at
u2kitten@yahoo.com and tell me if you have time. It had a good life, 4 years and had only broken down once. It was getting old and slow and outdated but it was the popup thing that messed it up. A guy told me he thought what happened was that one of those defaults attached itself to something and when you delete it it also deletes something vital
dirty trick. They told me bargain buddy was a virus.
