just opening IE makes it freeze.... way before tryin to connect to anything... its a problem with the IE i just have no idea what or how to fix it.... firefox runs fine.. everything else on it runs perfectly.... its just the IE has something fucked up about it..... if it was anything else im sure uninstall and reinstall would fix it, but i dont think thats a good idea here.....

 

Sounds like a job for your local Tech Support.

 

IE may be configured wrong.

1. Go to Start>> All Programs>> System Tools

2. Click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

 

 

restart Internet Explorer

 

if it runs smoothly, then it can be determined that one of the add-ons was causing the problem. You will need to continue troubleshooting this issue until you find out which add-on was causing the problem.

 

You will need to do this using the Manage Add-ons feature.

 

 

 

Note: You will need to reverse the above steps to place Internet Explorer 7 back in regular mode for troubleshooting purposes.

 

1. Start Internet Explorer 7

2. Go to Tools>> Programs tab>> Manage Add-ons button

3. Under the option "Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer", you will see a list of all of the add-ons installed on yer system.

4. Click the name of an enabled add-on and then click Disable under the Settings option.

another possible cause could be that when you upgraded, IE7 changed a Internet connections setting that you previously had in IE6 and it is not connecting correctly

 

try this

 

1. Open IE7>> Tools>> Internet Options

2. Click the Connections tab

3. Click to highlight the first entry under Dialup and Virtual Private Networks settings, then click the Settings button.

4. Place a checkmark in the Automatically detect settings checkbox, then click OK.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all listed Dialup and Virtual Private Networks

6. With the Connections tab still selected, click the LAN Settings button.

7. Place a checkmark in the Automatically detect settings checkbox, then click OK.

8. Close IE7 and restart the browser.

i try to reset my modem through the browser but after i get into the settings and stuff it asks me to put in the modem access number or something that's located on the bottom of the modem, and so i put it in, click reset, but it says the numbers are incorrect when they aren't. is this because the modem isn't connected directly to my mac with the ethernet cable?

oh, heres a question, although i think i already know the answer...

 

my roommates laptop runs super slow. exact same as mine. got rid of her shit virus/spyware software, got avg, spybot, and comodo.

ran avg and spybot in safe mode. just the usual porn cookies in spybot, nothing in avg.

ran tuneup a bunch of times, and turned off all non essential programs at startup...

 

thats the basic stuff that fixes most slow problems, i've found. i told her to defrag a bunch of times and i'm going to run hijackthis when i get a chance.

 

what else should i try?

 

edit: forgot to mention she has a million quicklaunch buttons going. that wouldnt be it would it?

i think you're on the right track. run hijackthis! and then google a hijack this log analyzer.

 

 

defrag once a week or so. it can fuck your HD if you ddefrag too much. just schedule a once a week defrag at a time when she's not using her computer.

 

get spyware blaster, too. good program to block shit that might come in.

 

i've got alot of my shit on the quicklaunch. doesn't affect too much. what does affect it is the running tasks (on the botom right) and stuff thatr uns on startup.

yeah, thats whats making me scratch my head. i cut down on the startup and running processes and its still 5 min deal when you turn it on. i guess hijack it is.

 

it sort of boggles my mind how people cant do basic maintenance. makes me look smart. and i know i dont know shit.

 

 

 

you know alot more than most.

 

you can also cut down on her graphics and such. if it's xp, change the theme to "classic".

there are tons of recommendations that tuneup will give you on the system optimization option.

Hola Senores, i need a little advice in how to rip dvd's. ive got an intel iMac and mactheripper and mediafork both gave me shit quality rips. hard drive space isnt an issue. is the only way to get a high quality rip by ripping to a more raw format then encoding all the audio and video shit gets complicated. any help would muchly appreciated. cheers

no problem thanks for a new question its been slow around here lately

 

but was that a touch of sarcasm i sensed from that thanks for the help....

 

???

 

but did you get it completely removed??

 

 

not at all man... i really appreciate the help... i solved a problem at work that would have otherwise required outside help which made me look fucking great... and yeah it took a minute, but the toolbar is gone... why would the google toolbar cause problem,s like that? weird....

 

 

another problem if you guys are up to it:

dell inspiron 1100 laptop getting the BSOD.... running diagnostics off the bootable cd and it kept shutting down during longer test like the memory and HD tests... i opened it up, cleaned the (fucking filthy) processor fan.... now it overheats less, but still getting the BSOD if i dont boot off the CD... am i on the right track by just going through the diag shit? or is there something else i should be doing/checking?

 

 

thanks again

/no sarcasm
