 User ID: 427959  Canada10/29/2008 07:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This looks interesting. But I dont have all the windows updates. I cant download them and I dont know why. It starts and then says updates failed. So I dont knolw which on to click on. Quoting: CoolchickI don't think the MS update pages works if you have "activeX turned off. Many programs turn it off for security. When you go to the MS page and it fails it should ask you if you want to turn the program on it needs. Or it tells you how to turn it on. I forget exactly. You also have to have "updater" turned on. Dang! I'd forgotten what a HEADACHE PC's and updating was! Just glad I don't have to go through it anymore. Why don't you k*now? Tell us.. tell us..  But seriously, Geo...what's the difference between a Mac and a PC? I've tried Linux...and nuh-uh! No coder here, lol! * fixed it for ya...;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fear is no policy and surrender is not an option ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace with Justice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Quoting: **Scor~Pios**[link to kb.adobe.com] There's a link to the uninstaller - after that just reboot and reinstall flash and the newest active x controls. Should fix you right up. Where do I get the download for flash? Thanks. I just had an alert for a flash update yesterday, may you need to update your flash player? I don't know though just guessing. |

I will answer your question after I restart. Go to "taskmaster and click on the tab that says "processes". It should list all the things that are running right now and how much of your ram memory they are useing. IE should be a big hog but if you see anything that looks like its hogging lots of memory then that might be the program you need to turn off. |

User ID: 427959 Canada10/29/2008 07:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You may simply have connected to a bad node on your DSL. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 538050Here's a website to check your connection speed: [link to www.speedtest.net] It's quick, simple and safe. If your download speed is below 400 or 500 kbps, YouTube videos won't play smoothly. If your speed is low, just reset your DSL modem. Unplug the power to the modem, wait a couple of minutes, turn off the computer then reconnect the modem and restart the computer. This will force a new connection and reset your IP address. (Also comes in handy when you run afoul of the ban-bots or piss off a cranky mod.) Thanks for the link, AC!  I'm gonna fall waaay behind now; I'm gonna go exploring here, lol! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fear is no policy and surrender is not an option ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace with Justice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Plus, not as many virus, worm, flowers, etc that can infect. You can have alot of things going on, just doesn't seem to bog as much or as bad.

(OP) User ID: 537422 United States10/29/2008 07:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I disabled a bunch of stuff. I only used the first link so far. Wow I disabled more than 8 items but Im still st 40 running processes. Thanks for the info Quoting: **Scor~Pios**Wow....I have three browser windows open. A notepad program and I'm listening to an internet radio program and I'm barely spiking 35. sounds like you have a program running in the background thats taking up a lot of resourses. eithe a Spie-wear program or a normal program. At the bottom right hand side of your screen...how many icons are showing up? First this was not installed: Security Update for Microsoft.Net framework, version 1.0 service pack 3(KB930494) I seem to be frozen again in this window. I will answer your question after I restart. I have 6 icons. Comando firewall, comando antivirus,sound, internet connection, yellow thing telling me I have windows updates(that I cant install) and now my task manager. After I went in and closed many of the running programs(used the links you gave me)I was down to 40 processes. When I restarted it went back up to 49. As im typing the usage is 6%.
