User ID: 46008 United States10/29/2008 09:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One good question is ,,is it really both youtube and you pc slowing or just youtube? If it's just you tube then your isp is more than likely throttling you. If it's both then I don't have a freaking clue as to why it would only happen while loading a you tube. Other than some one has loaded some thing on your pc to watch you unawares. Oh well I gave it shot. Fuckit. ~~~“Only the dead have seen the end of war.”~~~ |

Quoting: <October>Anybody know anything about compressing files? I put a second hardrive in and moved all my junk files over to it and only left my XP and program files on C: drive. Most computer geeks have and old hardrive that they don't use and is too small for their needs. Of course if you are on a laptap then and extra hardrive is pretty much out of the question unless you have a USB plug and can use a portable hardrive. |

User ID: 427959 Canada10/29/2008 09:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey Scorpios...did you just download some new software? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 512435Or get some recent updates? I HATE the updates, they ALWAYS seem to do something to screw up my machine... :( Best of luck...  Yeah..mine too and even lately it shuts down by itself,..and restarts again...always with some anomaly there after... Exactly! That's one of the reasons that I'm interested in other systems. I KNOW Linux is not for me...heh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fear is no policy and surrender is not an option ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace with Justice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS. Now my pc is slow but I think I need to defrag since I deleted so much. You all should book mark this thread for valuable info. BTW I use IE. If I download Firefox can I switch between using IE and firefox or do I have to use firefox?

I spose if I was gonna copy those files from this computer to another one, it would be illegal... But, what if I just need the copy in case I screw up my Windows 2000, and need to re-install it? The files are on my computer. It's just that I don't know where they are and which ones they are. I've read that it's C:WINNT, and I've also read that it's. (something or other). i386... Either way or howsomever, I just feel more secure knowing that I can re-install if necessary. I've been learning on my machines and I have 2 or 3 that gave up the ghost after I did something that I didn't know how to fix, lol!

User ID: 373387 United States10/29/2008 09:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For the last couple of days whenever I use youtube my computer really slows down. The video starts skipping and goes real slow. My computer follows with the slowness. I close the youtube page and it stops. I have never had this problem before. Anyone know why this happens? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 534182Easy fix, Step one, open up your case (or one of the slots on your notebook), inside is a little guy called a Gremlin. be careful, he is a nasty little fella, you grab him by the neck and strangle the little S%$&^ until he turns blue (the same color as a smurf). step 2. then, open one of your door or window and throw the %$#$$%% out. make sure to tell him never to come back. Warning, If the Gremlin returns, smack his little head on the desk or table repeatedly until the snot drains out of him...then throw him out again. he is not too dangerous in computer, however on planes you might have something to worry about.

Quoting: **Scor~Pios**Not only can you use both, but there's an extension for FireFox called IE Tab that allows you to use IE embedded in FireFox. You click a button & switch right in the same tab. You can also specify certain web addresses to always load in IE or FireFox. |
