Re: Computer problems.........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...can I switch between using IE and firefox...?


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.

Re: Computer problems.........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im finally back! I did a crap load of maintenance stuff. Used a lot of links you all suggested. 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?


Sweetie, yes! Defrag, lol!

And YES! You can use whatever browser you want. Yes, you can switch back and forth...

IE is the one that causes the most problems; it's the one most virus and bad guys target, eh. But it's a Microsoft product so that's what they (MS) insist that you use...for their sites

I'm glad it seems to be happening for you! hearts

I will defrag later. Takes too long. You better keep my secret! LMAO!

Try Glary Utilities. You can tweak a LOT of stuff. For example it has a 'duplicate files finder', and an 'empty file finder'...plus, plus!

I love this stuff! 1rof1.

Re: Computer problems.........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Re: Computer problems.........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's your little problem now?

As you might know, I never have 'problems' and I always try to bring a smile to GLP - along with a bit of breaking news now and then :-)

..the OP, however, has taken it upon himself to label me a 'troll', and is advising others to ignore my posts.

I don't know why he acts in this way, but well, that's it.

Not really worth talking about.

....Unless the OP cares to explain now?

Hi Oct

I'm a man (been married 4 months and 10 days! :-) .....to a woman!) - I lost my Jack Lemmon-in-drag avatar, so I went for the nearest thing, sorry to be confusing!

It must be a silly misunderstanding, bur the other night, I was in a thread..and I was shocked at Scorp's post about me. Mine wasn't rude, I'm not a 'troll', and I thought it was out of order for Scorp to tell the rest of the board to ignore my posts. That's all.

Like I say, I'm sure it must be a misunderstanding, but I'm quite sure I did nothing wrong.

ok, gotya. If you know they can safely be stopped with no future demise to your system, killing them in task manager is useless, if they don't auto-restart immediately (mostly system files do this), they will restart once you reboot the machine or log off/on. These are the services that must be set to "disabled" or "manual" within the services config.
