Hey all...

Computer's been having problems. Whenever I try to view certain stuff, like past performances on DRF or going into a chat room, I get a little picture in the top left corner with little geometric figures, not an x. If it was an x, I could just refresh it, and it would come up. With this, nothing shows, no matter what I seem to do.

Can anyone help with this problem?

OK...The DRF PP's are in Adobe Acrobat. Tried to get to the San Diego, no luck. Tried to right-click that little box, no properties.

I run Windows ME.

And I just tried to search for the Temporary Internet Files folder. The search function on my computer is now pretty much dead. Shows the number of results, but doesn't show what the results WERE.

Well, this is self-destructing. I tried to run Spybot: Search and Destroy.

It's not working.

This computer definitely has something wrong with it. I'm fixing to take it into Best Buy tomorrow.

open your browser and go to "tools" "internet options" and right in the middle of the page that comes up is "delete files" try that and see if it gets any better. Make sure you reboot after above. How long has it been since this starting happening..........? If only a week or less.........

try this:
