computering??

[AliciaLuvzDizne]

all of a sudden when my computer is going to a "pop up" type thing...like when you click a link and it opens a new window...it is closing the origonal window. how do i make this stop??

thanks

go to http://mozilla.org and download mozilla firefox... that will help fix popups....

Unless it is system problems... then get spybot... (dont know where that is..) and it will remove the spyware/ad-ware....

Try these to see if it helps...

ohh i have google toolbar and that helps prevent pop ups
my problem was when you WANTED a new window to open, the old one would close by itself
i have no idea why that was...but i uninstalled yahoo toolbar (i dont know where that came from in the first place) and its all better now

thanks

I think when you install an upgrade to Shockwave (needed to view some websites) it will try and sneak that toolbar on if you don't pay attention and de-select it. That may be where it came from. Anyway - at least the problem has gone.

I'm a Firefox convert after reading Ogryns guides.

yeah it seems like a pretty cool thing...i used to use mozilla and im in LOVE with tabbing...i even have tabbing for AIM and i just got yahoo messegner yesterday (OOH thats probably where the toolbar came from duh!!) and im really sad that it doesnt have tabbing...im obsessed with keeping my desktop neat and pretty...
im going to look into foxfire right now...

Step away from the Windows computer! Buy an Apple computer. *whew* That was a close one!

Of course, since I know you're keeping the Windows computer, Firefox is your new best friend.

Are you someone else who does not buy into the whole Crapple thing? :lol:

Apple os X is ok...but their machines which are hard to upgrade are expensive....

If i won the lottery.. i would one I-mac.. one E-mac, 2 Win XP or which ever is newer and out machines... and 2 linux boxes (probably Red hat)... and a network running in my home conneting them all together...

However that will never happen....


Continue thread at it's normal programing....

How can anyone not like apple... unless it ait their homework...

Is it that obvious?

 

[AliciaLuvzDizne]

ok here i am again!!
every so often..a few times a day, i get a message from intel desktop utilities. It says that system fan 2 has either stopped or slowed. Then i hear revving (Sp?)
im concerned and i dont know what to do
help? thanks!

 

[imagineer99]

Your fan's not working properly. This is a BIG problem. If your fan fails to work, your pc is not capable of keeping cool and could over heat.

You need to get the part replaced...STAT.

 

[AliciaLuvzDizne]

o no i dont even know what im doing... should i not be using it?

 

[imagineer99]

Well...if your computer gets too hot, it should shut off automatically (i.e. the power will just cut off). Thus, you can probably still use it slightly.

I just think you need to get the park fixed soon. The sooner the better.

 

[AliciaLuvzDizne]

well...by a suggestion of a friend much smarter than me i opened it up and the dust was out of control. so i cleaned it...could this be my problem?
if it is...how do i keep it from happening again? unfortuately I clean and vaccume constantly, but it just doesnt matter in the dorms... 2 weeks left :lol:
