Okay, this is going to sound completely strange, at least it is to me. But.......I got a new printer and had it hooked up to my laptop by HP tech. All went well until the computer blocked the download!!! On checking the cause, the tech said there were lots of critical alerts, which showed up on the screen for me too. I mean a lot of them! So I gave him permission to delete all these.
The printer works great now. The tech said that all these critical alerts could cause other major problems with other things too.
So, I wonder, if all this slow loading, freezing, etc I've been experiencing was because of these alerts?
I have since logged on to the problem sites, this one being the worst, and there is absolutely NO Problem now!!!
I got to think that it was a computer problem with these alerts. I admit I am computer/tech illiterate, so must believe what is shown to me.
Just another thought as to why things are freezing.
It is so great to not have that problem anymore, and the screen is much faster! Yea!!!!
