Okay add me to the "please help" list... I "fixed up" a friend's computer on the weekend -- also a senior who plays Pogo games alot I found the bugbear virus, and multiple spyware and trojans, so after I removed them, th ings were still not running properly so I reinstalled Windows ME for her -- I installed "over top" of the existing installation but it is an OEM disk so I'm assuming it re-creates the registry etc. Anyway -- did all the windows updates for her as well from the Windows website, and when I took her computer back to her everything worked fine, but she called me and said she now can't get into her Pogo games. I told her to turn off the firewall and popup stopper (google) that I installed and try again. She says she still can't get into it. Any ideas? I really don't want to have to go over there AGAIN as it usually ends up being a 2 hour visit. I don't use Windows ME so I'm not as conversant on it as with Windows 2000 or XP. I also don't play Pogo games -- although I went to the website from my computer and got in fine -- so I know its not their website -- its something on her computer. But what?? Any help is mucho appreciated!! ~Lacey~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "§Pat§" <rhekay@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <"Undisclosed-Recipient:;"@freelists.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 6:21 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- PLEASE HELP > I hope I can explain this....my friend who is 70 yrs old plays games on > Pogo. > Everytime he clicks on the shortcut to go to Pogo he gets this popup stating > his computer is being tracked ..yadda yadda yadda...then his CD rom drawer > pops open scaring the poor man to death..he has a popup blocker but this > always > manages to get through...I then have to go back in to IE tools..internet > options and > put his home page back to what he wants...this may last 2 days and then the > process > starts all over again...........all the poor old man wants is his email and > his games on Pogo. > Any suggestions how to stop this from changing his home page and that darn > popup from opening his CDrom drawer (other than leaving it open) . > Pat > "Inside every older woman is a young girl wondering what the hell happened." > -Cora Harvey Armstrong- > http://www.duirwaighgallery.com/inspirat > ion_trailer.htm > http://wonderofitall.com/ > > > To unsub or change your email settings: > //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk > > To access our Archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ > //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ > > For more info: > //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk > To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
