Did it crash before the currrent JFW? What do you have running at startup? Do you mind if I forward this message to a few other people for suggestions? ----- Original Message ----- From: Amber Wallenstein To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 5:05 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: totally OT but I'm desperate here What am I doing? Nothing. The last time it crashed, I was online looking at anti-virus software. I alt f-4 out of IE with no problems, and shut the comp down. Tried to re-boot it and windows refused to boot, in both safe and regular modes. Amber "I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.

Btw, do you regularely update your virus definitions and do you also use anti-spyware on your system? ----- Original Message ----- From: Amber Wallenstein To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 10:13 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] totally OT but I'm desperate here Hi all: I am desperate for help here, and really could use some computer advice. I bought a Dell laptopabout 11 months ago. It was running great for the first eight months or so. The first time it crashed in October, it was a virus. I used Maccaphe at the time. The next time it crashed, it was over Christmas break, and I suspect it was a maccaphe issue as well. I got it fixed but as soon as I started putting programs, etc, on it again, it crashed a third time. This time I was looking at different anti-virus programs. I don't want to use Maccaphe again, as I am not happy with the service. I sent the computer back to Dell but got it back again today saying there are no hardware issues, and that it's all my software. I'm running Windows XP homewith service pack 2, with Jaws 7.0. Any advice on strong anti-virus software that's accessible with Jaws? Amber, extremely frustrated "I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.
