G--I really don't have a clue when it comes to downloading--anything I have
actually have I got by pure luck. This java said it was going to d/l to C:
Program Files and I MIGHT have changed it to go to My Downloads, but it is
in neither place, nothing about Java. Then I did a search and that comes up
with a long list of java stuff, but nothing I know what to do with. When I
d/l it I clicked on the 'run' box, maybe I didn't save it. My whole machine
is cluttered up with bits and pieces of things like that, things I never
completed, etc., but it'll have to stay this way because I don't know what
to do about it. I'm afraid if I start deleting stuff I'll mess up my whole
system. Unless I could delete the whole list and start from scratch with no
Java and just d/l it like it was new? Don't worry about condescending, as
I'm the first to admit I'm a complete moron when it comes to computers, all
I want is for it to work when I turn it on! ~Glo P.S. At the bottom of
that long list was what I did the other day, the 14th, and it said
"prefetch"-- does that tell you anything?
