Wow... now even Earthlink is recommending us... we should feel honoured!
:o)
Welcome to the group, Les. You seem to be having multiple problems probably
stemming from several different sources. So, we'll try to take everything a
little at a time and see if we can help you out.
First off, how long have you had the computer? Unless you do regular
maintenance on your computer, all that good stuff we install and uninstall,
along with all the internet stuff that gets put on our system (ActiveX for
example), the computer starts getting boggled down. I always recommend
reinstalling Windows from scratch every 6-8 months. However, if you're being
nice and tidy with your computer, that probably isn't necessary.
Do you have any of the maintenance programs running on your system? I'm
referring to programs like Norton SystemWorks. Reason I ask is that those
maintenance programs tend to have a simple "check-n-fix my computer" scan.
Sometimes this solves problems, sometimes it doesn't. But, if you have it and
run it, that might help.
Do you do any regular maintenance on your system, and if so, what kind? What is
it you do regularly?

| Hello...I was refered to you folks by a friend from earthlink technical help
who says your THE BEST !
| I have a HP pavilion laptop N5340 with ME using dial-up. After a long period
of time being hooked up and not actively using the PC (sleeping) the modem
connection seems to disconnect but it actually locks up. Thats prob #1.
|
| When I do an alt+ctrl+del the top one in the list is msn messenger. But
doing the 2nd ctrl+alt+del doesnt restart the pc...it turns it off. And when
re- starting, it acts like it was shut down improperly and will go to the page
asking to start up in safe mode...when selecting the normal boot, it goes
trough the scan disk. How can I resolve it not recognizing that I was
re-booting correctly?
|
| 3rd problem is with using my mic, the other party (and I have heard it in
audio wizard for MSN) is that I have a hum in there with me.
|
| Any and all help is appreciated.
