Computer gektoids, my girlfriend needs you!

[Ted Striker]

Yo did you get all your questions answered?

[Urban Ranger]

First thing to try: reboot.

[TCO]

I did the reboot thing, UR. That didn't help. But my problem went away.

[Lazerus]

For some reason i always get an error in my watch program

And since we're talking about computer stuff of which im 90% clueless :
You know when you right click on a webpage and the little grey window appears with options like save as and refresh? How do i remove or add something to that list? theres an option there for download using DAP and other stuff which i no longer have, irritating having such a big useless box.

To backup Outlook stuff, look in shared folders in program files I think... Or in Windows folder somewhere. If you look hard enough for folders with Outlook on them (there are also folders with numbers I think, weird stuff) there's a folder with one or two files which you can backup. Wish I could be clearer but it's something I did about two years ago or more and I have XP now which has a totally different structure in these matters so I can't check.
I found it by rummaging through weird folders, so can you!

New problem. My computer is running slow at starting new applications. Just opening a new window takes a while. And when the new window of explorere opens it starts out half size on the task bar and takes a second to turn into normal size. I am running sbybot and adaware to try to clean up any spies...

[TCO]

I tested my connection and that is no problem 1000meg. It is something with the puter processor.

Have you defragmented your disk? Will help some but it sounds like something else is running in the background.

[TCO]

The disk is defragmented. Problem started sometime today.

[TCO]

How do I find out what is running in the background. The processes thing shows a million things running.

[Ted Striker]

What have you downloaded in the last couple of days?

[Ted Striker]

I think your woman is turning on the webcam while you 2 are doing it.

Beware.

[TCO]

It is two different systems. I downloaded a viruschecker. And gator got on there somehow or a gator cookie. But I spybotted it away.

Spybot Search and Destroy will show a more verbose list of those applications and where they are running. It also will show you what apps start on startup.

Don't know if you've tried it, but it's much better than Ad Aware.

[TCO]

You're not making sense, playa.

I already spybotted. Plus spybot shows different stuff from what the ctrl alt del shows. Plus I can't tell if the processes at ctrl alt del are good or bad anyway.
