*tmi* as i am killing time here in the bathroom...prolly cuz i ate something with dairy

this goes out to anyone who knows more about computers and laptops than i do...

because i seem to have laptop issues...they are not HUGE issues...i am not getting no blue screen of death...thankfully....but what's going on is more of an annoyance than anything

who says i am mad :D am i not allowed to have a bad day? :D

see! YOU in specific were the person i had HOPED to respond to this because you are so awesome with things involving things i am dumb about :D

in reference to the start up disabling...how? explain.

i just did the prefetching thing

i am going to try the crap cleaner in a second (stupid comcast sucks tonight)

i have spybot search'n' destroy. i've been running that at least once a month...

you and anthony both reccomended me to AVG... so as far as spyware/bot and viruses...i shouldn't have me none as i just scanned not to long ago...

what really puzzles me is how i let this happen, when all i did was install MS office, aim, firefox and irc..then when i saw an old past time game of mine go on sale at comp usa...

oh wait -_- dvix, tablet driver, open canvas...errr..WELL..I BROWSE THE NET SAFELY! <.<; that porn doesn't count

click start, run, type msconfig, press enter. Click startup. Uncheck everything you dont need.

Just a note, the prefetching will actualy slow down your computer for a few days, but this is normal! Windows needs to see what programs you run most frequently again so you are not loading things into memory you don't need.

That version of firefox is probably the best thing for you to try though, it uses almost half the ram as firefox 2.

p.s... 3 random bad days in a row?

it was my period OK -_- sheesh...and finding out that you may be moving far away doesn't help lighten a mood much either

[pkgingo]

so did the computer become more responsive?

[goddessastra]

i haven't noticed anything yet. i am going to do a restart when i go to bed so we'll see :D

T-T i can't believe my night has gotten so lame, that instead of going out, i stay at home and play literati with mike

[pkgingo]
