first of all I run on microsoft XP, I have a toshiba satellite laptop 1415-s173. I think i'm running using IE 6 I'm not sure I do'nt know how to find out. I think it's either 6 or 5.5 and AOL version 9.0 This is a fairly new computer, purchased in early 2003

First of all I reformated my computer once before partially because when I tried to open up javascript links, they would eventually open, but they would just kinda "freeze/halt/lag" my computer. But well I reformated because everything was lagging BUT then i reformat

SO I THINK everything is GOOD
but then here's the BIG PROBLEM the javascript link problem is stilling happening.
Then I update my computer with all the necessary goodies.
and IT STILL HAPPENS.
SO I GO TO RESTART AGAIN.
IT STILL HAPPENS
THEN I GO TO SYSTEM RESTORE AND GO BACK BEFORE I LIKE installed anything into the computer...
still happens.
THEN I GET SICK OF THAT
REFORMAT AGAIN
INSTALL MY AOL AND INTERNET CONNECTION SOFTWARE.
STILL HAPPENS.
I GO TO THIS WEBSITE i find some help
I do THIS:

INSTALL THIS:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

RUN THIS:

Start-->Run-->regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Msjava.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Browseui.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shell32.dll
STILL HAPPENS

AND NOW i don't know what to do. :cry: :cry: :cry: :-|

I don't know what to do. Could this be some sort of virus? I mean how could one survive a reformat/recovery

i don't know if this is pertinent, but i reformated using fat32? The screen talked about fat 32 or something.
