Ok if you come from the virus and icky forum then you know i am so not computer smart :eek: .. SO ,I have been reading on what to do before the ol' man tosses my computer out on the street...
I had so much trouble with the about.blank , torjan start.page and so on but as a cable modem user who used to love to click that connect button and watch the page fly up right before your eyes I am now a cable modem user who overpays (lol) and it takes anywhere from 30-50 minutes to get the computer online...UGH!!!
It's frustating, I have a HP511w and I have taken everything of importance off and burnt it onto cd's pic., favorites, etc... So , now i want to erase the whole computer and re -install Xp , good or bad idea?
Mine came pre-installed when we bought the computer...And lets not forget the teenager who would click on anything :mrgreen: to cluster up the computer...
Should I do the destructive restore and start over? Nothing on here that I haven't got off and my comcast disc is sitting beside me (saying do it do it !!) :confused: ......Thanks for any input ....Sincerely Jennifer
