Computer help!

Yay! Welcome back!

Odd that Firefox wouldn't open it. That's what I use.

Good to see you, Alice!

Thanks Rob and Lisa! It's very odd that it will no open. Never had this problem before. Don't know if it's my old laptop that's the problem. Good to see you both!

WELCOME BACK.THAT'S VERY ODD.

Hi Krissy!
Hope your Birthday was wonderful!

It is really odd.

Welcome back.

That is odd. cause, I'm on firefox. Working fine for me, for this forum.

glad to see you back on the prairie, Alice!

Welcome back! As far as firefox not working...it could be that it hasn't done an update. I like to watch reindeercam.com and the live stream of them being fed and the other day, I missed because it said I needed Javascript..... I HAVE Javascript...but apparently, it hadn't done the update that should happen....so, I updated, restarted and "Ta-Da" there is was......Might check into that.....

Welcome back Alice!

I really liked Google Chrome, but my email acted up on it. My son loves Google Chrome, but he doesn't use email, like ever. Hope yours is ok!

I'm happy to have here again, Alice! And, yes, I had some bif troubles some time ago, and I must go to internet thourough Google Chrome...It's quite off. But no more ptoblems after that...

Vanesa

Google Chrome is the best. Seriously.

Anyway, welcome back Alice!

NOW, I just need to find my MOUSE! Using the trackball thing on the laptop is making the cursor go wild.

Sorry I got back, again so late, but I have been so busy with Christmas I have not been on the computer at all.

I downloaded a file that wasn't safe ( didn't know it was un safe). But before I opened it. Norton blocked and removed it. I did system restore. My compture should be okay right? I did a scan also.

Yes, if your anti-virus caught it, removed it and you got a clean scan...you should be fine.   

Thank you. Just making sure. I don't want to kill my pc again.

Been there, done that....not a good feeling....except mine was a malicious virus that came in the back door of my computer and wouldn't let me have control over my computer....scary indeed!   

On no. yikes for sure.  

I kind of killed my pc last year. Had to get it re-installed.

I can't download anything anymore. Anytime I did. My laptop got the virus. I couldn't use my laptop.


Yesterday, I got delta airline email. When, I click on the attachment. Net zero said, they don't open phishing. So, I delete the email.

That is not good. Yikes. I think i'll just not trust links in you tube videos. Just trust I tunes, And this other site.

Yesterday morning the hydro went off. My Desktop computer was on. When it came on again. It said it was checking for the disc drives or something to make sure they are ok. Then I noticed on the motherboard no green flashing list wasn't on. So my question is. Is there suspose to a light flashing on it? I mean everything on my pc is working fine. I'm able to get online. Some one said I need to do a "Recovery". Should I? I don't really want to if I don't need too.

I wouldn't do a recovery unless it starts acting up. When the PC came back on, it did a check of itself, so nothing more should be needed. Power outages have been all over the place because of this crazy weather we all have been having, so doing a recovery every time is a little much. If it starts doing things it hadn't before, then you might do one.

Thank you. I didn't do one because I don't think it's needed. Yeah it's annoying to re-downlouad everything. I think that's best if it acts up then I will.

Edit: I noticed the flash that came was from Cable wire that goes into my pc. On the other desktop I noticed on top the green light comes from the Fan and the cable wired too,
