    I'm really struggling with computer issues this evening. I'm beginning to think my laptop is on the verge of breakdown. If any one can help me please I have posted in 'The Site Bugs' thread further down, under 'Page Load Times are Slow'.

    Everything keeps freezing and disappearing off screen. I may or may not be around to see your replies anyway. Fingers crossed. :scratch:

    Sorry to hear your computer problems. As a total computer idiot I usually, in these type of circumstances, reboot and then run a cleaning programme. It normally helps.

    Thanks Shiney, but I'm trying to hold off on that. Things have improved today. Scrub that! Things haven't improved, my screen just froze. This is really frustrating! :scratch:

    Hmm.. It sounds a bit like you may have a Trogen in there or maybe a registry problem sheal.... If it were my machine I would take off any precious & important stuff, dump any junk & remember to empty the recycle bin afterwards.. Then I would.....
    Run all your security ware, run a full deep scan... Then run all your anti-spyware to clear any cookies still hanging on & your history..
    De-frag twice.. Run another full scan.. Run spy-ware..De-frag & try logging back on again would be my advice & fingers crossed it will get it..
    If it doesn't then I would take it to be repaired or call someone in but up to you.. It depends how old it is & how PC literate you are if you know what I mean..

      I always run an anti virus every night (I leave the computer on and it runs around 23:00) I also have a registry cleaner that runs every 4 days.

      Put it like this.

      You drop a single crumb with every page you visit, but as they are so small you don't really notice, give it a few months and you have enough crumbs to make a cake, a registry cleaner is like a dustpan and brush, cleans up all the crumbs, so you have no cake to fall over.

      Thanks all. After almost total breakdown, my son and I got together on Sunday via remote assistance and gave my computer a complete overhaul. After five hours working on it - it's now up and running again. :)
