If the freezing is during surfing and you use IE, I forgot to mention to try the IE repair tool. I'd need to know your OS and browser version to tell you how. -Clint
----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" First; a PC freezing up is 99% chance software/OS. Just reformat, start over. It will probably fix your problems. (Or there is a host of other things you can do that MIGHT work before reformatting). FULL scandisk in DOS AND in windows; defrag; registry checker (scanreg); system file checker (depending on OS); disable what is running in the background at start up; empty your windows temp folder; empty the temporary internet files folder (in explorer so "contentIE.5" can be deleted); and diagnostic software that may find the problem if the above doesn't. You also should check for "AdWare" and "Spy-ware" since these things have been known to screw PC's up a bit. "SpyBot S&D" is about the best for removing these things. http://spybot.eon.net.au/ -Clint Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi All We are having problems with our current computer.. as it seems to be freezing alot lately..
