| 179663 | 2003-10-01 22:52:00 | I have Acer Travelmate 200T Laptop, running Windows ME, Explorer 6 and it has just started feezing on boot up just before wallpaper appears and it will not shut down or close through Cyrl/Alt/Delete. Have to close and then go through scan disk when rebooted. Then Dial Up connection box appears on its own accord at regular intervals. Does anyone have a thought? The only change I have made lately is to download Free History Cleaner? Thanks. | bruciebear (1478) | ||

It may be that your "Free History Cleaner" or other downloads has installed some adware/spyware. Remember TINSTAAFL (There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch) |

| 179667 | 2003-10-02 01:03:00 | Your problem sounds similar to mine with XP Home. Sometimes the the 'Welcome' screen freezes, other times it boots up ok. I am unable to use the keyboard when the screen freezes tho, so can only turn the power off for a while then try rebooting. I have not installed anything that sounds like the 'History Cleaner' so can't blame that. |

| 179668 | 2003-10-02 04:15:00 | Might be History Cleaner although I do have Adaware so I clean cookies etc out daily. I strange thing with Adaware is that it flies along but it stops and struggles to move on " Windows/System/directx/websetup/ not sure if that means anything?Cheers everyone. | bruciebear (1478) | ||
| 179669 | 2003-10-02 04:48:00 | I would lose History Cleaner for a start, personal opinion and either do the clean up of your folders manually or get something like WindowWasher that does a heap of cleaning and does not talk home either. Websetup, have a look at the google search link below, I don't know myself what this is but it appears to have various security issues, whether it in anyway is your problem or not................ www.google.com |
