| 118870 | 2003-02-06 18:53:00 | Recently, on wednesday, early morning, I finished a site design of mine and went to school. When I came back home the computer was in safe mode. Thinking that the kids had done something, I reverted to 7:54 am, using go-back. Unfourtunately, when I realised my mistake of reverting it to a "system boot" when I don't reboot often, it was too late. I couldn't revert to a time before that. Now my computer system seems to have a corrupted registry and it is constantly crashing in programs (mainly IE 6, but in windows explorer and other programs too) and sometimes giving 1-3 blue screens on boot up. I'm thinking it is a registry problem since norton win-doctor crashed when examining the registry and since IE is obsessed with the registry... although it could be another problem alltogether. NAV crashed when scanning so I have no leads. I am running Windows 98 on a 3 year old PIII 533 machine with 384 MB of ram. *PLEASE* HELP! |

| 118872 | 2003-02-06 22:51:00 | A constantly crashing IE is often caused by spyware that may have been working ok previously. Grab a copy of adaware (http://www.lavasoft.de) and see what it picks up. Also disabling 3rd party extensions (under IE Options -> advanced tab) may help. BTW: Using all capitals is considered shouting and won't get your post answered any faster, in fact it will probably stop a lot of people from even reading it. |
