other questions/problems
1] is it normal that one cannot access the internet while
in safe mode? i've never been able to [as far back as i can recall] 2] when i try to start in normal rather than safe now, i get a blue screen which says something about windows not loading properly, i think i recall, something about 'windows security' [no, it's not 'security', it's another word i can't recall but i'm not at my pc], a number and that loading has been halted, restart necessary--but i can only restart in safe mode. 3] how does one remove programs from startup in order to stop having to use selective startup? 4] i am using a cable modem, and can't connect until i dis- and reconnect the usb cable--i still get a 'cannot find server' in the bottom bar, but my homepage comes up [that is, when i can start in normal mode--which hasn't been for a day now]. that's all i can think of now--i know it's a lot, but as i said in the previous post, i've gotten such great help here in the past... help! thanks! allyson |
