IE/desktop/computer hang ups
Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. Everytime I close out
IE and attempt to double click on my desktop to open anything (my computer.recycle bin or any program), my computer hangs up. I have a Compaq, with Windows ME, keep all the updates installed and keep it defragged etc. It only has 128MB of RAM, but is there anything I can do to fix the problem?? Thanks |

have you tried using Norton System Works? i swear by it. it has excellent
utilities for troubleshooting the system, hard disk etc. virtually automatically. :-) "BGroce" wrote: Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem.

Well that's funny... WIndows ME is the platform I very successfully use
Norton System Works on. It just goes to show... every computer system is different. P.S. Go easy Mike... don't give yourself a coronary! - - - - - - - - - - "Mike M" wrote: Chris wrote: have you tried using Norton System Works? i swear by it. it has excellent utilities for troubleshooting the system, hard disk etc. virtually automatically. :-) And has an even greater reputation of totally screwing up systems running Win Me.

Well guys, I'm not sure I would try Norton again. I had bad blue screen
errors, posted to the group, and through various gracious responses was finally able to clean up my computer. One of the problems being files still left behind after I removed NAV. Any other suggestions???? Thanks to you all.. Barb "Chris" wrote in message ... Well that's funny... WIndows ME is the platform I very successfully use Norton System Works on.
