what the fuck is wrong with my computer?

cowbite · 03-14-2005, 03:54 PM

Normally people come to me when their computers are fucking up, now it's my turn. AIM, IE(even though I use Firefox exclusively), and Soulseek all freeze when I try to open them. Soulseek even pops up the little crash report form. AIM Express even crashes. I've ran Adaware, Spybot, and Symantec Corporate. I've got no idea here. I tried system restore to yesterday, and it was still fucking up. Any ideas?

ya, your problem sounds really strange.

A system recovery should have worked.. Did you go back at least a few days? Other then that, you could uninstall and reinstall all those programs, but your safest bet is to save your important files to a disk and do a complete reinstall like "Nimmy," (can I call you that?!), suggested!

I'll try going back a few days tomorrow. I'm due for a reformat, anyway. Time to load all the porn onto my Zen Xtra. I tried reinstalling AIM, but the problem persisted(even in safe mode). Thanks for the suggestions.

it sounds like someone is remote accessing your pc and locking you out in the process. most likely it is being used by someone in arabia to hack good natured baseball pitchers' computers in america
