Is your cable modem set up correctly? Right click my
computer/properties/device manager and check whether there
is any question mark or exclamation mark appearing
anywhere.
To prevent popups, download the Google toolbar
(www.google.com)
Do you have a sticky key on your keyboard? Try another
keyboard to see if the Caps problem goes away or not.
Contact Dell for a restore CD if you havn't got one. You
can create a boot disk. The info can be found in the help
file: start/help, then type boot disk.
Programs not working could mean a virus infection. Get an
on-line scanner, eg from Symantec. After the system is
proved to be clean, install anti virus and firewall
software. Without protection, it is too dangerous to surf
the net nowadays. Good luck.
Hope this helps.
faster than a dial up. Nope, and I am always locking up
when online surfing the net. I constantly see popups even
with a Blocker installed. It goes from lower case to caps
all by itself without the caplock. Things are so bad with
this that I can barely use my puter anymore. Windows 2000
Pro was already installed when I bought this puter, which
is a Dell 2400. I dont have a boot disk, or anything with
the program. And most of the programs that come with the
Installation arent available on my system. I have upgraded
all the latest from the update list on Microsoft webpage.
I have used PC Doctor with no changes. I have called my
ISP support services, and they say all is ok with my
system. I need help or I am gonna throw this puter out the
door. Can anyone spare some time to help me with this?
Advice?
