WIN ME FREEZE-UP

Postby keith » Sun 15 Feb, 2004 2:38 am

HEY I need urgent help. I am running Windows Millenium edition, with 256 mb ram, and a 1000mhz processor.
Everytime i use internet explorer, it freezes. it took me 6 restarts and 8 trys to get this far with it. things like msn and norton anti-virus updates still work, its just internet explorer itself. i tried re-installing windows and it didn't help much. help would be appreciated
thanks

when you re-install windows, it is better to re-format the harddisk as well. (copy out your important files first.)

As you're having problems with Windows Malignant Edition . . . my advice is quite blunt . . .


:arrow: Back up all the most important data you wish to keep, on to CD-R or to another HDD.

:arrow: Go to a computer retail store and buy a copy of Windows XP or Windows 2000.

:arrow: Completely re-format the Windows partition on your PC's hard drive.

:arrow: Install your newly purchased version of Windows XP or 2000.

:arrow: Get all the latest updates, patches and service packs.

:arrow: Then, disable IE, and get Mozilla instead!


As your PC has a 1GHz CPU with 256MB RAM, It should easily accomodate Windows XP.

Better still (if you can afford it) ditch your PC altogether and get yourself a Mac instead!

SeaMonkey = Swiss Army Knife: It's versatile, reliable, and contains useful tools.
Windows Internet Explorer = Old Swiss Cheese: Full of holes, and it stinks!
