windows help

anyone fancy coming round to sort this bloody pc out for me?

its poorly and its doing my nut in

i'm not using ie at the moment, i'm ATTEMPTING to use firefox (when it works) in the evening for some reason it buggers up a lot and tries to go through ask. com (which incidently i dont even have installed on my pc)

its hard to explain but it does my head in, i'll go to firefox and type in the website or click on my favourites and it goes to that stupid website

i think all it needs is windows completely taking off and re-installing, i have a windows disc here., think my pc just needs some sort of servicing....before i kick it

Is it a proper make of PC, if so what is the make and model?

Mine did the same this morning Flashers, and wont connect to my usual homepage, which is bt yahoo, so could be an ie or yahoo problem I think. And no sooner have I typed this, than it has now connected!!

Is it a Dell or Compaq or HP and does it have a model name an number?

I ask because it might have a built in recovery partition or you may be able to download a recovery disk to put it back to how it was when it was new.

or you could just go to a restore point before all this happened

ahhhhhhhh, mine seems to always naff up in the evening for some weird reason, thats why i text you to ask about yours the other night

I have lost Mozilla too, but could be something else .. have uninstalled and reinstalled, but no luck .. tells me 'Proxy server refused connection'. No trouble on IE or Opera ... so may not be similar.

spugs been having problems with his internet ... and hes using the 3 dongle ... what it is is an update thats making it go doolally ... and the firewall .... hes been doing a system restore and uninstalling the update. hes also turned the automatic updates off.

After that you'll have to ask him ...

ahhhhhhhhhh he's on exactly the same as i am Jen, he pm'd me about mine a few weeks back....thats exactly whats happening to mine...and more, J tried to faff about with it the other week but it was naffing up for him too

cheers for that Jen
