I was trying to get on here yesterday and both my wife's and my PC' s gave me warnings about this site being malicious. It was Google giving out this info. I just couldn't believe it was doing that and that is why I tried my wife's PC. Anyone else have this problem? The message was saying that my settings are why I got the warnings. Never changed the settings and have no problems getting on now.

Those temps look really low to me. If it has been doing this since you put it together I would suspect either the Motherboard or one of the other components. I fixed a Dell once that did the same things as yours and after replacing the PS it fixed the problem. I would try another PS first. Did you test the memory?

How long ago did you build this PC? Has it always had this problem? If so I would still check the PS and memory. New doesn't always mean it is good. I bought a new Motherboard once that was bad.Could also be a new device you just installed or one going bad.

Could be a bad Power Supply,memory or Motherboard. Test the Memory and try another PS if you have one. Have you checked the CPU and memory temps? Could be getting too hot.

Thanks JDoors That worked great! Glad I didn't have to this manually lol! Thanks Again Bryan [solved] One other way is Control Panel/Appearance/Folder Options.

Basically if you clear it out, things slow down until it gets repopulated. If you leave it alone , eventually unused entries will get removed. You can think of it as bunch of shortcut links sort of, it keeps track of where on the hard drive files you use a lot when you run programs you use a lot or which load during windows startup and it tells windows to prefetch a copy from the hard drive to RAM or at least swap file (depending on when it will be needed) so that it is pre loaded when it is needed. So instead of waiting for when it is actually needed (and a bunch of other things are trying

I'll just leave it alone then. I don't install and uninstall much of anything. Thanks!

I know on older Windows it was safe to delete these files. Is it OK for Windows 7 to delete all the files in this folder of just the .pf files? I have a ready Boot folder ,Data Base files and a Configuration Settings file other than the PF files. The configuration settings file is an ini file. Is it created when the first pf file goes into this folder? And continues to grow as more pf files goes in?

Looks like it is one of the Dell Programs that starts up. I used CodeStuff starter and removed the Dell Support Program and IE8 Runs ok now. Thing is Firefox and Chrome are both much faster so I will stick with them. Chrome I haven't messed with and don't really see any nice things about it. Just a plain Jane(sorry to all you Jane's)Browser.

I guess the answer is to just use Firefox and or Goggle Chrome. Which I already have changed to.

Yes this is using the 32 bit version. I even tried the 64 bit version and the same thing happens. Both my wife's and mine lock up, It might have something to do with a Dell program installed, I'm just not sure. My daughter is over visiting and tried to use my Computer. Turn around and asked me what is wrong with your internet. I told her don't use IE. I might try disabling the Dell programs and give it a try. Have you ever seen the Dell Dock program? It is like a task bar at the top of the Desktop. Might be that. It is accessible all the time and can at times overlay IE or anything else you

You would think these 2 Microsoft items would work well together. I bought my wife a new PC last year with Windows 7 on it and then I bought myself one this year. After a short time of using IE8 my PC started to lock up all the time as did my wife's. The screens just freezes and after about 10 seconds would start working again. I kept thinking my router was flaky and or the internet service. I had made 2 calls to the ISP in the last few days after a hard rain and power outage. They had to reset my modem to get it to work again. My on-line banking wouldn't accept my passwords two times as well

Thanks Steve I thought it was just the distance thing. I have been trying to get my Internet provider to increase their speeds but they are way behind. There are only 2 PC's on this line and the wife uses Face book and does all those crazy Farmville, PetVille and FrontierTown. So she does slow it down sometimes.

I have been using a Linksys Wireless G router for years now and am wondering if my connection speed would increase with the N router. I live in a remote area and have slow 3 Mb speed. I typed in Speed tests and checked the speed with about 10 different testers and found I am running real slow compaired to what I should be. On average I had 1300 to 1400 download speeds. and 210-214 Upload speeds. Only one test showed 2930 download speed. So getting an N router going to help or just good for distance? This is just one of those things I never kept up with.

Got it fixed today. First tried numerous things I found on the internet. Then I uninstalled IE8 and reinstalled it. Still not working. I then deleted all Cookies,Temperary Internet files and anything else I could from IE. That still didn't do it. SO I went to AVG toolbar and deleted History and Cookies from it. Then it quit having script errors. Other things I did try was Spybot search and Destroy,Malwarebytes, Trend Micro's free scan and AVG full scan. It was in the tool bar for AVG that fixed this. One other thing.. My wife had a program called Mcafee Virus scan Plus on her system. She coul

Wife just started having script errors and I tried to turn off Debugging and after applying the advanced options it turns script debugging back on some how. It is telling her the line 31 "length is null or not an object" She just tried Firefox and doesn't have the problem. Any idea why it reapplies the settings back to debugging? I reinstalled Java so that wasn't it.

Thanks guys I guess Windows Help did know something this time. She opened Help and fixed it herself. I have used help many times before without and resolution. I will let her konw about the laptop loading last. IPConfig is one of those I had forgotten about.

Daughter is having a conflict with one of her Laptops. She is a conflict IP address error everytime she tries to load IE. I haven't been keeping up with these things and have forgotten more than I know nowadays. I was going to tell her how to check her IP address's on her systems and I can't remember how to do that. Also how would she change the IP address if it is conflicting? Thanks in advance. Lefty

Google and many other tool bars can be doing this. If you want to allow pop ups and no one I know does, you can uninstall those Tool bars.

Thanks. I did find out that Easylink Advisor doesn't work as well as Easylink Connect. I did find Easylink Connect on my saved files and ran it and it allows me to find the info I needed. Neither of these programs installs into ad/remove programs in The Control Panel so it was hard to figure out until I ran Easylink Connect. I knew I could just reboot and start from scratch but was wondering if the info was accessible without doing that and this program does just that. Thanks again.

I have a Wireess G Router 4 Ports. I downloaded the newest software for it and ran the setup. After a few days the system thinks it is a new Router and wants to run the setup again. I did print out the Encryption Code so I could setup my Wii and Laptop to it. It took me 3 tries to get the correct one as I had 3 of them printed out for different dates and the printouts are not dated. My question now is: Can I just type in something in command mode to find the Code or do I just have to run the setup each time I loose the print outs? I tried to use Linksys Easy Link Advisor but every thing is gra

Thanks Guy's, I got it fixed. What I did was reset it to the default settings and then created a new Home page and now it saves it the way it should. Not sure why it got messed up, I guess it could have been the updates at one point did that along with my wife installing Tool bars which I got rid of.

FireFox 3.5.3 It's the newest version as it just updated a while back. It has done this before the update so it isn't the new version only. Thanks

My wife's Laptop doesn't save home page in Mozilla. I have set it to show home page and made the home page before saving. Every time you load up Mozilla it comes back to Show last page/s and the home page is gone. I've Run MalwareBytes,Spybot and AVG and can't find anything other than cookies. This is with Windows Vista Home Basic. And Mozilla is updated to the newest version.

I have a person with the above named machine that started deleting files and deleted some of Vista. How do you get to the PC Restore from boot? Is it the CTRL and F11 keys or has it changed on that model? And does it even have the Vista on a partition?
