I've had computer problems for the past 2 weeks ... some of the symptoms are (These happen intermittently):
- Can't open Task Manager by double clicking task bar.
- Can't open Hearts or other files and games in Start menu.
- Avast presents with "We're embarrassed ... can't open" screen with 2 options (1 Exit. 2 Retry). And Avast is disabled. Even in Safe Mode.
- When I run a full virus scan with Avast, even after an hour, I'm presented with a "progress" screen that shows 0% even after an hour.
- Hotmail/Outlook (email service) won't open.
- On Start Menu, Restart and/or Shut Down do nothing.
- File folders take forever to load and/or populate.
- Sometimes when a web page doesn't load, there's a message in the bottom left that says, "resolving host". Page is usually still trying to load and usually never completes ... endless loop?
- Links on some pages don't load, although the busy little arrowed circle (top left) seems to be trying.
Broni has helped me in the past with issues ... he's very good at fixing problems.
Thank you,
Dennis
