I think we've lost the Dawg for the rest of this Christmas Eve.

I still haven't partaken of any spirits. Maybe in a few minutes...

 

[Warpdrv]

Yeah.... post back on the results Dawg...

Oh and Merry Christmas to all.... !!!!


PS, maybe your RAM chip has taken a dump, I would at least take it out and re-seat it...

Merry Christmas back Warp. I think Dawg just said to heck with the puter and concentrated on the Scotch, Prolly had no problem down loading that.

It still seems pretty darn slow. If I click on IE, it pops up everything on the page in less than a second but then when I click on the next thing, like Audioholics, it takes about 11 seconds to pull that up.

I did get all my music back up and loaded.

Greg, I've lost track and am too lazy to reread this whole thing.

Is it slow with anything but IE?

Either way, seriously - get Firefox. Add on Adblock Plus, and you will be loving it. AH loads soooo much faster (at least for me) since I've done that.

Mornin DAWG !!!

Download and install Firefox....

Try using that instead of IE... you will notice its a much faster browser.

Downloading FireFox now.

I was just reiterating what you said yesterday.

I put off getting Firefox for years because I was used to IE. I am so glad that I switched.

Like what do you want me to test?

What else do you use the computer for? Is anything else slower than it was a year ago? Microsoft Office? Games?

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I really just surf the net and play all my music from this CPU.

[Adam]

Is playing music any slower than it used to be?

Dang, Dawg - get Firefox. NOW!!!

 

[Adam]

I'm going to make it easy:

• Firefox
• Adblock Plus (after you install Firefox)

 

[Warpdrv]

Lets just keep beating this into his head...

FIREFOX + ADBLOCK PLUS

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Playing music has never been slow.

I have FireFox, ADBLOCK and NOD32 at this point. Well, almost, I will check in a few.

[Warpdrv]

If you do end up dumping the computer, you can run NOD32 on what ever your current computer is...

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Right now it is like lightening....

 

[Adam]

Right now it is like lightening....

Seriously?

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Yes but I don't see where it downloaded NOD32.

Seriously?

I have a "drivers and utilities" disc that I can load too, it came with the computer. Should I do that or what you said?

The disc will work, but probably isn't as up to date as the online version. I would go with the online version if you feel up to it, if not you can get by with the disc. Just so you know, even if the computer is running well now, it is a good idea to have up to date drivers to avoid future problems.
