Hi , sorry I'm late, my husband desired womanly attention...
As I mentioned above, I had uninstalled (not disabled) Gator and did notice an improvement, but not fixed, so now I uninstalled the "Offer Companion" and have restarted. I will both browsers and report back ASAP. ALthough Netscape 6.0 did load much faster, and no weird typing stuff at the moment. I had uninstalled a few minuted ago and was trying to post but it locked up. But now I have restarted.
For good measure, I will shut down - UNPLUG for 3 minutes and begin fresh.

Testing posting...
I hope HTML works here, that's supposed to be bold. I'm going to Hotmail next to see how the composing there goes. I just fired it back up.
Typing in compose boxes is not totally cured yet, even in this small post it has done a couple weird things. What it does is very hard to describe. All of a sudden some of what I typed is gone, and the cursor won't GO anywhere, especially where it is supposed to - at the end of the text line, to continue. The only way to continue is to go to the middle somewhere and put the cursor there and "right arrow" over to the end again, and sometimes even then it stalls right before the end and won't GO. And when I cut and paste, the pasted text refuses to appear.
Anyway, I'm in Netscape 6.0. I'm going to try this in Hotmail and then open IE5 and try that...

Immediately after posting the above, I reloaded to see my post, and the cursor would move on the screen, but would not activate anything on the entire screen. It was a dead mouse. It would not even let me use the start button, nothing. I'm going back to the original plan and going to test the RAM now...
-
DocMem says my RAM is fine, passed all tests. I ran it twice to be sure. I'm going to try IE now to be able to say if there are improvements there.
What I have noticed a
bout Netscape 6.0 is that it does seem to be loading better, but the text stuff is still all messed up.
Another weird thing is that I can't use right click in the location bar to copy/paste, I have to use Control C/V. It's even hard to get it highlighted...
Sometimes machine language shows up instead. I'll try to catch some and post it.
-
geez, how discouraging. I opened IE5, and as soon as it was loading I got the BSOD.
"A Fatal Exception has occured at 0028:C001545A. The current application will be terminated."
I hit the space bar, and another one was there at a different location: 0246:014747FB
I'm going to wait till you guys come back and direct me to a new course of action.

Im guessing you have already run SCANDISK to check for errors, and repaired them all?
------------------
It says "CLICK NEXT".
What do I do?
-
You may be onto something there. I checked my schedule, and it seems it has not been scandisking as I had scheduled, for MONTHS. I never got a notice. I tried to do it 4 times (1 thorough, 3 standard) just now and it locks up, mouse moves but scandisk is froze. Attempting to cancel gives the BSOD. I am going to defrag, dump a bunch of MP3 files (they're backed up on CD) and try again. Give me an hour to do all that.
-
I dumped the music. Scandisk will still not complete. To be sure it is the drive and not scandisk I did the standard test on my D drive, 880MB's, it finished just fine. 0 errors. It still won't finish on C drive.
Should I go ahead and defrag it and try again or have you isolated the problem, and WHAT IS the problem? It's obviously somethibg on C, but is there anything else I can do to find out?
I'm waiting till you tell me so I don't do anything out of order.
-
Maybe uninstall IE? If that's possible... I think it is since I don't have 4.0 I have WIN98SE with all the updates.
-
I have an idea (...uh-oh ...there she goes - thinking again...) I can F8 and try to run it from safe mode...
-
If it wont complete the scan, there might be something writing to the C drive during the scan. So make sure all applications are disabled, including your screen saver and if you have a cable connection, unplug your connection till its finished. The reason for that is because your ISP usually pings you and this will interrupt scandisk.
------------------
It says "CLICK NEXT".
What do I do?
-
Try scandisk in safe mode, or dos.
Try IE repair. Often when you add/remove programs (especially ones that use the internet) they screw with IE.

Scandisk finished in Safe Morde, all is fine there..... BUT, I remembered something REALLY important that I was dying to tell you since scandisk was half done.
About 45 days ago, before I had McAfee, I used to go to House Call, it DID FIND A VIRUS. I could not locate anything aboyut it on the net. At the time I choose the option to delete. I didn't think much of it because it said it was in my FAVORITES.
BTW, right now NEtscape will not run, this is IE, go figure.
Here's the virus info:
It said it was: in my IE Favorites,
"Adult Friend Finder (free hot pics).URL - JSLogo.A
It might have been in a different order, like JSLogo.URL Adult Friend Finder (free hot pics) ...but that's all that the House Call said. Should I look for a corresponding line in the registry to delete? Or where can I go to clean up the remnants of this?
I suppose I can thank hubby for this mess.

Try Here and run this free AV software. Dump the McAfee.

I'm doing that now. McAfee is dumped, I'm waiting for the customer number to download the InoculateIT. Right now IE is running excellent, Incredibly excellent in fact, VERY FAST, not a single problem for the last 1/2 hour, but this never lasts for longer than a few hours, then it's back to the same thing. Netscape is locking up now, I just don't get this at all.
I'm going to defrag for good measure since the Scandisk was fine. Still don't have a clue.
