computer trouble on topic?

[Russ Braaten]

I think this is on topic because I am having trouble with all web surfing including looking around the forum, especially looking at your great photos.

Please go to http://russbiz.net/ramtrouble.html and see if you can help after reading my trouble report.

Thanks Tons!

Russ

The best site for computer help is http://www.tomcoyote.com/
If they can't help you there, you just can't be helped lol. Save the link, it is worth it's weight in gold.

When you get there, go the forums, and then to other computer problems and post what is wrong.

Do you have a keyboard that has any special loading buttons on them, such as "Email" or "Web"? There have been some issues with the keyboard drivers continually trying to load, say a webpage, and the browser and/or Windows execute protection blocking the page load. This would be one reason your ram would be eaten up.

Another suggestion, click Start / Run and type msconfig. Hit enter, then select the Startup tab. I suggest un-checking anything you do NOT need in your startup. Reboot and see if that does the trick.

Did you go to the Tomcoyote forum? The people there will most likely have you download a program that will print out a list of everything in your registry, then they can help you clean it up. They have saved me many times. It sounds kind of like a browser highjack of some sort that is eating your resources.

Yeah, this is likely to be a spyware program and not a firefox/mozilla program. Try downloading these 2 programs, and running them:

1. Spyware Search & Destroy
2. Ad Aware

They are good stuff...
