Computer problems, Conflicting, Heritage Basket Studio & Chair Caning, Mitchell Webster, Start Up Programs
Well this morning after running all sorts of Antivirus programs and coming up totally clean, I remembered that I had downloaded a program called Microsoft Fix It, and so I ran it, and it says that I have to many conflicting programs running on start up, that I need to check some of them off, so they can make them not start all at the same time.
However the problem is for me, I am NO COMPUTER GURU, the programs are not like Yahoo, Firefox, etc. they have other names and I have no idea which programs need to be kept and which can be started later.
So now I am trying to figure out how in the world to find out which you need and which you don’t without screwing things up further. So I am very close to actually having a functioning laptop. The computer has been left plugged in and on for two days now, as I am afraid I cannot get it started again if I turn it off.
Any suggestions on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Another thing you can do Mitchell is to put each start-up program in a Search to learn more about them.
And also if they are absolutely necessary at start-up or if they can be turned off. That’s how I handled my PC problems with my ten year old ‘puter.
And if you have tons of downloads and pictures, you might consider taking them off the computer and putting them on zip or flash drives. That will help lighten the load on your hard drive, too.
