Major Frustration: My computer. It has gotten increasingly buggy over the last 2 months. Almost nothing opens without crashing any more and my mouse will stop working (problem with the drivers, not the mouse). Zach is working on it now. For the last week or so I have had to work from dh’s computer most of the time because mine is making me want to throw it across the room. It is a fairly old computer, as computers go, and still runs on Windows 98.
I know yall already had to have checked this, but, spyware?
Yeah, Zach has been running all manor of diagnostics on it. There was some spyware on it, but it appears that the main problem is corrupted files. He is backing everything up now and going to reinstall windows. Hopefully that will do it. We have been using AGV, which is a decent anti-virus program (free), but we might be getting some Norton after the first of the year. He is blaming most of it on the fact I tend to use IE instead of Mozilla along with it being a 98. That distro is famous for needing to be re installed every 6-12 months with even moderate use. lol.
