Default Okay.....need to ask you guys a question.....

Alrighty guys.....this is a little OT but bear with me....

has anybody had any problems with their computers this week.......I installed an update of Internet Explorer 6.0 I beleive......

And since then i have had my computer lock up totally about 20 or so times........it will be runnin fine and then bring up a gray screen....and nothing will work from there on......

I have to reboot and hope I'll be able to do what I have to......then BAAM!!!!! there it goes again......

Now Today is has seemed to not happen BUTTT......I just read some where else that people were having probs and it sounds a little familiar.......

I'm runnin' 6.0.26 and occasionally I, too, have complete lock-ups. For me it seems to happen primarily when I try to load/view videos whether streaming or in-place.

Thumbs down

I just updated to 6.0 this week. All kinds of weird crap going on! Lockups, slooooooow, and I keep getting a fatal error message. When I click off the error message, I get dumped off the internet.
Is the new board still sloooooow for others? I'm still on a dial-up modem.
I still can't post images. Would someone direct me through the steps, please!!!

After I upgraded to 6.0 I couldn't get into any secure sites, bank acct., ebay, etc. I went back to before I upgraded and everything is fine.

SIMPLE !!!!! click start, settings, windows updated,,, then clicl on product updates ( takes a while to load even with cable ) and select the updates that deal with your problems,,, its just an operating system confilct.
