Don't try downloading the new version of flash player & flash plug in 10...there is a bug. It would crash & then yopu have to reload each time. I'm wondering, how in the heck do I get back to 9.0? I went to the abode site & downloaded the zip file to get it. When I go to re-install it, it would take me to the site & they have #10 instead of 9.0

wetware: IE 8...I didn't know about IE9 . The last time I tried downloading IE8, there was so many things wrong w/ it that I had to get a repairman out.

I'm wondering it is safe to actually download the new version now? I'm on Firefox. Also, I have a abode flash plug-in that keeps crashing on me on certain game sites. Is there a way to fix it or would I have to redo the adobe flash player?

Gordon Shumway: Thanks! I was just curious about that

A get source of info is the Kim Kommando show. Not sure if anyone heard of her or not. I get alot of nice info in newsletters

I'm wondering, I changed my browser to FF. It is safe to get rid of IE or should I keep it on my comp just in case? I know that IE has alot of security problems & wanted to be sure if i could do that

MadMonkey: Not sure what that was but it kept popping up..shucks even the Dell tech person was surprised as well. I couldn't do anything. The personal security thing is a virus or a hacker

MadMonkey: The Uninstaller.....he finally got rid of the uninstaller in the add & remove part but the Personal Security thing popped up that they wanted me to but an $90 to 100 system from them

MadMonkey: Had a slight problem, when I went to click on the download part to actually delete the game, I had to accept the terms & conditions ( for some dumb reason). When my brother used my comp, the personal security from the site popped up & he or I couldn't even get back on-line except to check my mail. Had to re-install everything all over again

MadMonkey: I just used the Revo Uninstaller & it uninstalled every file that was w/ that game! Thank You so much! The only thing it kept is the icon in my add or remove section but i can deal w/ that part

MadMonkey: I haven't reformatted anything as of yet. The only thing that the tech did was re-installed everything from the Dell's disc's & they were even on the phone w/ another tech person. A completely brand new hard drive was installed. I was w/ them while they were doing it as well so I'm completely baffled myself

Czuch: Didn't save any files...the tech person re-installed everything from Dell. Haven't re-installed the game tho. That is what I thought as well, when you get a brand new hard-drive, you'll start off brand new w/ nothing left from the old 1. Not even sure how or why this particular game stayed.

I'm wondering on how to get rid of a game. I got the Survivor game on a disk & was playing it before my comp crashed. Got a brand new harddrive & that game is still on my comp. It is listed in my "add or remove" section. When I clicked on remove, It couldn't do it becuase it was either invalid or corrupted. A friend said that I can reformat everything but not quite on how to do it. Would there be something I do to get the game off my comp? System restore can't do anything. Thanks

They helped my brother to get me back on-line..1 problem tho...they told him that you don't have to run a DSL modem when you get back on (or something to that effect) I tried re-installing att/yahoo so I can have High Speed. When I got everything registered an such..all the files associated w/ it...I'll get a box saying please wait a couple of minutes before I re-start, it had that message for more than that...I played an entire music CD! LOL....when I get the boxes cleared, there would be 1 box saying system rebooted. Would that mean that the system is being re-booted to att/yahoo instead of MSN & how long would it take before the modem is actually put into the comp? Before, I always had to turn the modem on before I even start the comp.

MadMonkey: Thank You so much Mad! I haven't re-booted in such along time & was getting very much confused ( which isn't 1 of my strong points) LOL Can I be able to do this when I'm in safe mode?

MadMonkey: I have the disk for a complete re-install..just wondered if I have to delete everything in the task manager box or would I be able to do that when I'm in a "safe" mode? Compared to what I had to deal w/ earlier this is heaven at the moment! LOL

wetware: I can get the Task Manager up....would I have to delete everything (if possible) to do a re-install?

For some reason when I click on start, the things that are missing are Control, help, search & something else. I still can't get into the security tho...

Whoo Hoo! Actually got something accomplished! LOL....I downloaded both SpyBot & Ad-aware. SpyBot did what others didn't...It actually worked! It got rid of alot of things.

Mousetrap: It doesn't have it on my menu..or anywhere else unfortunately. The only time I would a message about task manager is if I press ctrl+alt+delete buttons at the same time. can't even do a re-boot at the moment

Just downloaded IE 7 & some add-ons but still have alot of pop-up's & pages showing up but it is running lot better than before. I'm wondering how I can enable the task manager or would Dell needs to do it? Just curious

Bernice: ! Finally have time to play & now it looks like I'll be calling Dell. I'll be playing phone tag that's for sure. A friend from work knows someone who does computer shows...if he can get it working normally again, my friend said that he can upgrade it bigtime LOL

Bernice: I tried that as well, but the only date it showed that I could do it is the same day. Even when I click for last month, stays in the current month

Getting all sorts of pop-up's saying Spyware alert or if i wanted to make IE my browser & more things w/ it. I then just click everything no an such. When I do log in, I don't have a background pic of anything but have a red screen w/ something for downloading anti-virus

ScarletRose: Nope....never changed either my firewall or virus programs & it shows that both are on. Never ran updates for IE. When I do a temp file delete at least 1 time each week, there wouldn't be anything in the MSN part, just in the temp files mostly. I could have picked up a virus of some sort because I can't turn on my Automatic Updates in my security. It will always be on but this week, it was turned off ( not by me) & when I click on the turn on part, nothing happens. Would get a thing that the security center can't turn it on. Then I'll go to automatic updates & click on when I would like the updates to be done. Today in fact, I set when it should be done. Stayed on-line during that time & didn't get anything for it showing either in my icons or when I went to log off.

Is there anyway to enable the task manager besides calling Dell?

ScarletRose: Windows XP Home Edition. I have downloaded IE7 & I would still have to re-install it. I can't even get into Control Panel let alone see it LOL

Bernice: I tried that but it only went to the same day that I tried it..not even an earlier date. Even tried doing the ctrl-alt & delete buttons but received a message that the task manager has been disabled by the admin.

I tried rebooting my computer & nothing seems to help.....my IE is completely messed up & the only way I can stay on-line is by using firefox. I'm also wondering if I could completely start over by deleting everything & then re-install everything back. Someone mentioned to me today that I can completely start new by holding down the Ctrl-Alt & delete button at the same time. I'm wondering would that completely do the job?
