anyone fancy coming round to sort this bloody pc out for me?

its poorly and its doing my nut in

i'm not using ie at the moment, i'm ATTEMPTING to use firefox (when it works) in the evening for some reason it buggers up a lot and tries to go through ask. com (which incidently i dont even have installed on my pc)

its hard to explain but it does my head in, i'll go to firefox and type in the website or click on my favourites and it goes to that stupid website

i think all it needs is windows completely taking off and re-installing, i have a windows disc here., think my pc just needs some sort of servicing....before i kick it
 
Mine did the same this morning Flashers, and wont connect to my usual homepage, which is bt yahoo, so could be an ie or yahoo problem I think. And no sooner have I typed this, than it has now connected!!

Is it a Dell or Compaq or HP and does it have a model name an number?

I ask because it might have a built in recovery partition or you may be able to download a recovery disk to put it back to how it was when it was new.

Compaq 6s27kn9zb002...or at least thats what it says on the sticker on the side of it
 
Mick i've got that much crap on this pc its unreal, it just needs wiping and re doing, just attempting to back up my music at the moment
 
I have lost Mozilla too, but could be something else .. have uninstalled and reinstalled, but no luck .. tells me 'Proxy server refused connection'. No trouble on IE or Opera ... so may not be similar.
 
spugs been having problems with his internet ... and hes using the 3 dongle ... what it is is an update thats making it go doolally ... and the firewall .... hes been doing a system restore and uninstalling the update. hes also turned the automatic updates off.

After that you'll have to ask him ...
 
ahhhhhhhhhh he's on exactly the same as i am Jen, he pm'd me about mine a few weeks back....thats exactly whats happening to mine...and more, J tried to faff about with it the other week but it was naffing up for him too


cheers for that Jen
 
Kate, opera is a load of toss, it never works on mine, dont know why i bothered installing it
 
This only happened earlier on this week ... he says its one of the updates for the modem .... dont know which one it is .. i'll get him online tonight when he lands ...
 
mine asked me to update last week and brought up a totally different 'connect' box after i'd updated it, J thought thats why mine was naffing up(because of the update) and he uninstalled it for me and then re-did it...and its still naffed

Mine did the update n it did the same. I unstaled it and reinstalled to the original version. The modem asked again for the update but i snoozed it for the max 3 days and keep doing it. Dont know why but it seems the update is incompatable with the old modem that run with the orange bars. Tried to mail 3 to get an answer that but still waiting. Was the uninstall don with the modem still in because if not it does not uninstall properly as I found out to my cost. Once done while in it should go back to factory settings.
 
I had a problem with mine today , I found it was windows 8 that was the problem . I did "system restore" and its been fine now thanks to mick .
