Alright fellas, over the last 3 months ive fought and fought with my GF's computer and now i dont know what do..

 

What i know: Running windows XP, sevice pack 2

 

What i need: the computer seems to have the problem of running active content on the internet as well as not like to sign in to email and now it wont get on any internet application such as aim, msn messenger, pokerstars, or mozilla for that matter.

 

Ive tried to change the cookie setting and change the internet options. ive disabled all firewalls i have control of but nothing will work... does anyone have any ideas.....

 

 

Thank You if you can help...

heh, I've been having the same problem to, I don't think colleges use cable since cable has that problem when the server has to many users connected it slows down like a mofo. Did you try switching by connecting to a proxy?

Try using a spyware scanner to see if there is any spyware on the computer and remove it.

well i tried using spyware doctor and it found alot of problems and acually i think that might have fixed the run active content,

 

but i still can't use any internet programs such as names above...
