bubbawmu2 Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 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...
Lucandrake Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 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?

bubbawmu2 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 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... also, i think played around with th proxy but if you can tell me what to try, ill give it another shot.
Lucandrake Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Try anymounus proxy's, if it works through there, then you know its your Internet connection, if it don't, then it has something to do with your comp
bubbawmu2 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) well the internet works fine but the aim and msn messenger and pokerstars or any other program that connects to the internet....not working. where do i go to change the proxy for those.. i tried just changing the proxy under internet options in internet explorer but that didnt influene the programs i want to work Edited April 16, 2005 by bubbawmu2
Lucandrake Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 idk if GC would let me post a proxy list on the server
bubbawmu2 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 i got a ip adress from that site's proxy list already and that didnt have any affect on those programs... read my last post, did i put it in the right place?
Lucandrake Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 damn, my computer has had this problem in the pass, did you try redownloading a updated AIM or MSN directly from there site? The problem fixes itself on my comp every so often or so
bubbawmu2 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) well i tried the proxy and aim didnt work, i reinstalled the update of aim... that didnt work, the only thing i noticed is under the proxy setting, advanced, there are curtain times or things you can use a proxy for....could i select one of those...if so, which one Edited April 16, 2005 by bubbawmu2
Lucandrake Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 bleh I don't take networking until next year so that's as far as I can help you on proxy's. Out of idea's, did you try connecting through AIM on another computer?
bubbawmu2 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) i know people in this dorm use aim, so it must be the computer... these problems started when service pack 2 was put on it but only today did aim stop working..... soon im going to get upset and put windows 2000 pro on it and leave it alone.. i never had problems like this with that.. Edited April 16, 2005 by bubbawmu2
Lucandrake Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 That is weird, surprisngly no one on the boared (considering the huge amount of brains here) has a answer, even I don't and I've been through this, I always reformat when I get some weird problem like this
