For some reason when I double click on some links they wont open. The curser changes to the little finger dude, but nothing. I tried opening in a different window so I could see whats happening and it just says connecting. Not every linkk is like this, I'm bummin. For example the post about the new guys 75lt I can't open, my login button for my bank wont open. The new thread button here worked fine. I can't open any link when I use my comcast search engine but bing is cool. Someone help.

 

New guy with the LT here, sorry to hear this try right clicking then hitting open.

 

tried that too

 

I just left click once and it works, maybe you have a virus? maybe try a disc defragment.

BTW 75CAMAROLT photobucket is allot better than imageshack, you can paste pics in the threads for easier viewing.

 

Use Linux (Ubuntu is best IMO) or get a Mac. Problems solved. But if you insist on windblows then it sounds like you have a trojan or a bot taking up your bandwidth and breaking your firewall. Try running malwarebytes and your AV program and see what happens.

I'm not nearly as computer savy sa I am with cars. So if my computer came with widows then windows it is. I almost bought a mac and dunno why I didn't I guess the HP was a better deal. I may just have to bring it to my electronics prof. He also teaches computer repair so that should help.

 

I was anti-mac/apple for quite a long time. I can run a computer, repair and manage them like nobody's business. I got into College for Computer and Network Security and there we worked with alternate OS's like Linux and Unix. I got to really like the open source stuff and now I have more alternate OS's than windows. The Mac thing hit me when I applied for a job and they asked if I had Mac experience. I didnt but I was framiliar with the OS from my UNIX and Linux experience. It didnt matter to them I didnt get the job. So I went out and bought a Mac-Book Pro and a couple of books on the OS-X operating system. Now I use my little Mac more than my PCs. Great little machine, more expensive yes but worth it. My next desktop machine may be a Mac as well. and the iPad will end up in my collection too.

My grandaughter is my computer expert! At 11 she already knows way more than I'll ever know!

 

I ran Norton and Windows defender. I had a currupted c drive but its been that way for awhile. I think I fixed that today but still no change. Anyone? The other day I woke up an every light on my modem was flashing, related or not?

 

it might be related to your internet issue. Have you restarted your modem recently? If not do so and see if that helps. Leave it off for like 5 minutes before plugging it in again.
