Help - Lap Top screwed I think!!!!!!!! Going so s........l...............o................w

I have a something called a Common Folder which keeps opening up everytime I switch my lap top on, I have to wait to click out of it, and then wait again for it to clear. Description square, white infill, top left hand corner Common, and its completely empty, haven'taclue where it appeared from, and its really bugging me...........

I have done all the obvious checks, cannot get rid of it.........

Apart from wiping the system clean is there anything else I can try......

very informative - glad I'm not the only one with it

followed click Start click Run type in msconfig ok start up - done that - should show Common Folder - uncheck it - but I cannot see it.

opens up to System Configuration Facility green dot on normal start up load all devices, drivers, service.

rather worried about clicking on something that might wipe my system anyway.

Chris · 18 Nov 2006, 21:51

I don't believe it does Dottie.

Right can you help me please

Since downloading Explorer 7 I do not have the luxury of File/Edit etc at the top of the page to use for copying and pasting, so how do I do it now, have tried right clicking to highlight but then ther isn't anything to copy click, or paste click, hope you understand what I mean.......

R. · 12 Dec 2006, 21:52

Use the keyboard shortcuts CRTL+C/CTRL+V or right click in a free part of the tab area (left to the homepage symbol) and turn on the menu bar.

*AndyK* · 12 Dec 2006, 21:52

Quick solution is to press your Alt key and the menu bar appears with the usual options in it,

dottie · 12 Dec 2006, 21:59

and sorry I'm so thick, well Ellis thinks I am, he screamed at me when I asked him what to do

Any ideas on how I can find out someone elses Hotmail password? (this is a revenge, btw, a little thug who shall remain nameless stole my password along with a heap of my hard earned cash, and I wish to return the favour)

L96 · 18 Dec 2006, 10:36

That's a no, then, is it?

dottie · 26 Dec 2006, 22:02

Have you got a pdf writer programme?

**RadioMaster** · 09 Jan 2007, 22:38

Just switched to the text mode on Adobe Acrobat. Dont have a writer.

*AndyK* · 09 Jan 2007, 22:43

Dunno then ... sorry

**RadioMaster** · 30 Mar 2007, 21:49

lets see if anybody can help me:
Suddenly some of the text lines (not all) on my pc became so tiny and little that it's very hard to read them.
Some of them, like my signature here, are just 4 or 5 pixels high.
Any idea?

take this screenshot as example:

Blackkat13 · 16 Apr 2007, 21:01

Ok I got a free subscipiton to Norton and I got 28 days left on it I was told if you buy it from the store you can install it. My problem is everytime I try to install it It says either I got norton Secrity or norton personal Firewall is blocking it and to remove it.

Question 1 How do I get this to install do I take Norton out fully then install it or what?

Question 2 I payed almost 40 bucks for it do I have to pay another 40 cause I heard I have to subscribe to norton?
