    and I have no problem with no other sites? Sure is a pain in the ass starting my computer over and over. I'm on modzilla, not IE. Computer lady says I need to buy a faster computer to fix it.

    Same here.
    However, yesterday I received an update on firefox, and this site was screaming fast. For about an hour. Now I'm back to having to reload each page about 3 times to get it open.

    I've tried the cleaning up thing, deleting cookies, temp files, etc.... but no change.

    Pro just sez, buy a new one $500-$600.00. Then gives be a quote of $890.00. She reminds me of an HVAC-Guy. I have NO trouble on any other site in the whole wide world. Why just THIS one??????

    I have no clue. Haven't been on the web for a while but mine seems to be working good. Lots better than dial up that has kept me silent for bout a year. Maybe it's those alternative sites????????????

    I noticed my acted up too, right around the time they started with those animated flashing dodge and rheem ads.

    Do you have the newest version of the flash player?

    That did not take long...no surprize.


    Spotts, sending that porn to me should correct your computer problems...oh no need to thank me your welcome.


    Or ask Dice how his computer runs at all, they thought he was growing weed in the basement at first.

    Is your computer low on freon or have bad air flow??? Just a guess, I'm no computer guru.
    Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is already made up.

    Connect the gauges and then figure it out. Have your P/T charts ready - many computers (particularly the Britney units) use oddball refrigerants (R152a, R404a, R507, etc.) although some use very common refrigerants (R22, R134a, R410a).
    If there is not enough airflow and cleaning doesn't help, put a surplus automotive ECM fan inside. I put one in my Athlon 64 and it ran cooler than ever!

    I'm currently vacuuming my new computer so I can charge some R134a into it. Then I'll have to tune it up and do a run of Fear Factor to check the performance.
