And this is on a good day. Plus in my favorites, I have three folders:
Jason-Folder for everything
Forums-Folder for assorted forums
Links-There when I started and just, well, sits there.

But as of 8/19/03 12:22 A.M., I start seeing a folder called cool sites with crud in it, even when I delete it, it appears. If you have to see the picture, then I can get one...yes Ooze, as an attachment in case you were curious. Theres also a blank webpage that reappears everytime I delete it. Any help in either of these would be great, if not, thats ok.....I think. :( :( :( :[

OK, the data looks ok from here, but I'm a little worried about that pop-up and link in your fav list. It sounds like you have some spyware on your computer that is forcing information into your computer. I would go to www.download.com and do a search for "spybot: search and destroy". That application is a spyware removal application. Run that on your machine and delete anything it requests you to. After that run a full Anti virus on your computer with the most up to date information available from your provider. Between those two items, you should fix most of your problems.

I have a funny feeling that stuff in my task manager should go.

I noticed this problem when I got off Kazaa, and when I tried to run something, it said not enough memory. I attempted to uninstall Kazaa but I didn't have enough memory to do that either. So I deleted everything Kazaa that had its name in it. I hope I didn't forget something.

Well, there's your problem.....kazaa. You'll get all kinds of bad software/spyware/freeware/shareware. I'd suggest getting rid of it. Then, buy a mac and use the iTunes Music Store. :D
George :P
