calling all intellegent people: help me!
 

OK so my pc is seriously pissing me off big time. Please help me. Everything runs fine but when I open ICQ or MSN everything freezes and the words that I type dissapear when I type them and show up a few seconds to minutes later. ANYWAY.

I have ran spybot, ad-aware, norton professional, win xp manager, defragged, checked disk, deleted temp files and cookies, emptied recycle bin, redownloaded icq, deleted un needed progs, gotten windows updates and still no solution. Any ideas? I seriously need to be able to IM people at this time. Help?

how much memory do you have?

format, then reinstall windows, then use IE to download firefox/opera and NEVER touch ie again.

Been using icq and msn for 2 years with virutally no probs.

Give it a good smack on top of it and yell out piece of shit!

get a ps2 or Xbox

that works with older pc's :1orglaugh

if you need to do something urgently and cant wait, check out ICQ express... i dont know about msn having anything like that tho.. they might never heard of it tho

Hit <Ctrl><Alt><Del>, click Task Manager, select tab Processes and look which process is eating all you CPU time.

Or download it, burn a cd/put in on an other partition. And really never touch it:D

Or try ICQ2Go

the new icq acts up like that for me... i hate it..

MSN hmmm... always works fine for me..

Im sorry I didnt resize that guys. SOrry:(

Ahahah :)

i see nothing special - does it happen with other applications too or just with msn/icq?

only think i can suggest you is to format disk

Heh, sorry for quoting with such a pic.

Hmm.. sorry Stephanie but that looks like a pretty clean Windows..
I don't think it's infected by something.

Try running Your scanners from Windows' "Safe-Mode", they may miss otherwise.
Could be it's infected by something still though, in that case: project reformat :(

Good luck in any case :thumbsup

Sounds familiar, i had the same problem with one of my computers - the problem was a corrupted ccapp.exe.

ccapp.exe is a part of Norton AV and after
a deinstallation of it and a new install of
Norton AV everything was back to normal.

could it be overheating? try cleaning your fan with air

Sometimes adware notices sypware in the reg but is unable to remove it. You would have to do this manually in the reg. Check the report adware gave you for this.

how much space left on you C drive..?

Check out ICQ express, you just cant save your history.

No wonder you didnt respond to my icqs... well, among other reasons perhaps. =)

Have email steph?

I'm going to second this. In the past couple of weeks I started getting erratic behaviour for no apparent reason. Then yesterday my fan started groaning like a truck. Opened up the box to find the fan and heat sink completely packed with dirt. Actual dirt (Arizona is dusty, to put it mildly). It's a miracle the whole thing hadn't gone up in flames.

Anyway, several Q-tips and a can of air later, things are running much more smoothly...

Make sure you're not running zonealarm 5.5. If you are, uninstall and install 4.5

Switch to Trillian It's free, it has both icq and msn (also IM and Yahoo), and it has a decent history (unlike ICQ).

You talk real purty,

And now a helpfull anwser :Graucho

Turn off clearmem .. i know back it seriously fucked with msn by me .. a few years ago.

Maybe thats the same problem by you.

any new status yet?

Like the post above try Trillian. You can also download Opera's browser which has a Chat Client prog built in.

I am surprised no one pointed out that she spelled intelligent wrong
