Our desktop computer is not having these problems so I don't believe it is Comcast. What happens is I go to type out an e-mail in AOL or I'll go into TOTV and try to click new posts and it just sits there. On AOL it will type a couple of letters and then stop. On TOTV I'll use the scroll bar and it will jerk and move very slowly.
I have tried a new wireless mouse and it didn't act any differently. I have checked for processes running and have disabled all that happen during the day so I don't believe any updates are running, but that could be an option. There just aren't any showing up in the tray. I tried alt, control, delete and looked at the task manager and nothing will be there except AOL. I am running AOl from the AOL website and it works fine on our desktop at the same time. Any ideas?  |
Hi All!
I wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post about my computer slow downs. It got worse before it got better. At the end of the day yesterday it crashed. This morning it booted ok. I began troubleshooting it trying to think of anything I could do. I decided to check on Internet Explorer and tried to download an updated version. That was unsuccessful as I already had the latest version. Then I typed in the help screen to "repair internet explorer". That came up with a suggestion to "reset internet explorer" to its defaults. I did that and it was like magic!! It's back to better than great! I'm thinking an internet explorer update was the culprit that was not compatible with my windows vista. I also have discovered that my mouse wheel is skipping and ordered a new one of those. Easy fix $24.00. Thanks again to everyone!!
