"Processor Problem?"

[Also posted in pc forum but nobody seems to be posting at the moment]

My computer just froze (which happens to most machines from time to time) so I manually restarted it and came to the main desktop. I tried to open Internet Explorer to come back online, but nothing happened...

I waited a bit and tried again. Nothing.

I then opened word just to check stuff was still working. Word opened.

Then a couple of seconds later everything else I had clicked (explorer windows and messenger) all popped up at once.

Is this a lag with my processor or something? I have just had an AMD 2.6+ installed, so I assume it should be rather fast.

Any ideas whats up with this tart of a machine I am running?

Yes Im with NTL robin.

Cookies are enabled, I have 1192mb of temp internet space allocated.

I don't have any problems with 512KB broadband. Have you disabled cookies or changed your protection settings? Go into Internet options though the control pannel and make sure you have cookies enabled and that you have a reasonable amiunt of Temp internet space.

You with NTL paradox?

100kbs

What connection speed do you have?

Can anyone tell me:

1. Why when I try and select something in my hotmail thing it doesnt work and I get and "error on page" message at the bottom left of my screen?

2. Why I cannot download Shockwave player from: http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/ download/triggerpages_mmcom/default.html

3. Why?

Not the processor.
I have to wait about 15 seconds after i turn my computer on to wait for all the apps to start up, eg: Norton

Yeah I do.

Up until Novemeber of las**t year I didn't know half of what I do now. When building my PC I researched sh*t loads of s**tuff. You live in Wes**t Yorkshire don't you?

I need someone who knows their stuff to come over here and sort the whole thing out
