Help! Computer Problem

[juanhacko]

Help!

I cleared everything off of my computer--apparently more than I needed to--to load a new version of Virus scan.

The reason I'm bugging you guys is this the only place I can communicate to--I can read E-mail--but not send--some, but not all web pages come up blank--and say done at the bottom--chat is totally dead. Windows media player 9 cannot open--says a file not found--but internet radio works fine.

I 've got windows 98SE--I know its old--and Internet Explorer version 6. And I haven't even tried to install Norton Anti-virus yet--nor can I contact their webhelp site.

When I insert any CD in the drive, autostart works fine--but when you get into the program, I get the page with red X'S, but no info.

A DVD plays fine.

Do I need to reload internet explorer--or is there a simpler fix?

I know this is not horror--or is it?--

Thanks for your help.

I would just uses system recovery. Makes the computer like it was brand new. I have a XP, and I eneter the restore by pressing and holding down F10 during start-up when theres the black screen wiith the logo. Serch your computer for system restore, but I warn you, save all important photos and stuff to a floppy disc.

Thanks Freddie C and Sistinas.

Possibly Freddie C's will work for Sistinas.

Unfortunately Windows 98 SE does not have a similar feature--or if it does I don't know what it is called.

I sure do appreciate you guys--and Sistinas--help.

I think I'm on the trail,but is it Windows media 9, or is it javascript?

Computer still not working right--I was told to download I Explorer again--which I will--But meanwhile, I went to the convenience store for a soft drink--Best one dollar I ever spent!

Can't wait for tomorrow to cash it--See Fluffho--It does pay to work on old equipment.

I apologise!

I don't usually post after myself, but I found a repair tool in Windows 98SE for Internet Explorer 6 -- IT WORKED.


Thanks, everybody. for your patience.
