I am so destitute that I don't even own a computer (I make all this blogging magic happen on other people's equipment). But I am fortunate enough to have access to my roommate's old laptop - which has worked great for me until this weekend.
I noticed a day or so ago that this old Dell seemed to REALLY be slowing down. By this morning, it had slowed to a crawl - and even accessing my comments took forever. I swear to God, I was so frustrated that I was ready to throw this bitch out the window and take a long break from blogging - because there is no way I can buy a new computer. But I restrained myself.
Another strike against me as a Blogger is the fact that I have very limited computer knowledge. I can hunt down and post pics of hotties - and that's about it. But I DID happen to notice a little icon on the lower right side of the screen (on the taskbar thingy) that I didn't recognize. After HOURS of trying, I was able to remove whatever it was.
Thank the Baby Jeebus, it seemed to work. Although everything is bigger on the screen now - which I can deal with. And for some reason my cursor is now a friggin' seashell. Again, no reason to throw the computer away.... Yet.

So I am watching My Girl right now and bawling my eyes out over the death of Thomas J. The last nit about your cursor being a seashell made me laugh, thank you! It's quite pitiful being home alone with your 2 cats crying over Macaulay Culkin on a Sunday night...
I wish I could help you more, maybe if I was there, but definitely not over the interweb. Sorry, especially since my last comp melted itself.
Oh no! If you're still having problems with the laptop, give me a call.
A Good Ho never, ever gives up. She's out on stroll with her ugliest, nastiest shoes and still works it! So pull your shit together and work it HO!.f

Mamie- ditto what Joy said! And you think you don't know about computer shit, what about me. I can't even enter in a frikkin link!!!!!!!
Pretty much everything I do is either someone else showing me or I stumble onto it. Shall we have a healing intervention for the laptop? I can lay on hands and annoint it with oil ;)
well don't feel bad. My white out doesn't work on any of my documents. I save, boot up again and there are all the mistakes still.
lol! i'm pretty computer savvy so if you ever need a hand send me an email. we're gonna have to take up a collection to get you a new laptop soon though :-)
