recovering from a migraine

Almost had one today, but I had pre-migraine pills that helped, for once. :woohoo:

Pissing right off at my computer.

I've been away from it mostly, except for a few peeks, for a couple of days. I tried to get on here today and my box re-started.

OK

So, I go again.

I load up about ten pages I've missed lately, try to reply to something and my box re-starts, again.

I'm a little pissed. I know Firefox just updated something and my internet provider just updated my verification software, but I have a relatively new install of WinXP I'm poking at here.

I am going to have to put the geek hat on or something and sort this out if it happens again.

Have a look at your event logs, especially the system log. If you need help, PM me the relevant event IDs and I'll try to help you sort it out.

Yep, I just did that a bit ago. It is the ISP verification software trying to open their home page against my will. There is no doubt.

I hate them (with boots on!).

Download a program called HijackThis and use it to locate whatever it is that tries to open that home page. Be careful, though, because a lot of the stuff HijackThis lists is legit.

What ISP are you using? And what's the verification software?

(You don't already know this or haven't looked?)

It's Netzero and the software is their own proprietary befucklement! (You have to download their software, install it and run it in the background to get on)

I've seen HijackThis, but I've not tried it.

I used another homepage preserver once and the Netzero software became corrupt and pouted. I have tried to go manually, but that also causes problems.

I'm afraid they are like Symantec and if you actually alllow them into your computer, they think they own it.

As long as I let the page begin to load and then close it with a mouse click it doesn't cause errors. They are smarter than I

I have my boots on already, but I have not found a reasonable alternative that is available at my address. Even my cable company can't offer me services. I may end up with AT&T  DSL dialup, because that is my only other option.

Obviously any dilalup service would be differentr, but I want to upgrade my speed also.

Fuck IT!

I need to move. It's just not worth it.
