This is so annoying

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Which ones have you got? I use Adaware 6 and Spybot S&D, and as far as I can tell, they clear out everything. Certainly nothing bad happens.

Spyhunter

if you can't update profiles anywhere then you prob have cookie control set too high. r-click on IE applet and go to privacy and lower the security a notch. Better still, join the real world, abandon that Microsoft freeware rubbish and use a proper browser like Mozilla or Opera (how many times have i told you this?) and watch your IE related problems disappear. Esq and I have told you this countless times, it's not just being techy smartasses, I used to use IE too onvce and know how pathetic a browser it is.

uploads (ftp?) and email issues, ordinarily I'd say ISP because these are p-word dependent. have you at any point discussed this with your ISP? I appreciate Chief M'wezi Umboto doesn't spk to you anymore since you killed his pet lion, but you could apologise and give him a gift of a roll of brightly-coloured cloth and some beads.

it's also possible that if your using anti-virus you've blown off your server settings; for example Norton AV sets up a local proxy server for e-mail to scan incoming and outgoing mail. This sometimes results in your normal pop and smtp settings getting knackered. If you're using OE then this moves up the probability list. Again, I recommend abandoning the MS rubbishy free e-mail client, and using something more robust like Mozilla's e-mail and ng client.

it isn't memory.
it isn't connection.
it happens on both pcs, which is indicative that it's wrongly set up or that something common to both machines has altered settings, either through ignorance/accident, or through something more malicious like a viro or Trojan.

or it could just be you and your dark female energy destroying machines. I've seen that before. Mrs Taw destroys electronic cash registers. Everyone one she goes too breaks or spews out rolls or won't swipe the card (without fail - that's why she takes twice as long as me to do the shopping) and I've seen my friend Mandy walk down the street in a strop and every streetlight she goes past has blown. truly, I'm not exaggerating at all. Women are walking EMP devices.

GHMF
You have never told me to abandon IE and for the thousanth time, IT IS NOT IE, I have tried other borwsers, Netscape as well as Mozilla and it didnt work.

And no I will not apologise to Chief M'wezi , his lion caught my baby Springbok

Thanks for the advice Tawakalna .. Form now onwards sycho_warrior is banned from the pc's. So you people should'nt be to worried not hearing anything from her again

Post Sun Sep 19, 2004 2:00 am

haha very funny

Post Sun Sep 19, 2004 2:04 am

I have told you to abandon IE many times.

if you've tried other browsers and it's still a problem then it's either your dark technophobe aura or you've got serious viro problems or you've got a rubbish service. I had an ISP once where as soon as you went to refresh the page the connection dropped out (Telinco, utter rubbish)

I'd give the ISP a call, unf you'll have to do it with your bearers hyena skin drums, but that travels well on the veldt i hear. Although you may find you've summoned a herd of olifants.

Post Sun Sep 19, 2004 2:06 am

Thanks for the advice in anyway
It's working fine again now
Good thing if I summon a heard of elephants, I'll be sure to send them your way

Spix, i recommend keeping a record of how many times there's a problem when a female is using the PC compared to when its being used by a (reasonably competent) bloke. A pattern should reveal itself fairly quickly. Females put out some kind of negative energy that destroys computers, well-established empirical phenomenon that is

Post Sun Sep 19, 2004 3:22 pm

Hi sycho warrior

I have read some bad reviews about spy hunter, not supposed to be that
effective, adaware and Spybot are much better
I would change to those to be sure your pc is ok in the future
