Qwazywabbet MTW issue

[WillRiker]

I'm posting this on behalf of Qwazywabbet as he is having all kinds of issues getting on to MTW lately so I thought I'd post his problem and see if any of the MTW computer boffins can provide an answer...

I been having problems for the last week. For some reason
I can't navigate mortys. I get to the front page just fine, and every now and then I might get to one of the threads.
But most of the time,,I click on one I get a error message,,
something about memory can't be read. I think it has something to do with logging which threads I been on,,,
Anyway,,I put a pic in my pics here on myspace,,



I don't think it has anything to do with my computer,,all the other sites I visit work just fine. But they don't keep track of the threads I read and such,,,so I don't know.
Anyway,,I appreciate any ideas or help you can come up with.
Hope ya have a great day. Eddy

A quick google search found this:

To get rid of this problem all you need to do is this:

1. Press Windows Flag (Windows Key) + Pause break key. If you don't have the Windows key (most keyboards should have this - right beside the Alt key) just right click on My Computer and click Properties.
2. Go to the 'Advanced' tab
3. Under 'Performance' click on 'Settings'
4. Under the 'Visual Effects' tab uncheck the first four check boxes
5. These 4 boxes are "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing", "Fade or slide menus into view", "Fade of slide ToolTips into view" and "Fade out menu items after clicking". Please note that if you are running other localizations of Windows XP (for example Windows XP Portugese) you have to find the options that somewhat describe the options mentioned above, since they might not be the first 4 options.
6. To make your computer even more faster, uncheck other checkboxes for the effects that you feel you can live without, for example "Slide taskbar buttons" etc...
7. If you like your Windows XP theme the way it is don't uncheck the last option that says "Use visual styles on windows and buttons". I also recommend you leave the "smooth edges of screen fonts" and "Use common tasks in folders" options unchecked"
8. If you don't use a wallpaper then I recommend you also uncheck "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"
9. Click on 'OK'

After doing this the problem with sysfader should instantly go away (hopefully). And your computer is going to become much more faster without those annoying (at least I find it annoying) effects slowing it down. Please read other articles on how to make windows xp faster if you want to make your computer faster, and get rid of other .exe errors with windows that seem to happen oh so frequently.

Thanks Chump,,,Tried it,,,didn't help. However,, I am closing in on the problem. Seems to be a "add on". And it seems to effect both of my browsers. I'm here with add-ons disabled now. I can navigate the site ok,,,but the videos and such don't load. Grrrrr ! ....Anybody know anything about add-ons ??

click on tools > manage add ons > enable or disable add ons

then post a couple of pics of what addons are loaded and have been used

also download any updates for ie7 there was a security update released last week

[Morty]

In IE there is also a RESET DEFAULTS function in various places. May help.

If using IE7. Hit the ALT key so the FILE -EDIT- VIEW-TOOLS bar shows.

Click TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS

On the ADVANCED tab, click the RESTORE ADVANCED SETTINGS button.

Then click the RESET button just below that.

Close your browsers 110%. Then reopen the browser and see what happens.

As for videos, start with updating a few things.
Go here, but make sure you pay attention to the Free Toolbars it may try to install. If you don't want them, UNcheck the box.

Then go here:
Adobe Shockwave Download Center

Also get the latest Media player here:
Windows Media Player 11 for Windows Vista

Update us with what happens.
----------
That Windows Media Player link for VISTA also has a link on that page if you are using XP to download that version.

I think qwazzy needs me to go fix it

[smilin heinz]

Qwazzy I had a similar problem with yahoo browser, don't know if that's the browser you use but I had to put on a new antivirus program called Avast and it took care of the issue with my browser! I would try this, can't hurt.

avast! antivirus - high security and protection from malware with anti-spyware and anti-rootkit software built in

I already had AVG and it wasn't working. But, try it, it caught one trojan and 7 other problems too!

p.s. it could of had something to do with my computer readin that PD was going to come fix it,,,I notice it shook and stood up straight when it read that.
