Re: Geocities HELP!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for your suggestions, but I can't do this. When I go to settiings to
delete files in IE, it stops responding. In fact, IE stops responding a LOT!
I also dowmoladed Netscape to try to get Yahoo PageBuilder to load and I had
the same problem as I had with IE. I've also donloaded the latest Java,
reconfigured Norton Web thing and all those suggestions from the Geocities
PageBuilder forums. Tons of peiople are having this problem with Windows XP.


Speaking of Windows XP, what is it with those donloads that you guys force
on us that cause thigns to stop working?

Guess I'm missing something but when I pay a FORTUNE for a computer system
using the latest technology and pay another fortune for cable access so that
things should run smooth and fast, I don't wnat to try this and that, I
expect things to WORK! Too much to ask, Microsoft?

I am slowly becoming a future Apple customer after using a computer since
before Windows even existed and things were compatable!
