Other - Computers - November 2006

my computer was just recently hit with a virus of somekind and when it hit, i noticed that i couldn't be able to see my desktop items or my start bar at start up. When i start up it will show my start bar but not my desktop items. Give it about 2 seconds and this Error comes up saying "Explorer Error: This has preformed a illegal opp. and will be term". So i hit "x" but then my screen is nothing but my background. What can i do? The Virus and Worms have been cleaned out and everything is good except this. I DON'T have my install disk that origionaly come witht he computer. Miss placed somehow.

Okay, well, when I go to the "address window" and type in 'www' and then a letter of the alphabet, it goes down to a bunch of different websites that I have visited in the past. Well, how do I delete them?

I have plenty of hard drive space but for some reason my IE browser is slower than before. Cleaned disk,defragmented everything I can think of. This was faster before but now is much slower, I have windows XP if that helps. I would really appreciate any help at all that you may have. THanks Charlesg

I'm using a school computer, and it won't let me go to www.myspace.com or www.youtube.com. Therefore, I can't check my email/messages on there. How could I check my mail, using a school computer which limits the sites I can go to?

Oops, we can't open the web page you requested ...- Error Unknown - Unknown error with URL?
I then have to go back and click on the link again in order for ir to work which is quite irritating and time consuming. Does anyone know why this happens although the link is correct and how I can prevent it from happening again. Thanks for your help.
