Computer help, please? I need it rather quick in case my internet goes out too.

Yeah storms can definately cause connections to go out, but in your case it doesn't seem to be that, otherwise you wouldn't even me able to go onto PT. Sometimes messengers can be jerks. I know mine doesn't always work either. It's annoying.

Ugh. Stupid internet.

I wish these scans would hurry. The lights are flickering.

What kind of storm is it? I hope that you'll be okay.

A suggestion before you try to use the messenger programs again:

Unplug the computer from the network connection.

There are some malware programs that can block the functionality of some A/V and spyware removal tools. If you disconnect the network they don't work.

I tried before the scans finished and now MSN works. I haven't tried Yahoo but I bet it does too. Oh well, was time for my scans anyways.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

MSN does that to me sometimes as well. It has nothing to do with our computer when it happens, I'm almost certain it's on MSN's end.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Silly Microcrap.

I still want a Mac.

Do you have electrical tape? maybe that would help the cable line.
