Page 1 of WHATS MISSING ?? HELP PLEASE
General Forum
I would appreciate any help I can get..
the problem... I have a problem with my P.C ( I am a complete novice )
I recently moved house and since setting up the computer its gone wrong.
I cant access my email- what I mean is the computer wont allow me to view any pop up windows, or follow any links within a site, or view pictures by clicking on links like ` read more` or follow link xyz !
What I get is a blank box on my screen with the microsoft banner across the top !
I have downloaded every type of flash programme going but this doesnt help.
I hope someone can help as Im at a loss now
Thanx
format your pc and start again and it will run like new
RE: WHATS MISSING ?? HELP PLEASE
thanks but how would i do that ?? Im a complete novice and i dont want to wipe out my computer ! what about files ive got stored i dont want to lose them ?
Re-installing Windows is a last-ditch solution that is guaranteed to work, but it needn`t be that drastic. Have a look at this page for possible solutions to the `blank window` problem:

If you are a complete novice, you might want to get someone more knowledgeable to help you with some of those suggestions, especially the bit about file associations.
"what about files ive got stored i dont want to lose them ?"
You really should get into the habit of backing up important files onto CD, so you don`t lose them. It really is worth it for the piece of mind - after all, if your hard drive crashes, you could lose everything.
