::*The Answer, so simple!* ::
HELLO, 07-03-08 12:46 A.M. (CST)
HERE IS THE SOLUTION! I SENT THIS REPLY TO THE POST BY CENGELEN, AND I
AM GOING TO SEND IT TO MANY OF THE PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM;
BECAUSE IT GAVE ME FITS UNTIL I FOUND THE SIMPLE FIX. IN MY CASE,
WINDOWS HAD AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLED AN UPDATE TO SHOCKWAVE FLASH PLAYER
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I WENT TO THE WINDOWS \"RESTORE POINT\", AND IT
RESTORED ME TO PRIOR TO THE UPDATE, AND I WAS BACK TO NORMAL. SO IT WAS
THE NEW UPDATE THAT CAUSED MY PROBLEM. HOPE THIS HELPS
EVERYONE!
*QUOTED from my Reply to Cengelen:
My name is Venita. This happened to me tonight for the first time. I
have a relatively new computer which came installed with Windows Vista
Home. After spending a couple hours reading the forums and trying
things, but mostly just not believing all these complicated procedures
were necessary; it dawned on me about the Windows Restore Point, which
was a new feature with XP and naturally is on Vista.
Then viola! As I saw one person say on a very complicated procedure,
which I did not believe. Here is how simple it was for me! Just go to
Start Menu or wherever you go to find Windows Help and Support. For me,
I just click on Start, there I see among all the other items, a link for
"Help and Support". From there, click on the link for "Security and
Maintenance". Inside there, you should see a link, (mine is on the
right-hand side), for "Backup and Restore". Underneath Backup and
Restore, you will click the link to "Backup Files". Then finally when
you do this, you should see an option for "System Restore". This will
allow you to restore your system to an earlier point (before the problem
started).
In my case, there had been an update installed for one of those Shock
Wave or Flash or something like that. System Restore just restored my
computer to the time prior to the new update for that program, and I
went right back to normal.
I think many of us, I know I do, forget how easy things can be with
"System Restore", and so we spend all this time trying to fix our system
by taking the advice of persons who really don't care about what is best
for us. In the end, they probably want to mess us up, so we will have
to buy something else.
But this fix is SO easy! If you do not know how to find System Restore
on your computer, just type in System Restore in your search bar. I am
confident there will be a link somewhere to get you there. And this is
as easy as it gets... you won't have to do anything. Windows will
simply restore your computer to the point before your problem started.
One last note: I had set up other User Accounts, so I was able to sign
on and go to the internet or my Start Menu. I didn't notice if you have
another account you can sign into or not. I surely hope you do. I was
so thankful that I did. If I had not been able to correct this problem,
I was going to lose all my business files and that would have been a
catastrophy for me. It happened to me about a year ago. but for a
different reason. I am not a computer technology whiz and have taught
myself everything I know; but if I can help you, you may write to me at
gladvn@xxxxxx
Hope it helps!*
