I've had no end of problems with my new computer! Fom the day I had it it kept crashing constantly & then eventually settled down to just crashing once within the first 5 to 10 minutes of turning it on. It's been back twice but is still doing the same so it'll have to go back again. At least I've got a back up now as my nephew fixed my old machine but that seems to have picked up a virus or something as it is incredibly slow thanks to iexplore.exe opening anything up to six versions and hogging about 99% of the processor power! Still trying to sort that out but should, at least, be able to get on while the new one back at the manufacturers.

It also seems to interfere with my internet access as I often have to click on a link a few times for it to connect.

I use Firefox but I also tried IE in case that was the problem - no joy.

That is the "new" one that's causing all the problems as I haven't sent it back yet!
