computer won't open programs or documents
« on: December 25, 2006, 03:12:51 PM »
I bought an Ipod off of ebay and after plugging it into my computer, now I can't open documents or programs.  It takes 10 minutes or so to boot up and then it wont let me open anything.  Has anyone heard of this?  I am guessing the iPod was infected?

Thanks for any help that you can offer.

The iPod is not infected, you do not have to worry about that (unless you ran a program off the iPod which in tern was infected which is highly unlikely if you are using for nothing but music or videos).
Try updating to the latest drivers, maybe that may help.
Computers are the future, not us. Learn everything you can about them while you still can, soon they will be learning about us... Every bit of advice that I give you is best guess, it is your choice whether or not you listen to it.

Amd oh by the way, what ARE you using for virus/spyware protection? Have you updated and run your scans in safe mode lately?
