Hello, I am hoping you can help me. I am not really computer smart, so simple explanations/terms are much appreciated.
I have a 5 year old Compaq laptop. I am running Windows XP Pro. I believe it has Internet Explorer 6. I tried to upgrade to 7 but it said I couldn't unless I had SP 2. I have a DSL connection.
When I first get on-line IE will work fine, but after a short while it will stop loading graphics or parts of a page. Down at the bottom it might say "x items remaining" but the number never changes, and the rest of the stuff never loads. I visit some internet forums that have a lot of pics in them; I know it's a lot of stuff and maybe it's too much for my computer??? But it's not just those pages that give me problems. I have a lycos email account and a lot of times I can't see the buttons (delete, reply, etc.) I log into my on-line banking and I can't see some of those buttons.
My computer is pretty bare bones - all it has on it is the operating system and Norton Antivirus. That's it. In fact I just had to reload the whole system because I was attacked by some horrible virus/worm. I was hoping once I reloaded it the IE problem would go away, but it's still here. It was here before the virus and it's still here now.
I know my computer's kind of old but I'm hoping there is a solution?
Thanks in advance!
