Hi,
First off let me tell you, I have no clue about computers so please bear with me!
My problems are crashes and freezing. Sometimes when I start my computer it says Explorer has a error and must close. Why? I don't know. Sometimes msn also does this. ok more times then not! If I try to download anything I get a blue screen error message and not the same one everytime. Nothing ever downloads completely. I also get the green line across the top of my screen when it freezes. I know I have forgotten some other problems that I have but maybe this is a good enough start?
Thank you for any help you can give me!!!

Hi cokegirl

Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log as a new topic in the Hijack This forum. It will get a better response there from the people most qualified to analyze logs.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide. Also see this post.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

-> Click Start and on the next screen choose Activate in-depth Scan at the bottom of the page and then choose:
  • Use Custom Scanning Options
-> Click Next and Ad-aware will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected.

-> Save the log file when it asks and then click Finish

-> When finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose Select All from the drop down menu and click Next).
