It works fine for awhile then all of a sudden it goes crazy. Like tonight it kept
saying everything was causing errors and needed to close down. I wouldn't no sooner
get one closed down and then another one would pop up. If I used a different browser
would I still be able to use Outlook Express mail? Has anyone used Firefox? I almost
downloaded that one night when I was having problems. I am on dialup and it does
take forever for anything to download. I'm still in the Dinosaur age. lol...Should
see about cable some day I guess. I just don't have the patience to mess with computers.
I only use it to play on and when it interrupts my play time it's no fun. lol......But
I do appreciate everyone trying to help me. Thanks alot
