The Tech Support Thread
Okeedokee . . . after just barely convincing myself not to bash my computer repeatedly with a club, I finally gave in to the tempatation of asking the 'Moot for help. And then I figured that I may as well start a thread on it where we can trade computer problems and advice. Because knowing me I will need some *cough*majorlytechnicallyimapired*cough*.
So to begin, I'm wondering why my computer won't automatically forward me places. Now, on the Moot this is fine, because it provides a link I can click, but Hotmail doesn't and I can't check my email because of it, and that's not fine. Should I just beat it over the monitor instead and use the school computers, or can I fix the dumb thing?

It sounds like someone has cleared the history cache. If I can't find something, I usually search for it on google.

*Slaps computer on the side of the monitor.* Wake up, you dumb machine!! Can you hear me!?!?! Unfreeze, I say!! Are you listening to me!?!?!? *Gives it some more slaps.*
Any help for a computer that freezes every ten minutes for no apparent reason?

That happens to me alot too. I usually just turn it off improperly (with the little button - they say it messes up your memory but I've never had any problems with that). Then I just let it sit there for a few minutes and then turn it back on. Also it helps if you don't try to run alot of programs at one time.
