freezing when trying to X off line

[perplexed]

When I try and x off compuserve to get off line it just freezes, I can be on line and try and X out of something and it just won't let me. I went to see if there are any critical updates and I found one for, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (Windows 98, Windows Me)
451 KB/ Download Time: 1 min

but I have 5.50 so I assume it is not for me.What can I do to try and sove this.
Thanks so much!!:(

Thank you and yes I have done all you suggested, it seems fine today. I just installed Nortons 2003 version so I know I am virus free.

Thank you again!

IF I click on that it brings up a box that asks me what I want my computer to do and I don't want to shut down I just want to log off and get to my desktop, also if I click on the little computer that box prevents me from Xing out. I hope that makes sense. and thanks.

How much RAM do you have in your computer, and how many programs do you have running?

Thank you I checked under system , performance and it says 63.0 mb of ram, it is doing fine for now I ill look into your suggestion and thanks!

[weatherman]

you will need to Add some more RAM. 64 MB is too little now. 256 is best.

[perplexed]

Thank you I will try that also.

Hi Perplexed,

I'd like to see what you have running at start please. Would you download and run this program? It is called Startuplist. then copy and paste the results into a post here. They will be rather lengthy. You may have to split the results between two posts.



StartupList (http://www.spywareinfo.com/files/startuplist.zip)

And there's always the possibility of installing CS on top of itself.
