They'd have to be free, for me, you see. (nice rhymes) We're poor, poor, poor. And it's always better to give the old freebie computer tech saturday saviour a go before I get all drastic like that. Besides, I hate talking on the phone. I'm afraid of it.  |

I text a fair bit...or I use to. Now I just talk on messenger. Except I don't anymore  I more hate talking on the phone because our phone is in the living room and everyone stares at me and listens. Since no one phones me on my mobile. Dear lord! I lost the saybox! None of the tagboards on any of the sites I go to were showing up! It was my stupid Firewall thing that I finally got around to installing (after my computer cocked up) luckily I fiddled with some settings and they're back. If only Word and Messenger were such easy fixes. |

Well, whenever I try and get them to install again or whatever they always say some file is missing or has been moved.
It's annoying.

Yeah, and then I do a search for it on the computer and it's all "Don't ask me, fool. I don't know where it is" but in more of a Microsoft way.

restarting couldn't solve this evil, evil problem. I don't blame it. I clearly type too much. It's possible it's disrupted other things too, but I just haven't noticed since I don't use a lot of the programs on my computer. I'll go to use something in a few weeks time and be like "What the...! It doesn't work!" |

I know that to stop it being so slow I need to get rid of some of the processes running the background and at start up.
Problem is, when I simply disable all of them I can't get onto the internet. So I need to know which ones directly are connecting to making the internet work so I can just keep those in the background and nothing else. I mean, I have like 60 something processes! And I've heard around 20 is normal.
If I only had a brain.
