Hi Barry, that's what they did, what I told Dale. Took my computer in and they
ran all kinds of diagnostic tests and found nothing. It seemed to only happen
when the computer acted like it was freezing up. Maybe not freeze up, but using
AOL, I don't know, it seems AOL is all the time downloading something and it
slows down my computer, keeps it busy which I HATE!!! But around these parts,
not a lot of choices who to have for your internet provider. Same thing with my
laptop. It downloads stuff so often, it really slows it down to a point I think
it's frozen up.
But anyway, they found nothing on my desktop that should have been causing those
pop-up blank pages one after another. I've not had it happen in a good while
now.
Hugs,
