Hi all, one of my kids used my work computor the other night for her school homework, and managed to change some settings, I don't know if its on the computor or on the settings for our web brouser, but I can't view IFI any more. I get the page start to load up but only get the row of buttons across the top ie ifi, forums, gallery, etc, and then nothing else but a blank page.
Can someone help me!!!
I am going through withdrwl symptoms from not being able to get IFI.
thank the lord that I can still get NWBA to come up.

Help!!!!

Phil

I'm sure you've probably tried this but the first steps should always be to clear your cookies and then reboot your computer.

[Image Can Not Be Found]Find out if they uploaded any new programs, sometimes they can really mess things up. If so try disabling them and if things get better then delete......Sorry for the cartoon....I feel your pain

Hang in there Phil! We're putting together a rescue party. Just having trouble finding a plane big enough to carry all the beer. I guess we could just have the party here. Yeah! Here's to you Phil!

Cookies?

There was a recent site update on IFI too, so it might not be the kid's fault. First time I loaded it up I spent about five minutes looking at it until I figured out where to click.

This is India.
It's where you call when you have problems with your computer.

Thanks Guys
Still battling on, I am making headway though. found a couple of dodgy programs, comps of my kids just clicking on anything and everything or just clicking on some things that they did'nt want to click on anyway but did just to see what they were, "cause 'Ebony Jade' who sits 2 rows back from me at school, her sister said it was a really cool program".
Thankyou so much my little darling.

I got the call from the computer center the other day 253-802-0308, The lady said that my computer was sending them error messages and she could to a remote repair. Those computer companies always wanting to fix you computer for free, is so nice. Meanwhile I'm double checking their phone number in google. I can't believe the phone/computer scams out there.

I got a similar call too Daryl. While I was on the phone with this guy who was telling me that I was uploading viruses onto their server, my wife was on the phone with Sasktel who told us that that was not possible and it was a scam. So I politely told the guy on the phone to go f*ck his hat. He laughed and hung up.

I knew it was a scam, I usually ask them politely if I could be served in Gaelic as English is not my mother tongue. I'll hang up first if I ever get one that does:giggle:

Hey dere;

I didn't read what OS you have, but in xp for one you can use the system restore function to set it back like it was.

Hope this helps.
