Computer Challenged

[barbchan]

I think I've really messed something up and I don't know how to fix it. I recieved my consultant number yesterday so I went to consultants corner on the PC website to look around. However, my computer wouldn't allow me to open any of the files such as host specials and such without Adobe. So, I installed Adobe...thinking I was just getting the basic Adobe...now I have this completely usless to me toolbar at the top of my screen and I have Adobe Photoshop and goodness knows what else! I could deal with that. However, I tried today to listen to the audio's of teleclasses but of course had to install that ilink7.7 thing. I did. And now, not only am I not able to listen to the audio's, I can't get into any of the files again! I can't even log into my bank account online! I can't do anything! I'm suprised I am able to still come here!

Anyone have any idea what I might have done wrong so maybe I can fix it before dh gets home? He's the computer genius of the family and he's usually not too happy when he has to help me fix something....and I rarely do anything wrong on the computer. Help?

maybe try and do a restore point on your computer to a couple of days ago before you loaded all that stuff on there. Go to programs, accessories, and system restore. This is just a suggestion, I by no means am a computer expert. Just been there done that.

Delete that edition of Adobe from your hard drive first of all...go to Start, Settings, Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs...find Adobe and Remove. See if that helps.

Forever grateful!

Thank you both so much! I had no idea I could remove things from the hard drive like that.
Things seem to be running much better now. I will ask dh to install what I need to view the host specials and all.

Thanks again!

When you d/l Adobe, it automatically installs the toolbar and photoshop UNLESS you check in a little box that you do not want those items installed. When you go into the control panel, just remove those items. You do not have to uninstall adobe. Good Luck!

Linc Player

to get the linc player to work go to the class you want to listen to , then download it. Your class should automatically start playing. You have to redownload every class.

do a system restore or just delete the software. Sounds like you may have downloaded a virus instead of Adobe. did you go to the Adobe site?

Do you have spyware and virus software? Sounds like you need to do a scan of both also.
