Hi All,
My computer runs W.98SE, at600mh with 126mb of ram using a DSL line. For the past 7 days my computer has made me sign into every site I visit.This sign-in proceedure only occured when I deleted all my tempory files via internet options which I have not done in several weeks. To my knowledgeI have not changed any of my internet option, options. On several occasions I have heard my computer chatter for 10 to 15 minutes while doing something else. I now find my home page changes every time I start and restart my computer. Has someone entered my computer to cause these problem? How can I correct these annoying problems so I don't have to sign-in to every site new I visit and have my home page remain constant? thanks so much for the help? bob k
