My computer has been severely unstable the past month. Here's some of the
things it's been doing. (I reformatted two weeks ago.) Adobe Photoshop 5.5
won't start. It freezes up every time. The iTouch software for my keyboard
fails after it's been running for a few hours, then my shortcuts on my
keyboard quit working like the play/pause buttons, volume knob, etc. You
have to restart to fix it. Creative Mixer freezes up when you try to start
it. Norton Antivirus 2002 says there's an error when trying to scan for
viruses, uninstalled and put in PC Cillin 2000. It keeps updating over and
over again (the same update everytime) and when you try to go into PC
Cillin, it comes up saying that it quit responding and the error reporting
thing comes up. Quake III seems slightly jerky during game-play, but it
never used to. I had the game progress saved, and I had it beat, but when I
went to play last night, it lost that progress and only showed the progress
I made before I played it the last time. It also forgot some of the
settings that I told it. When I restarted the computer yesterday, it froze
up completely.
