Hi,
I have Windows XP Home Edition running Service Pack 2. I have a Dell
Dimension Desktop 8300, that I bought less than a year ago. It has 1 GB of
RAM and a 3.2 Ghz, Pentium 4 with HT Technology. I use Mcafee firewall plus
and Mcafee virus protection. I also immunize spyware using Spyware Blaster
and Spybot. I'll also scan for viruses using Spybouncer and Adaware. Also
my pop up settings on Internet Explorer are set to medium.
When I create a desktop Icon as a shortcut to view a particular internet
page on Internet Explorer, it takes several tries to launch it and sometimes
I can't launch it at all. It doesn't matter what web page the short cut is
set up for. Originally I thought the double-click settings for my mouse were
set too fast, but they weren't; however, I set it at a slower speed anyway,
but this didn't work. I am able to launch all other icons on my desktop
(including Internet Explorer) with ease, but I have trouble launching the
short cuts to view certain internet pages. Sometimes it works, sometimes it
takes several tries, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. I have no other
processes running at the time.
Please advise. I hope there's a simple solution to this.
Thanks,
Ed
