OK, this problem started yesterday and I just don't get it. Why, all of a sudden, can I not open up the gmail page? It's trying to open, but it's like it keeps cycling around almost opening and then getting stuck and trying to open again and again and I just have to close it out to make it stop. Am I describing this so it makes any sense? It's driving me nuts and we can't check our gmail.

You need to go into itunes store, and "authorize" that computer. Itunes allows you to authorize up to 5 computer. I think you can back all those songs up on CD and copy them into the Itunes library on the powerbook.

Emmy, I don't think gmail is down. I was there this morning. Try clearing your cache (empty your temporary internet files).

Thanks, Juju. I think I tried that. I'll try it again. I've been trying different security settings, too. I think it might have something to do with that.

Emmy, if you've been playing with your security settings, you may need to go back to default everything in that area and see if that fixes your problem. Then do your changes one at a time and make sure they don't interfere with what you need to do.

I didn't mean to change any security settings. I only started fooling with them when I could no longer open up the g-mail sign in page. I have a reasonably new dell notebook. The windows security thingy kept coming up when I powered up telling me I MAY be out of date, but my trend micro-thingy program is indeed up-to-date, so I told windows to just back off and quit monitoring it, since it will monitor and update itself. That's the only thing I changed before this problem occurred. But since then I've been fiddlin' with my IE 7 security settings.

OK. I went into IE7 and told it to reset everything and it did. I even lost my homepage and other settings. This time I declined the anti-phishing filter, thinking that was what it was getting stuck on, but Noooo... after all those resets and restarts, I still can't open up that gmail signin page. In the meantime, my Dad, who's having trouble with a Norton update on his computer, tried to use my laptop to research his problem but it wouldn't let him open up the comcast page in the same way. It starts to load, then it says done, but then it starts to load again, and it just cycles around and around in this vicious circle. It's vicious and frustrating, and I'll have to start offering gifts now to anyone who might help me... please?

Hiya Chiliwilli. G-mail is e-mail through google.

Emmy, try googling your problem, if you haven't already. I am a firm believer that we are all bozos on this bus, and if you are having the problem, somebody else is too, and they have already asked the question. And somebody smarter than us has already answered it. Hopefully correctly.

Lt, I haven't added anything new. The cake smells good but it has to cool. Hasn't anyone else ever had a problem with a page loading for no good reason?

I found someone with the same problem who posted on Google Groups just today. No one has responded with the fix yet. I've never done system restore. Is it scary?

No. System restore is not scary. It is easy to use, although it might take twenty minutes or so. You just pick a restore point and tell it to restore. You want to pick a point that was prior to the beginning of your problem.

I need some advice. I have a new HP Pavillon and have been annoyed with the fact that it is slow to start up and has a few other issues. I am wondering if I have a virus or something. It came with a firewall and I have norton anti virus; I am thinking I need other software to search for problems. What are good protection softwares? Is Adware a protection software, someone mentioned that one to me? What do you think?

Had the lemon cake with coffee this morning. Should I send some over, Chili? I was thinking how I hadn't yet installed Adaware in this laptop, and I'm going to go to the top of this thread and try that and start all over again today. Dipo, }you should go ahead and install it and run it regularly. I've never had problems with it I've been told by many sources it's a good thing.

Thanks emmy, I got the adaward software, so we will see how that goes. But even when I was installing it the system froze a couple of time and I couldn't tell if it loaded. Finally had to restart my computer, and yes, it was there. Anyone have any idea why I keep getting the error for IE? R6025 pure virtual functional call then it shuts down any IE windows I have open.
