Internet Explorer kicks Bob out. Bad Bob? No. Bad computer! Here are some things to try, one set of instructions at a time.

1. Right click on the Start button, left click on Explore from the menu.
2. Open the Local Settings folder in the left pane.
3. Under the Local Settings folder, open the Temp folder and delete anything the system will allow you to inside.
4. Open the Temporary Internet Files folder and delete everything it will let you delete in there. Close the current window.
5. If you do not see the above folders, you may have an older version of Internet Explorer. How old is the computer? How much RAM do you have? What version of Internet Explorer do you have? To check, click Help in the top menu and then click About Internet Explorer.
6. If you have enough RAM or can acquire more, upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, version 7.

1. Go to Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup.
2. Check all the boxes and click OK.

1. In Internet Explorer, open Tools>Internet Options.
2. Under the General tab, under Browsing history select the Delete button.
3. Delete Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and History.
4. Close those windows.

1. You can run ScanDisk under Windows XP.
2. Open MyComputer, right click on the C Drive, left click on Properties.
3. Click on the Tools tab.
4. Under Error Checking, click Check Now.
5. Check both boxes in the new (smaller) window and click the Start button.
6. In the next window, click Yes.
7. Restart the computer and let it do its thing (perhaps for an hour or more) until it comes all the way up again.

1. You may want to acquire the following free files and programs to help clean up your system: the latest patches from Microsoft, a Hosts file for blocking known bad sites, SpywareBlaster, ZoneAlarm, AVG Anti-Virus, HD Valet, RegCleaner. You may need an elite computer guru to run these for you.

2. If you are running Spybot S&D or AdAware, buy SpySweeper instead and run that.

   3.  If none of these things work, comment here with as much information about the problem and your system and software as you can provide.
