Huh?

Probably OK if the automatic ones have been done and you got the all clear. Try restarting the computer and seeing if that speeds it up!

my oh has just defraged, scanned and did a clean up? Dont know what they all mean but they started making it work faster straight away...sure you know what they are...im just happy to be on the pc..hee hee!!

Probably meant you had something lurking on your PC that shouldn't have been there and now it's been removed, so all good!

a defrag is like sorting and categorising all the crap you got on the pc, hehe.

Think of it this way.
You have a bookcasing almost filled with books. You start out with all the books being in alphabetical order. Then you take one out here and there, but you don't put it back where you took it.. you just shove it in somewhere that's roomie enough for it. As time goes by, you keep taking out books and shoving them back wherever they fit. But you take longer and longer to find the books you're looking for, cause you have to look through so many titles out of order before you find what you need.
Finally you get sick of it, and you pull out a great deal of them, and start to alphabetise them once again - and after that, you find what you're looking for in a heartbeat.
And then it all starts over again ;-)

But that's sorta like what happens on your computer. When you use data, it gets shoved in somewhere, and when you need it again, the computer takes longer and longer to find it, cause the data is spread all over the place. A defrag is tidying up the 'bookcase', so it's nice and easy to find stuff again.

Thanks Lina, i totally get that now. Im not totally 'doh on pc's but not a whizxz either. It sisnt pick up anything in my scan etc and the defrag seemed to just clean it up in order, like you explained.
I have been having trouble with my windows defender though...it doesnt stay on all the time even though we set it to. Its like it turns off when you turn the laptop off.

IT'S JUST BLOODY DONE IT AGAIN!!!

I've had that happen a couple of times to me... then they all came back again....

nope, mine are gone - so no idea what posts are new without looking at the time the last person posted

Apart from new posts since it happened, like this one

all my red ones have gone just this second!!!

Are you using cavybreeder.com and NOT the old cavybreeders.forumotion.com address?

What browsers do you both use? Now I know it's happened to both of you I know it's not your computer Roline. So need to look into it.

Do you both use opera?

ooh no, I seem to have cavybreeders.forumnation.com - how strange, no idea why that has changed (it is on my favourites)

the old one will still work - but that MIGHT be why. Try using www.cavybreeder.com from now on

am doing - will report if it happens again
