Been there, done that, still sometimes doing it. You've got to have willpower to resist. I know its hard, but you have to do it! Don't let the computer control you! Try to set a time to log on, like noon. Before that, do all you have to do, clean, laundry, etc. Then have some lunch. Make sure you have accomplished something before logging on so you won't feel so bad later. Take breaks in between, like before you check out another site go to the bathroom and on the way back, pick up a few things and put them back where they belong. \n\nWhen you feel that urge to look up something, write it down first! Make a list(maybe 5 items) before you really have to look them up. And log off when you feel there isn't anything else to do. You really need to get your rest! \n\nGood luck!

when your computer have all the things that you need to download. if you got all the they are asking you to have then girl ditch that computer and get your self a new computer that works. if you already have a new computer than it must have been used before you bought that peice of nothing.

It sounds like your hard drive is gonna go into nuclear meltdown! This isnt unusual since 98 percent of home PC users dont have a clue about how their PC works and its capabilities not to mention their insane desire to download "FREE" stuff that is infected to the hilt with malware! When it quits, dont get mad at anyone but yourself! If you are smart, after you pay to get it fixed you mite try the local community college for some basic computer classes!

Yep, I'm a full fledge addict. I'm addicted to:\nYouTube movies -  a lot of Nip/Tuck stuff\nYahoo Answers\nChecking Facebook\nLooking at random sites\nListening to music\nChecking MySpace\nChecking my email\nPlaying menial games\n\nI'll spend upwards of 3-5 hours a day on the computer/internet. I'm not sure how I got addicted, but I am working on cutting down my time on it drastically. I usually use it as a time killer when I should be studying. Gotta buckle down.

(actually, first i sign into AIM, then go to my music website, then i go to the actual internate to do things)

I've had two, and I have been a satisfied customer.\n\nWe bought the first machine, plugged it in, and used it\nas our main "family" computer for at least 3 years (maybe\nmore -- I can't quite remember).  \n\nAt some point, we realized that technology had marched on\n(newer processors were 4X faster, disks were 10X bigger,\nthe new machines have CR/RW or DVD's) *and* we were \nlooking at upgrading Windows from 98 to XP.  The easiest\nway to get all of that was to retire the old E-machine\nand just buy a new one (ie. software upgrade via box-swap).\n\nWe've had this one for a couple of years with no \nproblems.

I recommend buying all new.  Fixing that old computer means more trouble later.  If it is more than 3 years old, consider yourself lucky.  \n\nGet a Toshiba this time.  They are highly rated. \n\nLook at them at Wal-Mart or Costco.  Make sure that you LOOK before you BUY.   Also, inquire about their RETURN policy.  Stores that charge a RESTOCKING fee suck.

mine is fairly new, which probably means it's already time for an upgrade....just can't keep up!!

Do... find a 50 dollar CPU on ebay and bust it open and play with the software.  Ofcourse, there is also the library....

Go to your local library and check out some self-help computer books.  Read through them and try doing the things they talk about on your own computer.  Books like: Absolute Beginners Guide to Windows XP; Windows XP for Dummies; The Complete Idiot's Guide to Windows XP.  And lot's of other books. They are written in easy to understand language and they have lots of photos to guide you along.\n\nAnd don't forget to read the owner's manual that came with the computer.  It will tell you things about YOUR specific computer that you really need to know.  Things that will help make your future computing experiences more enjoyable.

Now a days, due to heavy use of internet, yes, it becomes addiction to check emails to almost all computer lovers, but to be part of it, rather depart, make a habit of singing song or prayer or looking to some good pictures in front of you, good scenes, have eye excercise or small round around you, your work environment and if all of this doesn't help, just keep eye close, have a deep breath and guess why you are going to check mail.\n\nI think above will help a lot, if you may follow any one.\n\nGod might keep you away to frequent checking of mails....\n\nLastly, keep a smile...\n\nThanks in advance, if I can make help you better. (Only if you hadn't seen it today !!!)

You mean replace your computer, I presume.\n\nThat's really up to you.  Obviously technology continues to advance at a rapid pace and better components continue to be made at lower prices.  In the end, it's all about whether you feel your computer serves your needs.\n\nDoes your present computer adequately run all the applications you use?  Can it easily multi-task?  Does its graphics capability match your needs?\n\nIf you're considering an OS upgrade (maybe the soon-to-arrive Windows Vista), that alone may provide the reason to shop for "newer-faster-better".
