Ok...with time running out on my library stay and my stress level through the ceiling (I had just loaded my vacation pictures and they are the ONLy thing not saved on a disk and I didn't want to lose them for reasons you don't want to hear) I searched google for similar pleas for help...I discovered :
cntrl+alt+ deletetyping explorer.exe in the task manager (new task ) box might help...so i drove home hoping this would work... Well, it did, kind of my icons flickered into view and then vanished again...SO I remembered the Stopzilla update and thought..hmmm was the update corrupted??? SO I ctrl alt delte- new task and BROWSE hoping I could figure out how to end stopzilla... I ended up in my Stpozilla folder and uninstalled it....nothing then I ctrl alt delete-new task and typed explorer.exe and IT WORKED!!!!!!! SO...my reason for posting my success story is...Is Stopzilla corrupted? Can you recommend a better free pop-up blocker?? Or even a cheap one?? |
