I'm trying to get this computer to function better. It has been doing all kinds of things - like yesterday the desktop changed to 16 colors and I can't get it to change back. The windows and browser look fine - but all the pictures are grainy and washed out.
I've also been getting dll errors.
And the start up list is VERY long - but I am not sure what to uncheck and what to leave checked.
We cleaned up the computer as best as we could using the Hijack forum.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
