Memory drain and inability to open Internet Explorer
I recently started to receive error messages about my memory usage being high. I have looked at the processes on the task manager and the worst programs that seem to use the most memory appear to be iexplore.exe. I always sort the processes according to how much memory usage is being used and iexplore is always at the top and there are usually about five or six instances even if I'm only using one window. Also when I look at my main drive on my computer (C:) in the explore window it appears to be almost completely full as if my computer is loaded with all kinds of stuff. I've transferred so many files and folders to my external hard drive, flash drives, and anything else I can think of but I'm still having the problem. The other day I was using the computer and everything was working ok but suddenly I lost connection to the Internet and my network disappeared completely. There wasn't even anything to try to work with in the Network and Sharing Center. So I have no access to the Internet. I had signed up with a tech support company but everything has to be done over the phone. If I have internet connection they can take over my computer remotely to fix it. But this time I have no internet connection so I had to spend at least three hours on the phone with them and it really wore me out. also I'm not sure what they did but my computer will only open windows 7 in Safe Mode. Does anyone know how to stop that? I would much rather not have to deal with it that way.
GREAT NEWS!! I restored my registry to an earlier time and my network reappeared. Unfortunately I still can't open Internet Explorer. If anyone has any idea why that might be I would appreciate some help. But I wonder if my inability to connect to the internet has anything to do with the memory problems. Because of the memory problems I haven't been able to download even one pdf page from the internet. Its cause all kinds of other problems too. Help!!! What do I do about this memory drain. I don't have problems with svchost.exe or some of the other programs or system files that other people have had. I also have problems with the DHCP client and the DNS client. They don't start. When I try to start them I get a 1068 error message that says dependency service or group failed to start. However when I check those services they have started and are processing. I'm afraid I have totally ruined my computer. I REALLY NEED HELP!! I am not very tech savvy so any help needs to be in plain English. Any help would be appreciated beyond measure. Someone PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!ri
