Help me not hate my computer
I'm not exactly an advanced user, just to get that out in the open. I've been going through this site trying to find someone having the same problem as I am-with no luck.
So first the background.
I got my new laptop a little over a month ago and my problem has been exactly the same since I got it. Windows 7 works fine as it is, where I am having problems is with the networking of it. I can connect and surf around relativly fine. I have problems whenever i want to watch a video, download, or do something where I'm logged into the site.
I'm assuming that they are all related to the same thing that is wrong but I'll describe all of the issues separatly to hopefully help diagnose the situation
If I go to youtube and watch a video, it will load about a quarter of the video and NEVER load any more....unless, I click beyond where it has loaded on the scroll bar. Doesn't matter what site it is and it's all video types.
Number 2, this one is a little more hit and miss because it sometimes (rarely) will work properly. When I'm on a site with a log in, my hotmail for instance. It will open the e-mails fine, if I want to delete an e-mail though, it will put this loading in the bottom left corner...indefinitly. But, if I click on delete again. Poof it's instantly deleted, just like every other computer I've ever used hotmail on. I've never had a problem until this computer. The same thing happens if I want to move an e-mail to a folder or whatever. Hotmail is pretty much always like that... the part where it's hit or miss is on a forum site where I'll click on a link it doesn't load, I hit back, and then hit that same link and instantly it will load---or not, and I just hit back again and hit the link and then maybe it will load this time.
Number 3. This one has been everytime I've tried, ever since I have gotten this computer. So far to date, the only things I've been able to download on this wonderful computer is updates. If I want to download a program I've had to download it on either of my other computers, save it to a flash drive and put it onto my computer and install it.
I hope that I've given enough information for you to help me. Like I said, these problems have been since day 1 and I'm tired of it.
I don't know what other info to give you but this
