I got a wee bit of a problem here guys. I thought it was just a hub issue, but it's not. I can't open any programs on my computer. Well nothing from my desktop at least. It says I do not have the proper permission to do so.

I am. It all appears to be working now, so I dunno what happened to it.

That's true though. Why just a few minutes ago, everything was fine. Then when I logged off, my computer restarted on it's own, and said it suffered a major error, then when I got on msn my display picture was differnt, and it was a picture I had removed before.

I think I have all the installer files for them still. I'll figure out a way to get them to you. If your pc is getting warm to the touch, that is bad. Keep it in a cool place. You might also look into getting some internal fans for it to help keep the processor cooled.

Well, how warm is it getting? All computers warm up somewhat, that's normal.

Well it was really warm to the touch and that got me worried. So I moved it to the top of my desk where it can pull in cooler air more easily.


Another thing, I need a photo ediiting program, any recommendations?
