The latest version. I figured out what my problem was--I had to open a private browsing session (since that was the only way I could click on anything). Then I had to reset my browser settings back to default. After that it seems to be working fine.

I keep getting a pop-up box that is titled message from webpage that says [Object Error]. When I click Ok or {x} it comes right back and I can not click on anything in the web browser because of it. I need to use it for school, since there is a program that requires IE over Chrome etc. I have...

Thanks for the help fellas. I opened the computer up and checked the wiring, It all looked normal, but I unplugged it from the motherboard and dusted the port and plugged it back. The computer seems to be working fine now when I plug anything into the USB.

Recently, I plugged my flash drive in my front USB port of my computer, and then my screen went black, as if my computer had turned off, but the monitor was still on. However, my computer was still up and running. I thought it was strange, so I unplugged my USB and tried it on another...

So what is the point in buying a PC and then upgrading it to the point that it has a different MOBO, CPU and case? Why not just build an entirely new one at this point?

My goal is to start up a hobby of repairing computers and building PCs for clients and then move it into a small business with eventual hopes of becoming a computer consulting company for other small businesses around the city.

Does anyone know how in demand a local computer repair business is compared to a simple custom build business?

Well, I have two friends who have decided to tag along in this venture and we are branching off into computer repairs as well. Is there still no market for computer repairs? I wasn't trying to sell individual parts, but rather, I want to build computers for people. I do understand most...

Haha, that's ridiculous and I don't think a small business like this starting out will pay the college bills. So I agree, he probably just wanted an excuse to build that.

That is very true! I figured it wouldn't be illegal, but I figured it was worth checking. Thanks.

I know a few of you on the forum are running this type of business. How would you recommend starting one? Is there decent money in it long term? What would you recommend expanding into?

Thanks for the replies! I'm not sure I just want to sell individual pieces of hardware or software and become a large distributor like Newegg. I am more interested in building custom PCs and eventually expanding into a small IT business where I will repair computers for clients. What kind of...

Small Business Idea (Computer Repair) I want to build computers and sell them to customers (Each order made to fit each customer's exact needs). Goals: Build a reliable computer cheaper than that of a computer of equivalent value sold by big-time manufacturers (Dell, HP etc.) Make a small...

Thanks for the help guys; I finally got my internet back on campus. I followed through as if I had reinstalled my OS as it demands and it worked. I think turning off my PC while it was updating caused the network to think my laptop was compromised. However, I definitely don't have a virus...

I see, well I didn't even have time to try to do anything beyond running malwarebytes over the weekend. It was full of homework and moving. I'll look more into it tonight and see what I can figure out. I'll post back here if I have further questions.

Okay so it reformats the HDD for me, thanks!

Surprise! Malwarebytes detected 0 viruses... and IUSecure still will not let me access the internet. So, if I am to do an OS reinstall what disc should I use? The only disc that came with my laptop is a Dell diagnostics and driver/utilities disc. I have a windows 7 full and a windows 7 upgrade...

I completely agree and this is what I will do tonight, but I have a feeling IUSecure won't let me connect to the internet on the campus until I do as they command. Hopefully I am wrong.

Thank you, I am greatly appreciating the help. I agree its ludicrous, and if they fix it they will charge $75 and take three days... I will take it home tomorrow and run Malwarebytes.

Also, which disc would I use to reinstall my W7? And what exactly did it mean by telling me to reformat my HDD?
