For some reason, tonight Safari won't load any images. I'm using the slow and crappy IE that my Mac has because it still loads them.

I talked to a friend about this, and he said it has something to do with my dial up Internet connection being bad. He said he doesn't know how to fix the problem on a Mac, and the guy I usually go to when I have computer problems is away for the holidays.

Does anyone know what's wrong and what I can do to fix it?

Have you tried re-installing Safari? That might help. If not, the only thing I can think of is to download Firefox. Sorry I'm not much help.

What exactly is wrong? Does it load slowly? Or just not load at all?

I have trojans installed in my computer that make it keep trying to open up Internet Explorer when I'm not online and makes my homepages one of those fake "search engines." I wish I knew how to get rid of 'em...

I'd download HijackThis and post your problem somewhere like here. Those people always know what to do.

I need some help with my firewall. It's preventing my DS from playing online. I need to figure out how to allow my DS to get through my firewall without making my compter open to viruses and trojans.
I use Norton Internet Security and really need some help.

Just turn off your firewall so it can connect, then when you're done put it on again and do a virus scan.

I'd rather not do that, partly because virus scans on thins computer take forever, and partly because I'm lazy :p

But If I have no other choice I may have to do that...

I have a computer problem of my own. (if I can deviate from the duiscussion, slightly) Does anyone know how I can get my iPod fixed? I droped it and a wire got disconnected, and it just needs to be re-sodered. Apple won't fix it, and I have no idea where to go or what to do. Any suggestions?

Well You can just do it Your self, those soder kits dont cost much, they cost like 20$ at radio shack.
Heres the deal, I have no idea how to extract sounds and music from YTMNDs, can someone help Me?

Yes, but sodering is super hard. And it isn't something that can be explained well on the back of the box.

That's the easiest thing to do ever.

Right-click on a YTMND page and click "View Source". Go way down until you see something like this (near the very bottom of the page):



<EMBED SRC="http://content.ytmnd.com/content/e/f/ef8b77fe0f2e32579ea7e297cb66fefb.mp3" autostart="true" hidden="true" volume="100" loop="true" type="audio/mpeg">

See that thing with the .mp3 at the end? Highlight that and paste it into the browser. Done and done!

As you've probably heard me rant about many times, my speakers don't work. Any suggestions?
