Google problem.

XP SP2
On our second computer, wireless conn,
we can click favourites
Google
opens fast
when we put in a search string eg: einstein
the search begins but will not complete

Any fixes for Google?

Thanks.

Belay the request, I have found the Google newsgroup,
I'll post there.

When was the last time you cleaned out your temp files, web history, etc.?

If you don't have it already, get Crap Cleaner at http://www.ccleaner.com/

Probably never
problem solvered, he had somehow turned on "work offline"
prior to that, I ran spybot (250 problems) and adaware
Things look reasonable now.
Thanks for responding, I had read advice elsewhere crapcleaner was suspect.

You should do it regularly.

Crap Cleaner is great. I've been using it now for over two years. It
finds temp files that XP never finds. It will also not nuke cookies that
you don't want nuked for log on purposes, etc. I would refrain from
using the Issues feature unless you're having a problem with the
registry, however.

Well I do,
its the "he who never makes his bed 13yo" at fault here.
He wants to do afresh install now of XP
and install my XP gadgets bar.

It's probably good for him to learn the hard way, I told him
about risks with P2P and now he is at the receiving end.
I'll suggest he load crap cleaner, I cannot see much harm
when taken in context what he shall probably receive anyhows.
Cheers

If he's into P2P, get him to install Ubuntu which is bulletproof
compared to XP in regards to viruses and malware. All he needs is a
router with a hard firewall. Check it out at www.ubuntu.com and I would
wait for the new version coming out in a few days.

It's free and comes with access to over 23,000 free programs including
aMule (Ubuntu version of eMule), bit torrent and all the other things
your kid would love.
