I feel like such a noob posting here..
I have a few problems I have been neglecting.
In order of priority:
#1
Since yesterday every few seconds, or ever few minutes, my Outlook Express pops up and likes to fill my screen. I do not use it for email. It usually happens when I'm typing. . I don't think it's linked to any of my buttons, not even my Mail button.
I have tried adaware, spybot, deleting things in my task manager, and AVG and I can't seem to get rid of it.
#2
I think either my graphics card hates me, or my computer is overheating. Whenever I am playing something graphics heavy (World of Warcraft) sometimes my screen goes blank and then I get that nice colorful lined screen. I either have to wait for my computer to restart, which it will after a few minutes, or restart it myself. I may get a new fan for this problem to see if it helps.
#3
My firefox likes to crash often. I have tried what the firefox suggests for this, (turning my firewall off, making sure plugins are UTD). Firefox is also up to date.
Windows XP professional, V 2002. Service pack 2
AMD Athalon 64 processor 3500+
2.21 GHz
512MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 (2005, spiked face mask)
I am on instant messenger right now if anyone can help
