Both yesterday and today I've been having problems actually using the 'net.
I've been able to log on but everything runs extremely slowly. I ran my McAfee and it found nothing.
I restart and log on -- still slow and do it again and then eventually, I get a working connection.
What should I be looking at? Or is this just what I should expect? (Even though it hasn't been like this before.0

Now tagless for your comfort.
Does it (or something similar) show up under the Startup tab when you run msconfig?
That's how the HP people told me how to fix it when I got online assistance. It only worked temporarily, though. This fix seems to have worked for good.
The only question remains is why HP would bundle this piece of shit software on their computers in the first place.

I have an opinion. Mostly to do with the quality of HP overall. This doesn't really surprise me.

sumi, are there a lot of things that are loading, like in the bottom right-hand corner of your taskbar, when you start the computer? It could simply be a lot of processes running continuously from startup to shutdown.

But why was it working before?
But I will take a look at what's in the start up and take out a few things.

Can anyone recommend simple, web-based software for scheduling resources, like group study rooms in a library? Open-source would be great, but they might be willing to pay to purchase something if it was a good fit. Alternately, is this something that would be easy for a decent coder to write for us?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There's ORS [link] with the disclaimer that I know nothing about it beyond the fact that it's on the first page of google results.
Also, this sounds familiar somehow....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Just got quite the pang of nostalgia.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Now, if they could make some of the toasters to look like #6...
