Hi there and greetings programs!!
So my computer, on startup, would take a long time to load, then get stuck on the "firewall if off" page, then finally connect to the internet. So I booted it on Selective Startup and the problem is gone! But I don't know what the problem is and don't want to leave it in selective mode. I tried the startup tab in the system config and unchecked what I didn't need but then it went back to selective startup, not normal startup. Any ideas?
This happened somewhere between installing "bittornado" and "Gimp" drawing program, if that helps.
Three computers, the 2 that had those programs do this, the one that doesn't works great...well as great as a 2002-2004 Pentium M will work!!
Also tried system restore but the last restore point is today!
Why is that?
Thanks!!!! 😀
Also if this topic is already here, let me know so I can go there!
