> thanks chili so much:)..you are so calm and soothing under pressure and have such a nice way about you! thank you so much for your response..i think everything'll be ok computer- wise..even though i have a very difficult time getting on any site. it's probably some stupid little computer glitch..i don't get the intuition that it's catastrophic..thanks again. god love you chili.

Microsoft (if that's what you're using) writes horrid software. Temporary internet files that aren't temporary, and they clog up the swap file.
Pull down the Tools menu at the top of the page. Select Internet Options. On the General tab, click the button on the second panel from the top, Delete Files. It will open a small window, tick the box "delete all offline content", and be prepared to wait a while, if you've never done this maintenance before. I had 10 GB in garbage disappear the first time I did that. It took two hours. My computer was never happier, after that.
