Folks, we had qute an ordeal with our Dell Dimension 4500S yesterday. The third time it froze on us. It happened before in February and then in May. I clicked on the internet access icon in the system tray, then clicked on disconnet and that's when it happened.
So, we turned it off and then back on, Clicked on the Start menu to check something, it didn't respond. Click Start menu again this time to turn the computer, no response.
So, I turned it off and then back on. Finally it's working properly but we lost about 15000 files on the computer in the process. Two improper shutdowns in a row.
In any event, it's working O.K. for now. We'll see what happens.:-D
