    no I haven't. It recharged within a few hours and then lasted for two days even when I used it a lot. So all was good there. The only issue it had for a year or two was that it "hung itself up" after a while when watching videos on it. Nothing else.
    I'll take the time to try out your ideas mentioned above, guys, thanks a lot. Will let you know if I succeed in anyway
  3. Good luck with it, Kirsten
  4. Installed a new ROM on my phone, Android 2.3.5 sporting HTC Sense 3.5. I've always been a fan of Sense, but this blows me away. A lot of elements still present in HTC Sense 4.0 but a much better experience than Sense 2.x

    The ROM is to all intents and purposes the Desire HD ROM. Which is an upgrade from the Desire ROM I used to run. Just hope battery life can keep up.

    EDIT: A test run earlier proved to be successful. A lot quicker than the old ROM, hopefully it remains that way when I load it up with apps.
  5. Iv'e decided on an ''Iphone'' Thanks to everyone. Siesta time now, I hate technology.

  6. iPhone = safe way to be satisfied
  7. we have a computer in the office that we share with several people.
    While I use Chrome, some others use IE 8. Lately I've noticed that sometimes the computer works really slowly. When I open the Task Manager then, I can see that there is ieplorer.exe working in the background, even though IE has been "officially" closed and is not shown in the working programs (the ones opened). When I close those 6-10 iexplorer processes all manually one after another, it is gone. But maybe some hours later, it often happens that they reactivate themselves again and are busy without showing up, only in the running processes, eating a giant amount of working space.

    any idea?
  8. Sounds like malware to me. Or something not configurated properly
  9. Sounds fishy. Or the iexplore is loaded by some malware to do some work, or its malware 'impersonating' iexplore.

    A third explanation may be buggy software that spawns these processes without a valid reason.
  10. Techs always explain things better ...haha
  11. okay....

    I've completely uninstalled IE, restarted the computer and downloaded & installed IE anew.
    Same problem with this activity in the background.

    what can I do about this? Get rid of IE and leave it completely? Hit the computer with a hammer? We have an AntiVirus programm running and it never said a word about this.

    edit: downloading some anti-malware program now. trying to solve it this way. thanks for the very professional explanations, Chris and Sergio, always grateful you're there to offer your knowledge on these things that I have no clue about :
  12. Its probably not IE's fault. If you want I can have a look tomorrow by using 'Teamviewer'. Then I can use your computer as if i were behind it myself and try to figure out whats wrong
