OT: Computer / Internet Issues
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2019 1:42 pm
Not really photo related, but I mainly use the laptop as my photo workstation and for internet access, and you all are the most knowledgeable people re: this stuff that I know. Pardon typos, etc, posting from iPad for reasons that will become obvious.
We’re in extreme S TX, and our Verizon isn’t stellar. Lately, we can’t open Chrome on our laptop, (Win7Pro), but we can get on w/ our iPhones and iPad. I click on the desktop icon, then the highlighting of the icon just fades out. If I go in via “programs” nothing happens at all. I can get on IE, it opens the home page, and links are sloooow to open.
I tried a restore point where I know Chrome worked. No luck.
If it’s just crappy signal, is there a reason it works w/ iPad, but not the PC? And why would IE sort of work?
Could my Chrome download have gotten corrupted? Should I delete it and re-download via IE?
If so, should I use the Win7 uninstall, or the one in CC tools?
Thanks in advance. We’re in a motor home, and will soon be heading to an even more rural area, so I’d really like to get this fixed ASAP!
BTW, the Lenovo system scan says everything is peachy, FWIW.
