it could be flashblock, ad block, or spywareblaster or any type of tool or program you have on your pc that blacklists sites automatically and you are seeing the list of them. It would depend on which you have and which he does not have. If you don't both have spywareblaster I would definitely add that to both, you just have to open it once a week hit the update button then the enable all protection button so it's shield is green and that is it, it just sits there and helps keep the bad guys away.

The Dell site shows your computer with 512 megs of RAM, perhaps that is an issue. Part of that, perhaps as much as 128 megs is used by the onboard graphics card How often to you reboot the computer? Perhaps a couple of your games are not closing properly and retaining some of the memory. Have you upgraded to Service Pack 3 for XP? Have you ever visited the Dell site linked below for newer drivers for this computer? If you have never done it before it might be worth saving all your personal data and programs and returning the computer to factory defaults with the Dell recovery program you got with the computer. Remember this is a drastic step and it may take you a few days to get everything back to your liking. The basic computer will work better but you then need all the updates.

It went away entirely for me, and closed up the space. I have Ad-block Plus. I don't know about right-clicking; on a Mac I used Control-click and got a menu that included "block image."

Anyone with any doubts about Superior Walls should use something else. I watched the setting of those for two houses before making my decision. The bolts installed when setting the panels hold the walls until the house floor structure is PROPERLY secured to the top of the walls. The basement floor slab keeps the walls from moving in at the bottom and if the builder chooses, the walls are secured to the slab to prevent outward movement for daylight basements. The backfill prevents outward movement at the bottom. Thinking things through from a technical perspective is helpful. Going on now with 12 years with my Superior Walls and am perfectly pleased. Concrete block probably comprises the majority of basement foundation construction and it is the poorest choice in my opinion. But that is not to say that it is a bad choice-- definitely not the best.
