I have Windows ME on my home computer. I have very basic knowledge of computers.

Problem 1: The computer has been turning off by itself lately; the power is on, but there's nothing on the monitor and I have to push the power button on the hard drive to get things running.

Problem 2: The last time I re-booted the system there was an error message that came up at the same time the "Do you want to reload your active desktop?" came up. The error message was something about "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?" I believe I said NO. Since then I am not able to use links in email or websites. Are these things connected? And how do I fix it so I can use links again?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!!!
