Anyone know what's going on here?
The Control Panel is totally unresponsive—just dead. And even when it actually does respond, if I try clicking something like Windows Update, this pops up:

To put it bluntly, your Windows is pretty much toast—which means you’ll likely need to go ahead with a fresh installation. Before you pull the trigger on that, though, maybe try running a deep scan with your antivirus? It might also be worth giving Malwarebytes, CCleaner, AdwCleaner, or HitmanPro a shot just to see if they can catch anything...

You should probably consider a clean reinstall of Windows. It looks like you've picked up some Windows AIDS.

Can any of you smart folks tell me how to get around a multi-year ban? Here’s what I’m seeing:

Linda Wood4, you don't have permission to access this page. This might be happening for a few different reasons:

Your account might not have enough clearance to view this page. Are you attempting to edit another user's content, reach admin settings, or hit up some other restricted area?
If you're just trying to post, the site admin might have locked your account or it's still waiting to be activated.
Thanks for the help, R5

Forgot to mention, I'm running Windows 7.

So, do you have more than one user account set up on Windows 7? If you do, you probably aren't logged in as the Administrator—in which case, you’ll likely need to switch over to the main admin account just to get the permissions you're looking for.

Which part of this forum are you even trying to get into?

Like, I try to click "find more posts..." on your thread, and this weird mess of text just pops up. It’s been happening for years.
Most of my time is spent browsing the linguistics boards.
(Just so you know, we go way back—from the old days.
Now it probably makes sense to you).
Thanks to you and everyone else for being so helpful.

I honestly thought he was talking about something happening within Windows itself—not making a comment about the forums here 😁😁
