various problems

[cheryl]

hi i have a couple of problems that have cropped up in
the last 2 weeks
1. when typing in an address such as microsoft.com it
won't go to the address unless i type in www.
2. Whenever i turn off the computer and turn it back on i
lose my "chooser user " page from yahoo and some icons on
my desk top. i have to restore them everytime by going to
programs.
3. my computer will not go in sleep mode. it stays on
the screensaver all night

The first problem can be solved by control-enter i. e. type microsoft then
control-enter in the address field.
Secondly I think you need to look into your security settings, maybe you are not
allowing cookies.
Thirdly, Why are you keeping your computer on all night? When do you turn it off? If
you never turn it off how do you know the Yahoo settings are gone?
