RE: I really need help! Please Help. - FlightToAtlantis - Apr 12, 2013
If you had the slightest anticipation that you would have the same system after reinstall that you had before install you should have been a bit more informed prior to reinstalling your system. At the very least, in addition to backing up my files I would have run some reports and/or perhaps taken some screenshots, or saved the options settings along with my backups. Most applications come with the ability to export settings which can then be imported on another install or another system. Sometimes this can be as simple as exporting a registry key.
I’m afraid if you don’t know the previous settings then no one else here knows them either. Possibly you could ask the previous owner what some of the settings used to be.
I would suggest that if you want Google SketchUp without any add-ons that you try the Google website direct.
Good luck.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! I turns out Google Chrome was the problem and was for some reason preventing me from installing Mozilla Firefox and Google Sketchup, so I opened up My Documents and searched mozilla.com through Internet Explorer and when I downloaded it, it actually worked. I also learned from FlightToAtlantis that Chrome had Spyware. I figured it did, because of it's enormous program size, but I still used it anyways. I am now using Mozilla Firefox as I always have and it seems to be the best search engine on the web.

Why would Chrome have spyware? Lots of programs that you can install will install malicious toolbars and extensions to Chrome, but Google wouldn't do that kind of thing. They'd get sewed and everybody would know about it.

Google has always been like that.
RE: I really need help! Please Help. - RCTgoMatthew - Apr 12, 2013
Well there is no sypware on my Google Chrome.
RE: I really need help! Please Help. - Blu - Apr 12, 2013
Same here.
RE: I really need help! Please Help. - Ardy - Apr 12, 2013
Well, how do explain thousands of MB, while Mozilla has only 45 MB?

On the task manager, you see that Chrome has lots of processes running. That's because each extension is it's own process. That way, when one extension crashes, the whole program doesn't crash with it. It also makes it faster because it doesn't have to run all those extensions with it. Of course, your computer might not be able to handle it, but they can't help that. I'm guessing it has to do with something like that.

It think Google Chrome has too many hidden programms.

I’m very glad you’ve sorted your problem, Demos.
________________________________________________
The multiple processes that run in order for Chrome to work means that Chrome is quick because it uses extensive amounts of system resources, and, I would imagine this also means Chrome runs at the expense of much of what’s on one’s system. If I wanted Internet Explorer to run that fast I’d simply go to task manager and whack up the priority – I’d have just as much speed without all that resource expense.
IE doesn’t need all these resources, doesn’t give me the impression like Chrome does that it has it’s own agenda in the background, is easier to adjust the options in than Firefox, doesn't give me positives in a spyware scan like Chrome and now doesn’t crash like it did in older IE versions. Newer versions of IE will advise it had a problem with a page and is reloading it, or one tab will crash while the other six stay open after which IE will offer to reopen the crashed tab for you.
I see Internet Explorer as the original and best.
