For those of you with computer problems.
Many are seeing crazy problems in chat and on blog talk radio.
I cured my problems. Now, I know if they are mine or someone elses.
First go to your Start in the bottom left of your computer.
Click on it.
When you list pops up.
Click on Run. Type the word "Cookies" in it. When they come up.
Select all
and Delete them. You can even Delete them afterward in your Recycle Bin.Now click back on "Start" and go to "All Programs" look on the top right of the list and click on "Microsoft Updates". (Yes, I have it too where they update automatically. But, not all. I have found out). When Microsoft updates comes up. Do as they say. For XP users they will have Windows XP Secure Package 3 and I am telling you it takes 30 minutes to an hour depending on your speed. This program seems to reload the whole XP and fix the silly problems.
I have no more re-loops of my show and get thrown out. Things are clearer. In chat I can hear and see the shows.
My computer is moving faster as well.
I empty cookies out every few days, because I am on the computer a lot.
Also once a week you should Defrag. Many will ask what it is.
Go to Start and click on All Programs. Look for Asseccories when it opens go to System Tools.
Click on Disk Clean-Up after it is done, then click on Disk Defragmenter.
If you are on the computer as much as I am. You should do this once a week. It puts all your files back in order, allowing your computer to move faster.
If it gives you trouble. Then do it in Safe Mode.
How to get to Safe Mode. Restart your computer. Before it restarts start tapping F8 key and the computer will ask if you want Safe Mode. What this does is stops all programs from starting while you defrag.
Need any more help.
Call the Geek Mobile. Hahahaha

We are very sorry to hear that one of our esteemed hosts, Steve Bayne of The esteBAM Show, has passed away.
..Many of us were listeners of the show, where esteBAM interviewed celebrity guests and always had a great time.
Steve was a pleasure to work with and have on the network. He was professional, energetic, and infallibly positive. I'm sure many of his listeners and online friends did not even know about his illness.
Here is an excerpt from a testimonial Steve sent us on May 6th about his experience with BlogTalkRadio:
I am forever grateful to Blog Talk Radio for giving me an outlet to let my talents shine. I am not sure if the creators realize what this platform can do for people, it has truly changed my life. Yeah it may sound weird what I am saying, but when you feel you have lost everything you once stood for and felt like the end was nearing and have an outlet to turn too such as Blog Talk you may then understand what I am saying.
Thank you Blog Talk Radio and all of the staff for being there to help me and creating such a wonderful environment to broadcast my show every week. With you guys I may have not been able to pull myself back to the happy go lucky person I once was before getting sick. I will forever be grateful for to you as a company that stands behind their hosts; there are other sites out there that do not do that for their hosts.
Steve thoroughly enjoyed being a BlogTalkRadio host, and we enjoyed having him around. Even through his most difficult times, Steve did not complain. He would e-mail me with excitement every time he booked a hot new guest, and always thanked us when he was featured.
The BlogTalkRadio community will miss Steve very much, and our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

C.L. Freire is a Tween Fantasy Author who lives in Miami with her husband and children. C.L. is the master-mind behind the popular MySpace Group http://www.myspace.com/writerstogether. Check out her other spaces and enjoy her work. http://www.clfreire.blogspot.com/ http://www.myspace.com/clfreire
Author C. L. Freire is a passionate author with the first two novels in her Tween fantasy series complete. She has been writing since she was thirteen years old, but dreaming about it since she could hold up a pencil and locate the nearest blank wall. Thinking back, she vividly recalls scribbling on napkins at parties, on menus in restaurants and in every notebook she ever carried with her to school. An avid reader as well, her mother signed her up for the Reader's Weekly Book Club when C. L. was seven. She would devour the books the same day they arrived, and she would spend the rest of the week analyzing them. Throughout her school years, she was nicknamed "Book Girl" by her friends.
In her teens, C. L. discovered the music in words and threw herself into poetry; something she also became known for throughout her time in school. In her later teens, she began writing scenes--a venture that carried her into adulthood, until she finally fed her desire to finally try her hand at writing a novel. Admitting that her first attempt didn't exactly go off without a hitch, she learned a lot from that experience. Nearly five years ago, she began working on her current project, a Tween fantasy series about a boy and his search for someone very important, his unmasking of a dangerous man bent on destruction, and the birth of one of Elder City's greatest heroes. She has always loved YA books as well, so her goal is to one day leap into that market full throttle.
C. L. holds a deep passion, not only for the craft itself, but for helping other authors achieve their dreams—a passion that led her to start a Myspace page called Writers Together, which is solely dedicated to offering exposure and a sense of community to authors everywhere.
"Writing, for me, is a mind-bending obsession that drives anyone who will listen, crazy." –C. L. Freire
She looks forward to the day when an aspiring author can look to her and say, "Thank you for inspiring me to reach for my dreams no matter the obstacles that stood in my way."
