ION: help me. *CLINGS*
Okay, so. My computer, which has already had a MYRIAD PROBLEMS (and is just over a year old. Thanks for the DUD, DELL. >:(((( ) is at it AGAIN.
This has happened before, where for WHATEVER reason, my computer won't load LJ properly.
This is what it looks like.

:/ Like. There's no top menu, and it's all fucked up. When I go to comment on something, however, it starts a new page (instead of just dropping down) and THEN LJ looks normal. (But the drop-downs don't work.) When I'm NOT in mode=reply, however, it goes back to being what it is up there.
It's not the END of the world, but last time, it only got WORSE, because it started loading other sites like delicious.com the same way. Which is super annoying and basically makes it unworkable.
Also, last time this happened, I had them replace the entire hard drive, because there were various other issues involved. I would really like to not have to do that again, 'cause it was a huge pain in my ass. :|
What can I do? I uninstalled a couple of programs I didn't really need, restarted this MULTIPLE times, and still: this is what it looks like. As far as I can tell, in my limited knowledge, it's some kind of script that refuses to run, right? Or SOMETHING like it? Because this is what my "post" window looks like right now.
This is meta.

:/
So, so. Any help would be REALLY appreciated. I'm hoping it just goes away on its own, but maybe I could somehow help it along. SIGH.
Is it me? You can tell me, computer. I want to help you. You just have to want to help yourself.
ETA: OOOH YAY. I did ~~~something and it's back to normal. YAY. THANK YOU, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.

2. Run MalwareBytes' Antimalware, just in case. (It's free.)
3. Run a disk cleanup (system restore)
4. Run an analsys to see whether you need to defrag the harddrive.
5. Reset your internet security to "medium" factory settings, in case something is wrong.
6. Call me and I'll walk you through it. I will not leave you on hold, lol.
