Hummmm.... I can't get www thelyrics dabsol dot net to show anything
either. I'd suggest going to toniarts site and download, install and run
her EasyCleaner registry cleaner. It's safe, easy to use (may take a few
minutes the first time)... but when it shows a ton of UNNECESSARY files,
click select all and delete. It will ask for re-confirmation 'are you
sure?' Click yes and then reboot your system. It sounds like the registry
needs cleaning and this is a safe easy and free program. There's nothing to
fear about loosing files because it by default deletes them to the
trashcan.. so should you need or want any of those files, just go there and
restore them (it). I've never....NEVER had to restore any file that
EasyCleaner has found to be unnecessary. And it makes my old system run
better. Here's the homesite
