laundry list

tabs on occasion jump off and start their own window?!?!?

the longer a page has stood loaded the more likely its text will be unavailable to highlight soas to copy it
and reloading the page doesnt work
you have to open a new tab with the same url, then you can highlight text

mckafree keeps reminding me its expired and i should purchase
something in the system tells me about its finding nothing doing the same thing

i read their comperable

it gets bogged down several times a day and i force shutdown so that when it restarts all my tabs have been preserved

what am i doing wrong?

i hate how the links only work some of the time!

download not moving at all' the button says cancel, but clicking it doesn't do anything

why does this add have a pause button and volume control if they don't do anything?

and a restart didn't help,

I can play a video if its enbedded in a page,
if I click "watch on youtube.com" so I can fill the screen the new tab that opens is blank save for a youtube header
not a link on the page

and the stream player wont link to anything now
the one in the new tab that comes up when I click on the listen live button
its a public radio station that streams

Aren't computers such time savers :mrgreen:

Sorry i'm no more help. My MO is reformat the harddrive and reinstall a known working backup. Else, as you are, likely into some head scratching n time wasting ...


:bong4: Peace out man

id be totally onboard for automating that occurring every couple weeks

but the computer didn't come with a single disk
and my last computer didn't even have a disk drive

how is that done anymore?
