I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.
Tiger Signature
I was having problems on my laptop (or should say one of my laptops as I have more than one) with Firefox 14.0.1 and the latest version of Flash Player. ie couldn't view the countdown clocks or moon phases in FF.
Anyway, after much time and a fair bit of frustration having fruitlessly uninstalled/reinstalled a few times. it was finally sorted by disabling the web download and record function in Real Player. For some reason this is not compatible with Firefox.
I don't use Firefox often as I prefer Internet Explorer but have the top five browsers installed for checking out stuff I put on our website. No trouble at all with the other browsers, IE9, Chrome, Safari and Opera, just Firefox. Strange.
Thought I would put this here in case anyone else had similar problems.

It sounds as if your computer is suffering from some sort of virus. There seems too many things going wrong at once.
Sounds like it could do with a major overhaul fish. Do you do the usual maintenance things on your computer? Scans, defrags and such like? Do you have automatic Windows updates?
Thanks Tiger for that just what I need as I do not understand how they get into my pc????????? Had trouble ever since tried to use colored writing. How do I get rid of the virus please????

Do you not have a virus checker on your computer?
How did you do your coloured writing?
Hi Chloe will have to get someone with pc know how to do that for me as I do not understand a lot of pc jargon. sorry. Was my late sons job to clean the pc.
That sounds like a good idea fish. Do you have someone local you can take it to?
Can't remember what keys I pressed down at the same time. Ever since we all tried to color write I have had a prob with pc.
