For the past few days I have not been able to log in to chat. I am logging on the board using the new address, and not having a problem with that. But when I try to log into chat, it is so slow. I have let it run up to 15 min. trying to log in.
It shows that it is logging in, the screen icon scrolls like it is logging in, but it never finishes.
At the moment, I am not having any problem with music videos or any other internet connective functions that are normally slow on my computer. (uh, not that I am sitting around watching stuff instead of cleaning . . . )
Any ideas?

Which browser are you using, Dayeanu? And the version? You'll find it under "Help" or "About (browser name)" on your menu bar. Are you still having problems with your computer freezing or shutting itself off?

I'm using Firefox 3.0.10. Today my only problem is word processing functionsI t. Both in Word documents and on-line I type a sentence, and then wait for it to show up.
But I've been able to log on to uTube, etc. and watch videos there without any problem today.
If no one else is having problems, I guess it's my computer. Any idea where I should start to look?

- Try going to www.java.com and click on the link there to TEST to see if you have the latest version of java. Upgrade if necessary. Then clear cache and cookies. Close all browsers. Reopen your browser and try chat again. If that doesn't work, maybe somebody else would have an idea as to what to do. - |

Do you have spyware protection active on your computer? The delay in most activities sounds suspicious to me.

I upgraded java, and everything is working wonderfully well.
I am sure I need to scan for bugs, too. Will do that next.

Just wanted to update that my computer is working at lightning speed since I updated java!
It is operating much faster than I've ever previously experienced!
Even the word processing problem is fixed.
Would updating Java do all that, or did my guardian angel fix things while I slept?

Must have been your guardian angel who I emailed while you were dozing! ![]() No. Credit really goes to Lioness for suggesting updating Java. It does make a difference although I am surprised at the difference in other applications. I'm glad you are up to speed again... and chatting!  |

Computer's back down to a snail's pace, after playing some downloaded music this afternoon.
DD is home tonight and tomorrow, so I won't have access until Wed.
It was nice to see what my computer is capable of.
