Computer going crazy... - The Punters Lounge

Nade · 28-05-2007, 12:34

Hi, I thought maybe turning off my computer would have done the trick- it's been off all night - but no! The BBC Sport website still looks f'd up with blue writing and no background colour, but also when i try and put the emotes into posts on PL they don't work and i cannot create paragraphs because everything just compresses together. [space] Well confused....... Anything up with it?...

have you tried system restore mate ?

Nade · 28-05-2007, 12:57

No, what would that do exactly, is it the same as putting the computer back to factory settings? because i don't really want to go through that hassle ... cheers.

System restore resets the computer's settings to a date of your choosing. The system regularly creates restore points for you to go back to.

So if you noticed your computer not working on thursday you can tell it to restore all the settings to what they were on wednesday when the computer was working thus, hopefully, getting rid of the problem

Try different browser, sounds like browser problem..

Firefox - Highly recommended..
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Opera - Best browser bar none IMO..
http://www.opera.com/

Yep, i think that's it! I use mozilla but now posting on IE and the pics work:

etc. and the BBC Sport site is now perfect. Never had a prob with Mozilla before, does it need an update?

Ell Ess Dee · 28-05-2007, 20:01

Dunno mate, I only use it as a backup nowadays. Not really a fan of it myself..

Nade · 28-05-2007, 20:08

ralphie7 · 28-05-2007, 21:02
