MadMonkey: I signed up on windows live which signed me up as a technet member. So I was able to download Windows 7 as a Beta tester. So far, I'm impressed with the way it runs.

Czuch: Actually, I thought it was out in full release, but I could be wrong with that.

Czuch: I've done really well with FF3, and have had no problems with it.

Rose: I haven't seen anything like that. Is it only on this site?

MadMonkey: What's the spider? I haven't been to mine in quite a while.

TheCrazyPuppy:  There is a whole list at the Firefox Fellowship

Fencer: Thanks! I'm happy to see that I can't find it in my add/remove programs.

what is FunWebProducts?

Puckish: LOL, true. I use it to watch my NBC & CBS shows from the website.

MadMonkey: LOL!!! I understood what you wrote, but I bet Oppsidaisy's eyes just glazed over.

coan.net: I thought I heard that if you use 2, they can detect each other or something.

Gordon Shumway: wow! That is a lot different. I'll have to remember to click it when my eyes are tired. Thanks for that!

ellieoop: I tried IE7 and it drove me so crazy, that it actually got me to go full time with Firefox. I don't use IE at all anymore and I'm much happier for it. lol

I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but that was my solution.

Andersp: Actually greenbob did the work, but yes, it was easy. LOL, he says it depends on your definition of easy. <snicker>

How about you, A.W.?

oh I forgot to add we have 3 desktops (used to be 4) and 2 to 3 laptops at the house.

Andersp: LOL, I had to come home to look! Mine is also the Linksys Wireless-G. This is a 4000 sq foot single story home and I get reception through out the house.

I did have a Netgear ummm one of the higher range ones - I , and it worked ok, Its up at my other home in Denison but sometimes the wireless on it just drops for no reason while the ethernet ports are just dandy.

Andersp: I have a Linksys Router that works nicely at home. Here at the warehouse I use AT&T provided 2-wire Gateway (DSL router & modem). Never a problem with it, and I get great reception in this 3000 sq ft warehouse/office.

jadarite: Glad you found a solution. Guess I missed that when you told us the first time.

Enjoy your games.

From todays blog "An abnormal keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Alt-F12 invokes a smiley popup window, so you don't need to search a mouse while typing. But you have to use it anyway to click the smiley"

Ctrl-Alt-F12 brings up a window for Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (whatever that is)

wfroelich: That's the same thing I found with the blank white banner. It was a weight watcher ad tho. I couldn't get it to repeat (lol - like I would want that, eh?)

Google Toolbar's Pop-up blocker will block it on IE, and Adblock Plus on Firefox seems to completely remove the ads from even showing.

Jessica, I hope this will help you.........

jadarite: I thought the whole thread was that we were trying to help you with the pop-ups. Guess I got confused.

Good luck with resolving it.

Well, at any rate. The Google Toolbar on IE will definately stop the pop-up as I tested today.

No matter where it comes from, at least there is a solution to avoid it.

coan.net: That gave me an idea! I opened up IE6 with Google Toolbar (glad I had it on, but I didnt know that!) and put the ads back on at the bottom. Then I just randomly starting clicking on boards to see what ad came up.

The first time the Weight Watcher ad showed, it was blank with a mouse-over that said 'click to activate and use this control'. When I navigated to the next board page, The Pop-Up Blocker said it blocked a pop-up. (I cannot figure how to find out what the pop-up was). No problems after that, and I couldnt get it to do that again.

Here's a list in order of ads I saw..........

Cardschat
weight watchers - blank - click to activate and use this control
Google Popup Blocker with no ad
cardschat
no ad oh.... maybe latestcasinobonuses.com
weight watcher with graphics

jadarite: You don't want the info to get buried on the board, but if you only talk with a few by PM, then the rest of us are shut out in the dark and unable to follow the conversation at all..... :(

I forgot to add that you would most likely need to buy the wireless card for the desk top tho.

rod03801: You should have an ethernet card already. It will look like a 2nd phone jack in back but had a green light beside it. That would be all you need.

Check if they offer a wireless router even. The nice thing about that is you then have a choice of using the ethernet line or the wireless connection.

Most laptops these days come with the wireless card installed, so if you ever get a laptop you are all set.

And if Verizon ever offers Fios in your area, snap it up! Its worth every penny and even better than cable.

Rose: There you go, spoilin' my fun again. snicker.

lol. all the others are moving 'cept the bananas

Oceans Apart: lol, they are not dancing now!!!! I think you jinxed me.

Speaking of slow pages, I was searching on Firefox the other day for a bandwidth tester, and I found the FasterFox extension.

I don't know what it does, but my page loading smokes now!

http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/

possibly. You would have to check with hotmail and msn mail to see if they offer pop service. I don't use them.

Rose: Rose must think she's royalty. She called herself 'us'


*running away VERY fast*

anastasia: To use pop mail with Yahoo, you have to get their premium services.

I have a yahoo account that I keep cause its 10 years old. But I use Gmail for my pop mail. Its a new account so I don't get any spam and it works great. Gmail also has unlimited storage.

If you like, I can email you an invite to use gmail.

nope. yahoo charges premium prices for that. Greedy so-and-so's.

anastasia: if its for yahoo mail, you have to pay yahoo to use pop mail.

ummm, at least, I think that would be all.....

Attention, Attention!!! Pythagoras is lazy. He said so!

*running away very fast as I whisper* You should be ok, just will be restricted on where you can post.

WhiteTower: LOL, I used to live in Florida and I have seen some pretty FAST snails there!

رضا: Its no problem Reza. I thought that also, and answered so Ali see what Bubba had posted.

:))

he said #2


then he gave his opinion.

mrloupcity: I don't know much, and a whole lot less than the others on here, but I'll tell you this. My netgear wireless router was a nightmare in the end.

I had someone put that one in, cause I had so much headache with others before. All was great for 3 months, then I started having it suddenly drop and lose signal or lose internet. I finally decided it was outside interference, maybe a ham radio or other transmission drowning it out.

Anyway, we finally got so fed up, that we had it all pulled out. I had the same problem you did with trying to put the other card back in. Her pc is still looking for wireless even tho its not there, I bet.

I don't know what all Robert did. (He doesn't play here) but I can always give you his email addy if you like and you could contact him.

Hopefully, the others can give you some help.

Sally

I knew there had to be an easy way!

Thanks BBW!

How can i remove an extension on firefox? I have a couple added that I don't want now.

where do you go to upgrade? My little green upgrade button seems to be for add-ins.

nope, you need to see the Green Green Grass of -- uh -- Texas! again. heehee

Backoff: Hey Bubba! I got 2 computers that I need you to come reformat. It'd make a great Thanksgiving Day present!

Backoff: maybe it is! I just tried again and it prited ok.

oh well, chalk another one up!

Ok, here I go again! lol

I decided to use FireFox for my eBay stuff and see how it goes. I wanted to print part of a listing, but, when I went to print, the Print spooler seems to have gotten hung up.

The firefox dialog box sayd 100% but never went away, and the Printer box stuck on 'spooling'. So after 3 or 4 mintues, I said, the heck with that!, and tried to delete the print job. I first canceled the Firefox box, then clicked to delete the print job in Epson box. Now it sat for over 15 minutes saying it was deleting it.

In the meantime, I went into AOL, called up the page and printed from there with no problem. Finally, I went back to the Print box and clicked cancel and its finally gone.

Ok, now my question is...... Why can't I print from Firefox????


grrrrrr

edit - ok so I can't type either! lol

not me!!! lol

playBunny:

no need to worry only about Rose!
