Okay.  I'm just going to say it.  Since they have changed the format here, I have had nothing but problems!  If I am trying to read a post, I have all this stuff popping up.  NO not pop up ads.  I get things like:


Must abort this site. It's busy.


Continue this script?


Must shut down this site.


Freezing screen


This web page is not available.


Sometimes, I only get half of the Message Board Central


I am lucky if I can be here for more than 5 minutes.  Then problems start. 


Frustration is getting to me.  If anyone has any ideas?  No virus.

Well that's my dial-up vs broadband theory shot down.

I have all three browsers in the tray at the bottom of my screen so I can use whichever takes my fancy.

Thanks for the input.

Perhaps the bugs have been worked out of Vista in subsequent updates. Glad it's working for you and your acquaintances.

My DH's business uses pricey software and hardware. He was very concerned about compatibility issues and simply couldn't see taking a chance on an operating system which, at least at introduction, wasn't performing well.

Microsoft has a track record of bullying competitors and using monopolistic practices to force them out of markets altogether. Netscape comes forcibly to mind. I'm no fan of either Bill Gates or his company. In fact, considered putting Linux on my new laptop a year ago but was too lazy.

Doubtless you have more computer experience than me, particularly in programming, but I was using punch cards to access the University of Michigan's political science database thirty five years ago. The computer took up the entire basement of the engineering hall at the university I attended ! Do you remember "Do not bend, fold, spindle or mutilate"? Punch card Christmas wreaths? ;-)

"I was using punch cards"

Me too in the early 60's before I came to the US.

I get that message occasionally because we have a router. I have to unplug it and wait 30 seconds and re boot.
