For Pattico - Computer Problem

12 years ago

This is what she posted on another thread.

I was going to start a post but there is no place to start a post on here for me today..only the posts already started have the place to reply.

Been having lots of trouble in here since my computer crashed.

What I was going to ask in my post was ....."does anyone have a link to get rid of the green words in the posts?"

That was one of the things I lost in the crash.

I would add one suggestion to this...be sure to active your computer cookies, Patti.

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago after resetting my computer resultant from a modem problem. I was in a hurry and didn't realize that resetting my browser also removed all of my acceptable "cookies". After tearing my hair out for about 15 minutes...trying to get rid of the green words...it suddenly dawned on me what the problem was. I reactivated the cookie for Garden Wed and all returned to normal.

You can opt out here or you can simply add it to your content blocker in Opera, Chrome, K-meleon, Safari or Firefox. If you're still using IE, you can add it to the Hosts file to knock it out.

I use Firefox daily and never had this problem, I would not quickly attribute it to Firefox. But make sure you have the latest updated version of Firefox! Try clearing the cache on Firefox which should be done regularly anyway. Try Right clicking on the back arrow, that will give you a drop down list of the previous pages you visited, click here on the first selection which should be exactly the same as just hitting the back button once. If this works I think you might have a problem with the actual back button. Do you have any problems with just using the cursor and using it to click on the back arrow on Firefox? I don't think I have ever used the back button on my pc keyboard to go back to the previous page, I strictly use the mouse cursor, my mouse actually has a specific go back button on it but I rarely use it.

Whew. Glad it's fixed! My mom and I went through something simliar years ago. Except, dummy me, I couldn't figure out what she meant. Until I finally drove over and saw it in person. Ah ha. Click, click, fixed. Now if I could've just gotten in via remote desktop it'd saved me a drive. She had the taskbar on the side and I just couldn't figure out what she meant. A "sidebar". Huh? She'd unlocked the taskbar, and slid it so that it was vertical instead of at the bottom and horizontal. Got it. I thought she meant she had an auxillary "thing" going on. HA!

Thanks for the response. I'm using Windows 7. I saw this information but found it too confusing for my skill level. I did the command prompt and then got to the list of all the Junction files but got lost at that point. I found several other posts from persons in a situation similar to mine. They'd point out that the example was unclear and the IT help desk person would just re-state what was said originally. Kind of humorous actually.

Glenda - hello back! Nice to hear from you. pattico - I should have figured as much since I participate less than that lately. I just saw someone was looking for "Pattie" and my first thought was you so I looked for recent activity and, as I said before, nothing shows beyond Nov. Strange but glad you, and others that have posted here, are still still kickin'. lol.

Oh and of course with Chrome and Firefox (at least) you have to add Adblock and then add it in. With Opera, content blocking has been part of the browser for a long time. Which explains why it's probably the most copied browser, but never duplicated.
