I think you are possibly correct.

However, MightyMicro and his mates, the site's designers, do take a great pride in site design and on this type of thing and try to design problems like this out.

The fact that there is a download available to cater for it and the fact that there are other similar downloads which users can 'tweak' for themselves does illustrate the uniqueness and open architecture characteristics of Firefox as a browser. Perhaps because of this, you can't have everything?

Why don't you use another browser other than Firefox for Stockwatch?

He does.

Firefox, IE8, Google Chrome all result in same problem, Opera is OK and displays stockwatch at the correct size, but I do not like Opera freeze and hang issues.

Clubman, I had a similar problem with one PC. I found that streaming stockwatch gave be very tall characters. I resolved it by 'grabbing' a horizontal and pushing it up or down to resize the characters and hey presto, it all came out the right size. Only problem is that it reverts back to the original size, but I know how to resolve it now. I might try some of the suggestions we've had on here to see if I can fix it for good.

Opti - I haven't forgotten - will be on the case soon.

Been accessing Moneyam ok all today, just skipped to another thread and all the formatting has gone between the posts

The right hand side of the page is missing

The right hand side of the page is not missing, jeffmack, don't be so silly :-) User interface studies have shown that that is what you want to see. See bugs thread for explanation :-)

Is there anybody on here viewing streaming stockwatch with Windows 7
64 bit & Internet Explorer 8

I feel the above is incompatable with the website.

I have just tried running MoneyAM Stockwatch in IE8 32 bit and 64 bit side by side under Win 7 64bit, they are both fine and identical.

Have you tried using a product like CCleaner and clearing out all your temporary internet files, etc, cookies, etc, (your cache) particularly all the MoneyAM ones, so as to have a clean start?

We've plugged the horrible little NTL modem into a Netgear Prosafe VPN Firewall FVS 338. It's just plugged in, and the settings can be tweaked with instructions from the support page here.

Optimist, just vaguely I remember something about having to set up the router in "bridge mode" in these cases, but I wouldn't know what that means exactly in practice. Presumably NAT and DHCP need to be disabled.

SC

Thanks for that, I'll look into that unit.

It has been tried in both modes but I'm sure that the solution is something along the lines that you suggest. Unfortunately. Virgin/NTL/Telewest are less than useful when it comes to giving any details of their system. It is clearly my friends fault for expecting to use more than one PC in his business.

It looks as though the solution will be to add one of the routers that SC has even though it should not be needed. Plus, I will do my best to discourage anyone from ever using Virgin/NTL/Telewest.

Don't know if this might help.

I'm on Virgin cable(for years despite their disinterest)
I've a cable modem wired to a Netgear router (RP114)
This has four outputs and at one time I had 3 comps on it.
It apparently, according to the info I got with it, can be
daisy-chained with other routers, to give up to 256 outputs.

Yep, at one of our branches the Netgear router is daisychained to another router giving us the 10 connections I mentioned earlier. If you're still struggling Opti, I can ask my PC man how he did it - he's very approachable and charges nothing for advice.

Well that has me stumped. I tried running stockwatch at a friends house last night he also has Windows 7 64bit, IE8 browser, and the stockwatch is small same as mine, so now I am at a loss to understand why our, PC's display this way and yours is OK.

Clubman

Have you tried using the IE8 32 bit browser?

Yes same result, also tried older Java versions, Can not understand why Opera browser runs OK, someone did tell me that Opera has something built in for Java

Only thing that I can think of is that it is something to do with your fonts.

You could try playing around with your themes, or possibly create a new user and try running under that.

-- Optimist,

You don't need to get DHCP from the modem - all you need to do is get the router to connect to the modem, and switch on DHCP in the router. That will supply addresses for all the devices connected to it. As the modem is on the WAN side of the router, it doesn't need to be in the same address range.

So, for example, my Virgin modem appears to my network to be at 192.169.100.1, the router is at 192.168.0.1 and all the network devices are at 192.168.0.2 upwards
