Hi Harrycat,

The system's got 4GB of RAM.

EDIT: Done all the other usual things - clearing out temp files, cleaning of registry, defragmenting drive, etc. All that helped to a good extent.

HC, I've already transferred a lot of stuff from the C drive to D. Things like her documents, music files, etc. In fact, we stopped installing new programmes on C: and use D instead.

Not sure what you mean by 'expanding the C partition'. I think that changing partitions requires formatting.
It's a long time since I had a full hard drive, so not now sure, but I seem to recall that Windows needed 15% space on the hard drive to fulfill all it's functions, so 4.78gb spare may not be enough. I confess I am not up to speed on 7, so others may be more helpful.
Your system info/ task manager (ctrl+Alt+del) should show you how much of your system is being used.

HC - I should be able to increase the size of the C partition by taking space from the D partition (in other words, shrink "D" and create an unallocated partition and then merge it with "C"). Was planning to use a tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard. My main concern was whether by going thru these steps, do I have a chance of solving the freezing problem?

Got to be worth a try (though never done that myself) as I think you have proved that space on C drive is your main problem. Worth backing up as much as you can to a flash drive or external hard drive just in case it all goes wrong.

Yep, doing just that. Got my 1TB USB drive out. After backing up the C and D drives, will go ahead and expand the C drive. Fingers crossed!

When I move away from Stockwatch, but leave the window upon,many times it doesn`t update the prices, and I have to refresh, also MAM seem not to be able to
pin point why if I move to another window and come back to Stockwatch it demands I re- log in, not a big problem but annoying.

Anyone else bugged by this?

This sounds to me as though you are accessing the data, whilst it is stored in some kind of cache and then said cache gets full up and then it is emptied and re-filled with you doing the 'Refresh'.

Who is your ISP?

By the way, I would presume you've checked whether you have the latest Java?

The login problem is to do with various MAM cookies.

You can have a look at them, by say using CCleaner, and then select the ones that you want to either keep or delete as and when you "Housekeep" and 'Delete Cookies'.

This would allow you to go through a sorta kinda 'start again with tidied up MAM cookies'.

Cheers Exec, yes re.Java but when I click on the Java link it tells me I am running an old Java, then when I download the latest one it tells me I have it already, hmmm.

ISP is BT,no other probs with them at all.

Have a look HERE

thanks Exec` seems I am running the correct Sun Java

cheers

Anyone still getting the annoying Java Fatal Error note on the desktop? First day today of a new computer and guess what? Bl++dy Java error message! Stockwatch applet seems to be the cause. Help please. I don't want my lovely new machine to end up like the last one with a desktop littered with these wretched notes. What is going on?

TOK,

It seems to be an IE9 - Java compatability issue - does it happen if you try another browser such as chrome or firefox?

Not loaded Chrome or Mozilla on this machine and I don't really want to. Can't remember if it happened with Mozilla on the old machine.

moved to correct thread

I use IE9.0.8112.16421 and I don't get any Java issues with Stockwatch.

Exec
same here until this weekend when I updated Java.
After some playing around found that moneyam was no longer excluded in popup blocker. Once done everything was back to normal.

TOK
updated my java to latest at the weekend and getting loads of error messages today.
No need to clutter up desktop just delete them, they're only text files.

Important piece of Stockwatch info':

After some playing around found that moneyam was no longer excluded in popup blocker. Once done everything was back to normal.

Pressing the 'Ctrl' button on the keyboard can often be of useful help.

Good morning Windows 7 users

Some snags on my lovely new setup on which I need some help please.

1.- The 23" TFT screen is set at 1680x1050 (recommended) resolution with small type but when the machine is awakened after a deep sleep it defaults to 800x600 with grotesque large type. How can I stop this happening?

2. -The Network display shows I am connected to my BT home hub and also TalkTalk CB1854. Who is this TalkTalk? Has someone hijacked my network?

2.- When looking at Stockwatch if I scroll with the mousewheel the screen relists the stocks one by one at every notch of the scroll. Is this another Explorer 9 compatability issue?

Thanks in advance. TOK
