Thanks Kim - all pretty obvious - something has obviously gone awry as I've been listening to the radio over the net for years.

Have you tried using a different browser?

I have an Acer Aspire 5742 laptop. It suddenly will not load an internet page. At the top left it has it has a power on blue light. Normally when the computer is on this light and another little blue light at the bottom near the left are on. Beside the turn on light I now have another flashing blue light which has never come on before and beside that another orange wireless/wifi light which is obviously meant to be there. Does anyone have any idea what this extra flashing blue light is

Balerboy - 27 Jun 2012 23:29 - 9932 of 11003

never had an acer but it sounds as if the internet connection has been lost, possibly the security number of the router may have been lost so check your wireless connections in control panel and try to get re-connected. If it's like my HP's the orange light will change to white/light blue when ok. Worth a look anyway. BB

Hodgins - I have an Acer 5742 and the blue light between the on/off button and the orange wifi light is constantly flashing. I don't think this blue light is your problem. The strength of the flash can vary from weak to strong and indicates something like a cylinder with a dot in the middle of it but I don't know what it is for.

A cylinder would usually indicate a disk access light.

Anyone know how to remove that pernicious " double click", without--

a) being re- directed to a worse site
b) having a " free" download which tells you you have thousands of ` problems` then demands cash to solve them

presume you mean double click cookies which are tracking cookies i believe and are removed by any simple ad ware tool. BB

skinny - 28 Jun 2012 08:08 - 9937 of 11003

skinny - 28 Jun 2012 08:11 - 9938 of 11003

Rude boys

thanks, cheers

Go to the top of your browser's tool bar:

Tools
Internet options
Programs
Manage add-ons

Look at 'Show: Currently loaded add-ons'

Have a look at them and make a decison about whether you can safely Disable some of the currently Enabled add-ons.
You do this using a Right Click to start with and then changing the parameter from Enable to Disable.

If there are lots of unnecessary add-ons running in the back ground your surfing will be utterly painfully slow. You should easily achieve some miraculous results by doing this.

And if you don't use IE - How to disable add-ons/extensions in your browser?

The Other Kevin - 14 Aug 2012 09:33 - 9947 of 11003

I wonder why my Stockwatch streaming page has suddenly developed a habit of producing a heavy underscore under the figures as they change, usually in the same colour of the figure but not necessarily. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

moneye - 17 Aug 2012 09:30 - 9948 of 11003

I have a level2 subscription here and use laptop or desktop at home to view. Considering an i-pad to enable tracking while on the move. Does anyone have experience of how workable that is please.
