| 137562 | 2003-04-22 01:02:00 | One's I get my computer fixed & a new motherboard (long story they ;) ) then I will tell you what Programs crash. But before I had problems with my Win ME pc, I can go for days with out rebooting or some times I need to reboot twice or more, depends on what I am doing. |

| 137563 | 2003-04-22 01:46:00 | Running Windows XP Pro and IE 6 . 0 . I used to have lots of crashes in all programmes after my initial installation of XP Pro . Completely unpredictable, always crashed to a screen that was a solid block of colour with parallel vertical bars . Could be any colour of the rainbow - again completely unpredicable, but it seemed to prefer green . There was no pattern to which programmes were running when it crashed . XP Pro had been installed over the top of Win98SE . In an attempt to stop the crashing, I had a techie reformat my drive and do a fresh install of XP Pro . Result - no change to the crashing behaviour - if anything it was more frequent rather than less . The techie decided that my display card was at fault . It was time to upgrade the box anyway, so I installed a new mother board with sound and video on board, and the old display board was biffed . A new, larger, 7200rpm drive was installed at the same time, plus a clean install of XP Pro and all programmes . Since then (several weeks ago), I have not had a single crash in any programme . Keeps fingers crossed, throws salt over shoulder . John |

| 137564 | 2003-04-22 02:17:00 | XP Pro - Never Crashed - longest uptime that I remember 46 days IE 6 - crashed at least once every few days for no good reason that I could see Mozilla - probably once a week, again seemingly random. (must be the websites I visit ;-)) Router (running Bering firewall) - I had to reboot just last weekend for the first time in.... 5 months? the net suddenly wasnt working, I checked cables, NIC's, rang my ISP & network providers... I had such faith in the router ;-) |

Why don't you use your keyboard to close tabs? Ctrl+W will do the job . Or if you like to keep a grip on things . . . er, your mouse, all the time use Mouse Gestures - go to Help > Mouse Gestures and learn them, they are so handy . To close tabs you have two choices: Method 1: hold right button, move down then right Method 2: hold right button, move right left right And if they don't suit you, you can create your own . Don't bother abusing the Opera people, they are a great bunch and don't need that kind of thing (if you were not joking) . > Also people DO NOT download the latest java virtual > machine update from sun "j2re-1_4_1_02" because it > has just stuffed up java on my machine, and it won't > even uninstall so I can fix it .

I can get into Hotmail with Opera - just change Opera's Browser Identitification in Preferences > Network to MSIE6 and they will let you in . I don't think you have explored Opera enough yet . ;-) |

No I'm talking about -HUSHmail- :) Haven't you heard of it? Crazy . . . www . hush . com or www . cyber-rights . net you can sign up for a free 2mb account . At least you won't get junkmail from them, like hotmail who sells your email to every spammer they can find . "Hotmail is Junkmail" . Plus you get 2048bit encryption . They used to give you free 7mb accounts when I signed up but not anymore . >I don't think you have explored Opera enough yet . Maybe so . I still found it annoying though . BTW the mouse gestures thing doesn't work for me at all . . Other than that the browser is miles better than any other I've used |

| 137567 | 2003-04-22 08:14:00 | I run 98SE an older puter, rebuilt about two years ago, and I crash daily. I run IE5.5, and as soon as I try and open OE with yahoo messenger going, I am in trouble. Don't tell me to repair IE as there is no option anywhere to repair, and it won't let me reinstall. I used to have the repair option in Add/Remove, but since the rebuild, and new harddrive and motherboard, and installation of 98 over 95, guess I know what the problem is, but still haven't got quite game enough to try and reformat. So I just put up with it, knowing that sometime between 7pm when I turn it on, till around 11pm, when it gets turned back off, it is going to crash, regardless of what I do. | supergran (108) | ||
| 137568 | 2003-04-22 10:48:00 | > No I'm talking about -HUSHmail- Haven't you heard of it? Nope, never heard of it . They say you learn something new everyday . ;-) > BTW the mouse gestures thing doesn't work for me at all . . The first time you use mouse gestures Opera asks you if you wish to continue using them -- I am wondering whether you said "no" to this option accidentally? There would be something in the Preferences somewhere to enable them again I would think . I have not got Opera installed right now (don't ask . . . . ) so I cannot check for you . > Other than that the browser is miles better than any other I've used I agree . Pity I had to go and stuff mine up with my fiddling . I now have a lot of work to do to get it back how it was before . :_| |
