| 620686 | 2007-12-13 00:14:00 | :rolleyes: :p OK, I suppose you threw out the receipt as well? It should have the product number on it which we can look up. ;) I'm wondering whether you got the wrong sort which Vista isn't bothered about but XP is. Can someone else confirm whether that may be the case? |

| 620688 | 2007-12-13 00:39:00 | Sounds like it is straight-through then which should be OK . Are you sure you pushed the ends of the plug in hard enough until they clicked? If the light didn't come on it tells me the connection isn't good . Try another port on the modem . If you have then I'm out of ideas and give up . :( |

The problem is so illogical, I've already come to the conclusion that it's "operator error" . There can't be a good reason why it'll connect one lappie but not the other . |

| 620690 | 2007-12-13 08:26:00 | 1) The cursor on my desktop has started disappearing on me . Just disappears for a second, then comes back . Happens about every 30secs . I initially thought it was this site, as it's slow to load anyway, but nope . . . happens everywhere now . Except Outlook . So I'm assuming it's got something to do with the pages loading, and the amount of the data?? I've tried it on some aviation pic sites, as they are loaded with pics, and then tried it on Google who's page is mostly empty . Seems to happen the same regardless of what's on the page . . . . which kindof blows my earlier assumption to the weeds! :o I've run the usual suspects, but they didn't find any nasties . So now I'm assuming it's my mouse? I don't have a spare to check . . . Problem found . Opera . Started happening on my lappie, with a different (cordless) mouse . . . . even tried a couple of mousepads . . . . so the only common denominator is Opera . Been using IE7 for the last hour, and problem hasn't happened once . So, now I know what . Just no idea why . And I'd rather use Opera than IE . |

| 620691 | 2007-12-13 23:32:00 | There are one or two others on the Opera forums with the same problem with no solution suggested . Try clearing out the cache (Tools>Delete Private Data>Details>tick everything except Wand passwords) . Also ensure you have the latest Adobe Flashplayer and Java . |
