Actually, I didn't realise that the configuation was for speeding up your monitor until after it was posted.

I use Internet Explorer, and there's nothing it DOESN'T allow. That's one of the reasons I don't use Firefox, because when I did, it wanted me to change my preferences every time I found a new site, unless I googled it. That was weird, too, if I found a site through Google, I could go to it, but if I bookmarked it, I couldn't, I'd have to go back to Google again. I never have that problem with IE.

And the WMP, most of the time it works fine, but sometimes it refuses to recognize that there's something there. Sometimes it does it on the same site with the same thing it played a day or two earlier. I get quite a few things in emails that sometimes work, sometimes don't. I have version 9.something, I guess it's been 'improved' a few times since my computer was built. Even so, it should work just fine instead of giving me a message saying I have to have at least v 7.0!

Hmm. I never have had this problem with Firefox. It works just exactly like IE for me, but faster. It's also more secure, with less people trying to hack into it than IE. But, that will probably change as more and more people start to use Firefox.

LR, that poor lady *The 10 YEAR CDF USER* has had "one too many downloads" if you axe me. You'll never look like her. Hopefully!

Kari, dialup is the pits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like a kid in a candy store with my new broadband speed ISP. I can go to You tube and sit half the night. And GON radio was not worth it because it kept buffering, very VERY annoying.

Looks like the computer geek squad is growing! CG has brought out the geeks in you folks!

For the most part, that's true, but not for this particular site. It's intended to be used by people with dinosaur machines and slow dialups as well as the newer faster ones. All that's supposed to be required is access to the internet. Phooey.

What baffles me is that there are also sites that have an integral thingie that checks the connection speed and will play speeches at the appropriate one so they can be heard and understood. Takes awhile for them to download, but once they do, you can hear them crystal clear. Now, if I just wanted to buy what they are selling, it would be perfect!

Weird things happen around me, especially to electronic gizmos. [Maybe some day I'll tell the story of the answering machine.] As I've said before, my techie friend who built my computer says it's always fun and a challenge to fix something for me, because the things that happen tend to be things he's never seen before and has to learn about. If fact, the only time he wasn't happy was when a brand new CD drive he'd just put in my computer quit working. He took it home to see what was wrong with it, and he got it working, sort of, until it lost it's speed control and shattered his diagnostic disk. But I reminded him that with the warrantee on the component, he should be able to get them to replace the disk, and they did. Made him happy again.
