Have you tried clearing the cache etc Lizzie?
I use CCleaner which helps keep my laptop running smoothly. You can find it here. http://www.ccleaner.com/

I found it difficult to use the internet last week Lizzie, it was worse than the old days of dial-up.
I asked about it somewhere else and was told there'd been a fire at one of the major serves in the states, which had a knock-on effect.

The problem arose with those using Pro.boards, as the server that was knocked out by the fire affected them substantially.
At the same time a hacker bought down several games sites (ibpdownloads and all their hosting)and left them high and dry for several days. So problems galore for lots of people.

| The acronyms used make it hard to understand what anybody is talking about. I admire you for trying Icecold.
