when i hit enter to post at fr there's a delay of 5-10 seconds. i look down at the lower left hand and it says:
connecting to free republic... transferring data from tinypic.com... transferring data from johntrapp.com... transferring data fromphotobucket.com... transferring data from homepage.mac.com...
none of those are my doings.
i have 6-month-old compaq, 64, running windows xp.
i have zone alarm which routinely notifies me of children coming and going into and out of the house.
i have ad-ware and use it weekly.
i have spybot and use it weekly.
they've eliminated a lot of stuff.
do i have problem?
thanks, ken
Whoa. Who peed in your corn flakes there, little fella?
sounds like you are facing mecca when exporting !!! ;-))
I was at least partially correct. The DirecPC "Fair Use Policy" limits home users to a download "threshold" of 169mb.
Lol, why is it that Mac users have this complex about them that they must shill for OSX whenever they see a computer thread? If it were so perfect, then you wouldn't have people coming up to me and asking how to install their printers on their Macs.
I've always suspected that it's because they feel some need to justify to themselves paying for an extremely overpriced, albeit nice looking, computer.
I'm not the poster but you just made me recognize why I was having trouble last night! I didn't even think of that! Thanks!It looks like my daughter got some pudding in the shift part of the key board. I was on a site last night and all of a sudden the arrow started blinking and programs came up. I ran spybot, ad aware as I was a bit nervous. It had stopped but now the mystery of it is solved.
Yes. It appears your 'Caps Key' is broken.
