All Points Help Bulletin:

Just picked up a used emachine computer with Windows 7 installed. Naturally, when I downloaded Firefox, it loaded the newest version, but I’ve got a few problems that are giving me the itch.

1. My mouse wheel won’t scroll pages any longer (works in other applications and programs).
2. Can’t change the font on FR with the tools in the Options tab.
3. Posting window on FR is automatically minimized down to almost nothing.
4. Cursor is invisible.
5. Enter key doesn’t create space between paragraphs like normal.
6. Forms on some web pages (such as Yahoo and Facebook) are so small, that I can’t type in them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: All Points Help Bulletin

I just finished downloading a huge battery of automatic updates from Microsoft, and all of the issues I mentioned in my earlier post are now magically gone.

Perhaps everything in my computer needs to settle down and get meshed together. The entire works is new, and I’ve been working to configure all sorts of stuff all day.

One little problem that still seems to be hanging, is that Firefox won’t save my previous session. I’ve got to get in there and see if I set something the wrong way to.

Other than that, so far, so good (fingers crossed!)
