baggiesfan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 our cat has walked on the laptop now the whole screen is upside down, does anyone know how to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 My cat is always doing this sort of thing and I've become quite good at fixing things that she decides are necessary changes to my laptop. However, I have been fortunate enough not to encounter this particular pleasure so I'm afraid I can't really help much. I just play with the options until it works properly again, or have you tried restarting? It fixes a multitude of kitty sins.

beef Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 our cat has walked on the laptop now the whole screen is upside down, does anyone know how to fix this? try holding control and alt at the same time then press one of the direction buttons (probably down by the sounds of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Robbie's laptop has died a death and my dad has very kindly offered to buy him a little netbook. We have seen this one here, do you think 16GB of memory is enough for Robbie to do his school work (most importantly) but also have itunes and enough memory to play games on the internet? Also we can't seem to see a CD rom on here, what do you think? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beef Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Nici - 16gb is plenty for school work. Most netbooks do not have a cdrom due to their small size. As for Itunes..majority of netbooks run linux so thats pretty much not going to happen. Thus, it is ideal for school work *edit* That link does say windows despite the picture showing a linux front end. so itunes might work after all.

Michelle Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hmm.. useful first post there! Laura, nothing has changed with the forum software, have you recently updated anything your end? I use firefox, but I've just logged in using internet explorer, and I'm not getting any messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I saved a word doc on my work computer and for some strange reason it has stuck. Everytime I want a new word doc I get the poster every time. I have to delete it before I can do any work on it. Would taking off office and putting back on again help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Have you tried opening a new document once the poster is open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may sound silly, but you aren't opening Word by inadvertently opening your saved document again, are you? Unless Word has crashed badly, and its document recover system has been activated, you shouldn't be seeing a previous piece of work every time you open it (and even then, you should only see it as file to open within the program, it shouldn't automatically open the document for you). If you are using a desktop shortcut to open Word, try opening it from the Start menu, if it opens as it should, just create a new shortcut and delete the old one.

Heather Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi Guys I am try to put a ticker into my sig. and it won't show up now if I send a PM it works fine.

Lucybird Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I don't know what it could be except that. Did you try clearing your cookies and cache? Oh I just thought, can you see other people's signatures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi Lucy I have had one for just over a year and in any forum I belong to I always have a sig of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The sig in general is working for Heather, but we can't work out why the ticker won't show properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiepiper Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The coding doesn't look right to me, there's no coding to show the image, just the link coding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) But as you can see, it works fine within a post.. I'm not sure if putting it in a sig automatically strips something out. I did wonder if the tag is disallowed, but others have used tickers before. Hmm.. saying that, is it only Mods that I've seen with tickers? I'll go check some settings in a moment. (And I was going to bed 40 mins ago! ) Added: Ok, I worked out that it was a particular permission that was set differently for the Mods. It appears to work now.
