No Windows 7 issues for me in Brave.
“...those were the days.”
You could tell the guys who were really into computers because they had a permanent “Praying Mantis” stance.
STOP the Italians!
Thanks to ShadowAce for the ping!
Windows 7 has been out of support for over a year.
Continuing to use it is just asking for trouble.
“Heck, I remember having to sacrifice goats to ensure smooth operation of my SCSI chain!”
Right on!
That Worked!!, Thank You. Still confused as to why all of a sudden it quit. But it works now! Thanks.
Problem was not you. Problem was likely a temp. setup of DNS records, somewhere, but yesterday, that temp. setup somehow changed.
For a while after the last migration of FreeRepublic.com, the old IP address of 209.157.64.200 was still involved with some of FreeRepublic.com traffic . . . but I checked yesterday, and that old IP address is no longer involved.
So, “something happened,” re DNS records, somewhere, but I am not sure, exactly.
Check your anti-virus / anti malware programs. You may need to whitelist the site. I find it annoying they will block programs I use after they do some update. I use webroot and malwarebytes.
I had a webhost named Hostpapa that actively blocked my email on key words like ‘biden is a pedophile’ or ‘parlor’. I had to complain about it to their support 3 times before they allowed the emails thru. I have since switched over to another host that does not do this called Bluehost.
My question is: why does my drive activity light just keeps running and running ?
Oldie but a Goodie:
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, “If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.”
In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.
For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single “This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation” warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask “Are you sure?” before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn the engine off.”
Should we assume that this post is through your i-phone?
I would clear your browser cache as well as your Windows Disk Cleanup.
Is your firewall causing any issues?
And don’t forget the free version of avast antivirus
There is an online site that has continuing updates for it. Cantremember name now
If it changes ed, would al, of our dns’s have just automatically changed to the new address?
Get a Mac.
He has fixed it, was a dns issue I guess
He dual boots windows and Linux. Ljnux works for him, but now windows browser does too
try clearing your DNS cache
