Laptop Help Please

[2goofycampers]

Our PC fried so we have to use the laptop for a while.

Everytime I look at a thread or a post I have to refresh the page to see a new post, I didn't have to do this on the PC, is there a setting I need to change on the laptop ?

what browser are you using?

Internet Explorer

 

[AuburnJen92]

my suggestion is that you go to firefox.com and download that browser

I had compatability issues with firefox and Vista.

I don't know - but I've had a lot of compatability issues with Vista.

i love it, my computer loves me for it too...


yes, firefox runs on vista

that is because vista is too worried you might make a copy of a cd or dvd to worry about actually running the operating system

Firefox runs great on XP.

A friend's friend looked at the PC and says it needs a power supply, can someone recommend a store or online site to buy one of these at a reasonable price ?

I have used both of these sites when I built my media PC a few years back. Tigg named it the beast. and not is a good way.

I have one that I never got to use, brand new....pm me and I will give you the model number and such. I will split with you what I paid for it plus shipping.

Ok thanks, I'll have to find out which kind/one I need.

Most power supplies are the same, just be sure the wattage is the same, if not bigger, then the one you are replacing.
