    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So..

Hubby upgraded the computer to windows 7.. everything else works great


but I cannot enter chat here now..

He has already tried multiple kinds Java.. and nothing



Anyone else had this issue? or an idea of how to resolve it??



Keep in mind, He is a computer nerd for a living.. so I know it is not just me having a "brain fart"

thanks
 
Grrrrr.

For a lot of Fauna, I have to enable Compatability Mode, is there anything like that in it? Is Fauna in your Trusted Sites? Is your Trusted Sites security level set to low?

GL, for now, we'll just enjoy the quiet.

:p

HURRY BACK DAMMIT!

I should also add to try Firefox. Perhaps IE is retarded.
 
Windows 7? Isn't that still a test release? Heck, most of Microsoft's RELEASED and supposedly stable software doesn't run worth a damn, and you are using test versions? :eek: From what I have been able to determine, most people consider Windows in all it's iterations to be beta release software.....

One of my first revelations about Microsoft as a software developer was when I bought a BASIC compiler from them. The manual was hilarious. There were many MANY warnings scattered all through it stating that results were unpredictable if very strict syntax rules weren't followed. I think they must have hired programmers that never heard of error trapping in their code.

The next major milestone was in one later version of Windows where they claimed that they had finally fixed the infamous BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH. In that instance, they changed the screen color to BLUE when your system died. :rofl:
 
I'm diggin' Windows 7 so far..

I have a dual-boot setup with Vista Home Premium 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. It's been running pretty stable and smooth so far with only casual use. 7 seems to have better network handling capabilities. I consistantly get faster download and page loading speeds than I get with Vista.

I like how compatible it is with virtualization. When I boot up now it automatically takes me to Windows Boot Manager where I can choose which operating system to load. With Vista/XP dual boot I always had to enter BIOS and manually select which HDD to boot up. I partitioned off 100Gb on my Windows 7 HDD and I'm going to install Ubuntu to see how well the 3 of them interact.

Well Troi..


as a few people have recently been pointing out here.. lol

I DO have OCD..


I do NOT like change.. I get into arguments with the hubby all of the time, because he will show me something that will make whatever it is I am doing, WAY easier and faster

and I usually decline.

but why? it makes no sense NOT to he says..

cuz its not my "routine"

thats why

LOL


Over all I am really liking the windows 7.. its just a matter of getting used to where they are moving my commonly used items and such
 
I don't see it myself, but people are always telling me I have OCD, as well.
Just because I arrange my groceries in the cart a certain way, DOES THAT MAKE ME A BAD PERSON?
You should've seen me when WINDOWS 3.1 became a thing of the past...and I was working in I.T. at the time!
