My Screen Is A Mess

Post by skank-la » 19th Feb, '08, 02:12

Starts out OK -then when I try to move around it gives me ghosted images etc

If I relog in OK then when I try to do anything same scenario.

Any tips?

I think admin was in the process of tidying up / trying out new formats last night - saw at one stage that all of the avatars and poster info shifted to the right pane.

Btw, whoa heaps of smilies, they even spilled over downwards! [smilie=bobolatete.gif]

No idea what you are talking about. CTRL F5 to force a refresh maybe.

If it persists, take a screen copy and email to me or attach it here so I have a better idea of what the problem is.

Refresh cleans it up but everytime I move I get ghosted gray & white images -& the matrix laid over it is not correctly placed. when hit refresh cleans up quite nicely matric is correct colours come but pain in the butt to load each page twice

I am using Windows NT

I see it now. Not sure. I wonder if its because you and epy are using an OS from last century.

I rather liked NT 4. It was a lot quicker and less prone to hanging up just because one application was busy than this "new fangled' XP that I have now. Now Excel does a calc and sometime the machine locks completely - even the cursor wont move
