I usually use our PC - a Packard Bell we've had a few years but it's been fine. I still have Windows 7 loaded for a couple of reasons - my insulin pump software isn't compatible with anything else (they are planning an upgrade to W10 but if they release it as quickly as pump upgrades I should expect it about 2017 I think LOL - having said that their stuff is usually bullet proof in the finish )- but anyway since I can't stay alive without the pump and having the program makes certain things easier I'd much rather keep it if poss. We both use Internet Explorer as our Browser. I don't think I care whether it's IE or something else BUT ever since they invented the Internet it's the only browser I have ever used so I really don't have a clue how to change it (if it is that that's causing it)or what might be different when you use it. Or if it would work any better, given what's happened (read on please)
Two days ago I open the internet and there were no photos on my homepage, and none of the subheadings eg Financial News, Sport etc were there - just about the top 5 inches of the screen where the 'main/red hot' type news should appear, then the page was blank down to all the stuff under the horizontal line that's normally there.
I needed to look at a map so I tried to do that - Google maps wouldn't open cos apparently I didn't have JavaScript. Tried Mappy, the RAC, viaMichelin - all exactly the same thing. Why had I lost it?
Oh just load it again. Can't - my security settings won't let it. (I haven't knowingly changed them so WTF?)
So we disable Microsoft Security Essentials or rather we try to, apparently our security settings won't let us.
Yesterday I noted I had lost access to YouTube things people were posting and the nature of stuff on the forum had changed - eg when you type eg @Gromett - a box used to appear that I had to click to sort the 'Alert' - now no box. If I click 'Like' I get another screen asking me if I'm sure I like it? where I have to clicked Yes to do it (this has happened on my other forums too)
Any sensible ideas please?
