It took days for all the drivers and updates to install and I have still had a problem. I think it is Firefox but can not be sure. I may just remove it and reinstall it and see if that helps. We had a sudden electrical problem caused by JCP&L and I lost my computer even with a surge protector. Now I have a backup for that...I forget what you call it but it will save my computer. I also lost my microwave convection oven....it blew out the entire electrical system. I had to buy a new one. This computer has been practically remade due to that and then windows updates got corrupt somehow on my Windows 7 and then I had to have it removed and reinstalled again. Another $550.00 ....I am on chrome now but not too good at using it. I am so used to Firefox but I honestly think that is the problem. I have had the same problem with AOL, Facebook and Paypal using Firefox.
This is just wonderful that I have been able to send two messages without a problem. I am going to try and visit some of my old forums and see what happens. Thanks for your input.
