I-Spy stuck?

BigAl07 · 03-02-2008, 03:37 PM

Travis, (or any Admin/Mod)

I'm having some RS issues.

#1 I don't know why but my I-Spy is not operative. In order to get updates I have to refresh the screen and then it's minimal (not totally up to date).

#2 Some of my "formatting" tools don't work. Like when I click on the "BOLD" instead on inserting the "syntax" to BOLD something it starts up my FireFox "Bookmarks" tab to the left.

I'm sure it's something on MY end because it's not happening on my PC (use my laptop 99% of the time) and it doesn't happen on my work PC. Just wondering if there is a "Setting" I've over looked.

I've confirmed AntiVirus is up to date and scans come back clean....

Updated and scanned with Anti-Spyware programs and still no luck.

Not made any "System" or other changes recently so it's not something like that.....

Any ideas?

Windows XP Pro
1Gb Ram
80Gb HDD
FireFox 2.0.0.12 (most current)

Yes it works... but I'm "Anti-IE" so I shoot myself in the foot in that respect. I highly suspect it happened after a "MS Windows Update" on Tuesday night. Grrrrrr

working fine for me

BigAl07 · 03-03-2008, 08:46 AM

Yeah I was afraid of that! I've tested, scanned and updated everything I can think of. This happened one time before on my laptop and it "resolved" itself in a few days so maybe it will again.... ggrrrrrrr

thanks for your input

Sorry I can't help Al, I'm on Firefox and Ubuntu here and all features are working fine for me.

kathywithbirds · 03-03-2008, 09:02 AM

I'm on firefox and it's fine, on my laptop on vista.

Actually, now you mention it, troubles with teh PC started while I was on firefox... kept shutting the computer down.

BigAl07 · 03-03-2008, 09:19 AM

I'm on FireFox on my home PC and my work PC... it's something to do with my laptop and I can't seem to figure it out.. SOME computer nerd I am.. LOL!!

Kathy FireFox is so strong "security wise" I don't use IE except for Windows Updates.

There's just a setting or something off on my laptop but it only happens with a couple of things with RS. I've noticed no other "ill behavior" on any other sites. Then again I don't DO to many other sites

Dentoid · 03-03-2008, 09:26 AM

I works on my Mac and Safari!

I don't even know where my IE button is any more

Do you have Javascript enabled? Under tools, options, content.

tbittner · 03-03-2008, 09:56 AM

If firefox is so secure, then what is the reason for this?

Security Center

tbittner · 03-03-2008, 09:57 AM

I used to use firefox excuslively, but with IE 7, I've given up firefox. I really like IE 7.

BigAl07 · 03-03-2008, 10:01 AM

Not to be rude or crude but the NUMBER of "Vulnerabilities" between FF and ANYTHING from MS is so lop-sided that you'd be silly to stick with the MS products. I'm not saying that FF is the perfect solution and honestly I wish FEWER people even knew about it... it's all about the #'s.... if (and I stress IF) I were writing code to affect the most # of people with the least amount of effort I would write it for the browser that comes installed in EVERY new PC or ANY pc that has Windows installed on it (Internet Explorer). This way I get the biggest "Bang for my buck".

Now that FF is wide spread more "writers" are giving it more direct attention and exploiting it. It's still better than anything coming from Uncle Bill and his croonies

Can I interupt and ask what I-Spy is?? __________________ Stace Worried about the costs to run a Saltwater tank? Here are some tips on cutting back to keep your bills in the same range as before. Put a timer in the bathroom, the family is now only aloud to take 5 minute showers, baths are out of the question. Tv time is cut to 1 hour a night, we have to make up for all of the lights/pumps/heaters/chillers/etc. running No more lights, duct tape all light switches in the off position. If someone needs light, they can sit by the tank. Sorry bunny, I sacrificed you to help others save money!
