Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	Often, when I am working online, all my text will disappear. It's happened here, at BSW, quite often. Not only my text will disappear, but a lots of other posts disappear, too. I have not noticed it off-line. I am pretty sure it is Vista related, but not positive. Any ideas? _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	Anno, I use both my PC and my laptop. The PC has Windows XP and the laptop has Vista. Other than some performance issues (I find Vista is faster), I don't notice any difference while here at BWS. The only thing I've noticed is the text jumping around in the edit box, but can't remember if it's just on XP or happens on Vista too because I tend not to type as much on the laptop (I can't see the keyboard very well). _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Too many bugs they haven't worked out yet. Have you gone to the Microsoft page to see if they have a "fix?" _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I have tried the research, too. We had a techie out a few months ago and while he fixed the current problem, he hinted we would both need a bit more fixing. I guess I will call him again. I like somethings about vista, but these new kinks have me frustrated. I like simplicity, and hate depending on someone geekier than me fixing silly issues such as this. And it's not just BSW, it's also my email. But since I use gmail, and that program saves my typing every 10 seconds, I don't loose as much as I do when I am here. Sigh.... _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com
