Guest Peter Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I have just installed XP SP2 in a new computer and tried to keep downloads of other programmes to the bare minimum. I find now, that I can open most pages withour problems, like say The Times; but with the Guardian and the Daily Mail the mouse has little control and find scrolling down difficult as the pages hanga nd then jump. Could this be because I do not have Java/Flash and others installed? What is the minimum that I must allow for easy IE viewing? Thank you JB
Guest Bob I Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Re: Java/Flash/etc It could be you have a slow connection and the pages have not completely loaded as you try to move down the page. Try waiting for the page to finish loading before navigating. Peter wrote: > I have just installed XP SP2 in a new computer and tried to keep downloads > of other programmes to the bare minimum.

Guest Peter Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Re: Java/Flash/etc No, it happens every day. I open newspapers and always have the same trouble with the same newspapers. I wonder if I should download Java or anything similar needed by rthe web pages. Can you help there?

Guest Bob I Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Re: Java/Flash/etc Perhaps you can ask the folks in the internet explorer group. Since you don't mention any errors or other issues related to Windows Xp, that would be a better place to troubleshoot internet explorer issues. Peter wrote: > No, it happens every day.

If those newspapers need Flash or Java, then of course you should install them. But if that's true, I'd expect SOMETHING on the page to tell you that. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
Guest sgopus Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 RE: Java/Flash/etc I'd think this was a video card memory issue.
