Java/Flash/etc

[Guest Peter]

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

I'd think this was a video card memory issue.
