Weird Computer Problem- any ideas?


hey,
lately if I right click to, say, copy and paste something here from the internet, none of the words appear in the right click box, unless I scroll over them - undo, cut, copy, paste, select all....
any idea what up with that??confused.gif

You can't copy anything and paste it?  Is it just happening here on the forum?

not just here on the forum, but anywhere on any web page if I want so say copy and paste things, like into an email or word doc. I am able to do it, just I have to scroll over the options in the box to get the words to appear. just when I right click to get those options to appear. Both aol and internet explorer browsers.

I did do a virus scan and came up clean. But you know it has been awhile since I shut this sucker down and let her cool off. I think I shall do that tonight.

web I am all aboot the reboot idea.biggrin.gif

If a reboot doesn't work make sure to check the settings on Uranus.

Web always tells me, if you can't figure something out you should always check Uranus. A lot of times he eagerly offers to check it for me hmm.gif

The first rule of Windoze: If it don't compute, reboot.

Yep, if it's happening like that, reboot is needed.  I know this cuz Web told me too I had to reboot.

He's never told me to check Uranus.

Bet there's been a few times when he'd have liked to though.  biggrin

JR, when it comes to you, I blame pretty much everything on Uranus.
