What's up with my PC ??

Postby moonbeam » Jul 30th, '12, 19:58



When I log onto my account on http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/" target="_blank on my laptop, eveything is fine.
However, when I log on on my PC, I can't see my avatar.
When I'm on my PC, there's no avatar image - just a little red cross and some writing saying "Avatar Image".
I can see other people's avatars, although some do show the red cross like mine, but that might be down to them not having an avatar. Other websites are fine - I can see my own avatar on here when I'm on my PC.
Also, I'm having difficulties on another webpage. When you hover your cursor over a link, the cursor changes to a hand, then when you click on it, it'll open up the webpage. On the website in question, there's usually a piccie of the word "go" - you click on it and it opens up a new webpage. The piccie of the word "go" has now disappeared, although the cursor still changes to a hand when you hover it over where the piccie should be. It's as if the link is still there, but there's no piccie showing. The webpage is fine on my laptop - the word "go" appears ok, I'm only having problems on my PC.

I've tried a reboot, updated, done all sorts of scans, cleared cookies, etc ..... nothing helps :(

Any ideas anyone plzz ????

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I'm using IE on both.
I'm using Windows Vista on my laptop with IE9 and windows XP on my PC with IE8 (I'm fairly sure IE9 isn't available for Windows XP).
I can't understand why things have suddenly changed, 'cos I haven't done anything drastic recently. The only thing I've done recently is install Nokia Suite onto my PC for my mobile phone.

No you are correct IE9 will not work with XP.....i won't be a snob and tell you to get Windows 7, but get Windows 7 :)

Also, could you try accessing the site via Firefox and see if it fixes the issue, if it does i'll have a look at the various settings in IE9 and see what the problem could be :)

Just for the record, I've sorted it :)
I installed firefox on my PC and had no problems whatsoever, so I decided to re-install IE8 ...... problem sorted now :)
Could anyone be more specific than saying that my IE8 was corrupt ??

There could be an issue surrounding IE8 plugins, there was a known bug a while back that caused issues with IE8 displaying certain things, could have been the fact you re-installed IE8 which ran updates/repair module etc.

God i sound so boring!!
