Hi, I hope someone can help me, I have successfully speeded up my computer after following some excellent advice from closed, Figment, robmar0se Gunjack and others. Whilst I do not want to put all the rubbish back on to the system I would like to choose which rubbish I put back on. For example I play castle age on facebook and I can not load the heart of darkness part. Is there a way to tell the computer to load a page/site that you use frequently? scripts and all.

    What (if anything) happens when you try to load the page/game? Any error messages?

    Hi, was trying to see how to take a screen shot in the unofficial a-z guide but couldn't find how as there were no pictures coming up. When loading heart of darkness the banner appears the fast writing at the bottom of the page says loading hod then it says done and the page is blank apart from the header.

    IE or firefox?? NoScript and/or adblock enabled in FF?? Flash need to be downloaded (non-IE version for FF)

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer/

    (this page has all the versions available - pick the right one for your system)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    Thanks Tangle foot, this has cured my castle age problem and i now have pictures, I also notice that a small tool bar opens uo saying sites are blocked click for more information and im able to allow/open sites so I think this answers my question. Many thanks to you all for helping me with these 'simple to you, major to me' questions. :T:T:T

    No I dont think I did, have had a look for it and cant see any Mcafee. Do I need it? Am running Avast, windows firewall and will scan with malware bytes weekly also have a ccleaner which I will run weekly. Is this enough?

    Yup. If it's there though it should have an entry in the Start Menu; follow the link in my previous post for details.

    lol, Figment, please tell me what I am doing wrong and what I should do to put it right. Have I got too much security? I guess I really am p.i.c.n.i.c.
