Hi,

Got a 'new' second hand pc, but for some reason cannot submit thanks on a post. Whenever I click on it, it sends me to the top of the page (does the same when i try to view who has given thanks).

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Thanks,

Lou

    Try upgrading to IE7. Unless you have specific problems with upgrading I've found it far superior to IE6 anyway. It was the reason I switched back to IE from using Firefox.

    After installation it came up with 'This installation doesnot support your current service pack version'.


    My friend gave me the pc last week...was a spare one that her brother wiped off all her stuff off first. Am I missing something I should have?

    You should be on service pack 2. If not go to windows updates to update your operating system. It's quite important from a security point of view if nothing else.
