Hi Christine Just to say I use Firefox and have no problems with findmypast images I seem to recall having to manually install the plug in Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/02/2014 22:29, Christine Benson wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > Thanks for your reply.

Hi All, Due to the warning of problems on IE I have switched to Google Chrome. But when I try to display an image from Findmypast I get the window with a message "No plug-in available to display this content." It worked fine on IE. It works when I switch to the standard viewer but why won't it work with the enhanced viewer which is my default. Any help gratefully received. Christine

My 2 Cent suggestion, from years working in IT, is to use an alternate browser. Firefox and Chrome are what I use, with great success. IE is so far off my radar and has been for many, many years. For Web Designers, IE is a big issue as Microsoft has never kept to Web Standards‎. With Firefox and Chrome modern browsers, you will always be assured that you are seeing web pages at their best ‎...  Sent from my BlackBerry Z10   Original Message   From: JLA Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 6:33 PM To: computers@rootsweb.com Reply To: computers@rootsweb.com Subject: [COMPUTERS] IE 10 Exploitation FYI to protect your genealogy computers.

Hi, I am having a terrible time deleting a progam called Road_Runner Toolbar from my Programs. I click and click on it and nothing happens. I installed it today because it was always popping in front of me very annoying as I was doing something else. I have Road Runner at another address and thought maybe it might help the program but nothing has happened at my Road Runner address. Does anyone know of a way I can rid of this from my computer? Janet

Hi Donna This recently happened to me on our Windows 7 machine. After unsuccessfully trying to uninstall the program several times using the Windows Add/Remove program, I took a look at the processes running in Task Manager. After I stopped several non-essential processes I was able to go back to Add/Remove and uninstall the program. Hope this helps! Lynne "Donna F.

Wondering if you have tried to turn your computer off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on and try to delete the program. Are you using Windows XP or Windows 7? Regards, Kevin.

I did down load the Revo Uninstaller but the program I am trying to delete does not show in the programs here, only in the "Windows Add or Remove Program=control panel. Which is not working correctly for I can not delete any program. Keeps telling me to wait "until the current program is finished" there isn't a current program being deleted.
