Hi everyone, I had a window pop up on IE saying I should upgrade Java........so I did. Now I can't get in to a few sites. I have gone in to Tools/Internet Options/Security/Trusted Sites and entered the sites I want it to allow me in to but it still won't. Should I uninstall Java then install it again? Thanks for any suggestions. Marg >From the Beautiful British Columbia Cariboo Region, Canada

I'm curious what other XP users are planning to do once Windows quits issuing security updates for it. Lori Camper

Hi Lori About 18 or so months ago my desktop with XP decided it had done enough and keeled over, never to be resurrected again (RIP :-) There were no other options available with a new PC or laptop except Win 7, so I reluctantly bought a laptop with W7 It took a while to get used to its foibles, particularly the way it organises files/folders At the time you may remember the angst I went through as I posted several times about it on this list However I would say that it is better, despite my original misgivings, fact is we don't like change, particularly when we feel like its being imposed on us Apart from the fact it is a whole lot more stable that XP, there is one function that makes it better than XP and thats the search, ie it ver quickly searches and finds file/folder named as requested (yes I know you could with XP but this is a whole new ball game) I have heard many people moaning about W8 and will hold off from that until it becomes a necessity Like all "improved" versions of OS it really needs a better processor and more RAM than XP would, so I wouldn't waste my time upgrading an older XP machine to W7 or W8 but would spend the money better on a complete new machine which is likely to be money better spent IMHO I did not want to move from XP but having done so am glad I did and got used to it The King is dead, long live the King <g> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18/01/2014 19:41, Lori Camper wrote: > I'm curious what other XP users are planning to do once Windows quits issuing security updates for it. > > Lori Camper
