hi there Resolved the issue after many hours of looking at menus whew!!! I had to go into View Page info and change my permissions to unblock images All sorted now! Thank you Regards Kathy x

I downloaded AVG9 using Mozilla after my problem with Internet Explorer. I then found that many web pages just would not load and that included Bird Forums and other bird sites. I was waiting so long watching an empty screen that I finally ran out of patience and had no choice but to uncheck LinkScanner on AVG9. Once I did that then things were back to normal. My ISP is Virgin and I wonder whether anybody else has had this problem. Roger

This is a great product...I just wrote a bit about under entitled Imaging data software... But Bluebird is perfect..easy to use...can include photos, can tailor the data to fit what I want and not something that I will not care to collect data on. Some birders like myself, like to keep data but not all that some of these programs have available...This program allows me to put in fields (text or checklist etc) of just the data...

Thanks KE, I do need to see at least one whole week at a time really.

Many thanks to you all for your helpful input. I will pass this on to my wife to check-out. Best Regards, Phil.

Hi Carpe_Diem Your signature seems to be showing OK: Quote: "Things cannot disappear; they can only change" J.W.

If that doesn't work closing your browser and restarts usually does the trick. D

Interesting problem, as I'm also running XP on a 4 year old desktop with 2Gigs of memory. Microsoft Security Essentials installed smoothly, into an AVG 8.5 protected system and did not hiccup when AVG 9 replaced 8.5. Speed is unchanged, but my applications are very undemanding, just Email, surfing and CD's, so maybe I cannot tell the difference.

Hi Alan, no, I didn't bother as I had already upgraded to AVG 9 when I saw MSE mentioned here. I've read on a few computer forums that there can be problems with MSE hogging all system resources - remember too that I've only half a gig of memory so I shouldn't be surprised!!! cheers Gordon
