Dick,
Occasionally, I too have to re-log on after I reply to a thread. I don't know why this happens. Normally, I would just log back on, and back up a page or two and re-submit the reply. This program is getting old.......

Bob, it iasn't here that I am having problems. It is on CCforum. Something is wrong with this computer, that it can't keep logged in. The other two are okay, but My problem is that I don't know enough about the operating the "beast" to know what to do. I cab build 'em, and repair, but going after problems that are within the operating end, that is "a horse of a sdifferent color".

Ed, it is that when I login, it says I have logged in successfully. Great. Then i go to a forum, and want to reply to a post. I type the message, etc, and when i hit submit, etc it says OOOps there has been a oroblem, You have to login, or you have to be a member to comment. I am a member, (or was, with nearly 500 posts), but it drops me . I fill in yjr nams and password, then type the comment, and sublit. OOOOps here we go again! It has to be the settings in, or on the computer. I have done nothing but restore the unit recently, because it was slower than frozen mollassas. Any ideas as to why this is going on?

Dick: I only have to re-login when I delete the cookies from the temporary internet files. Maybe your computer is filled up in that area and you need to delete these and re-login on the sites you normally use. That may help. A second step I would take is to delete history and check to see how many messages you have stored on your computer. These also tie up space and give you glitches. Save all images to disks and I've never done this yet, but defrag your computer. That may mke things run smoother. Just figuring out what is working in correctly on your computer because others don't have the same problem. Not that I'm a technical Wizarrd, (More of a technical morron), that is where I would start. So check your manuals on how to fix these issues and things should run better?

Coop, you say "check your manuals". Mmanuals, what manuals? There is no such animal! All I have is a pile of parts, and a screw-driver!.
Actually, this computer was completely restored about three weeks ago. It is the "emachines", by Gateway. My Generic units don't have any problems, never have. I will be getting a new MB, and 1GB of ram, along with a new CPU. Then with a new case, I'll have another inot to work with. The thing has 120GB HD, so I don't want to junk it all together. Having just restored it from CDROM's, should clear all the emails, etc but, maybe it didn't. Would they be stored, and replaced where they were?
Then the "useful parts from the "emachine" woill be utilized, and that thing will be history. I may become "history", too after iit is done, and the wife finds out! She gave it to me for Fathers day, a couple years ago.
It is another problem, but not important, the fact that it won't "give the rest of an address". for an email.

Dick: I get the out of the box versions of computers. I use the manuals as a last resort and usually find after I've tossed the computer out, they are still there and hardly used at all. I guess I'm a hands on, figure it out on my own and ask a few friends how it can be delt with. Eventually I find myself around.... well most of the time. Like I said I'm "technically challenged."

Looks like we were "Pinched from the same die", as the Canadians say. Yep, I 'have several CDROM's, and Notherboard manuals, mostly, from old inits that no longer suffer my prayers. We do wqhat we have to do, even if we have done it a dozen times before! eventually, it works.Like I said, after my Guru gets back from China, I'll get another MB, complete with 1 GB of RAM, and then launch the GENERIC, trustworthy unit! And now, back to the coins!
