Do all of you good people regularly maintain you 'puters?
Windows wash, registry mechanic, de-frag etc. every week if not every few days. A reformat every few months too will keep your 'puter like brandnew.

Yes - I'm finding it increasingly impossible to navigate anywhere on my tree or anyone else's except by using the up and down arrows - very tedious. Even these are not working all the time. Is it just my PC? It seems fine for everything else!

Is it just me?!!

I've found over the last couple of days, that it can take ages to link to sites,menus,etc.

Let me know if any more of us are having the same problem.


(The worst offender seems to be FB..the social network site)

Cheers
