Java7 update51

ketchuplover: Yes I had problems when I updated Java the other day.

crosseyed: good to know. only with update 51 or earlier versions also? I never experienced any problem with it before.

ketchuplover: I've had no problems with it. I think the "secret" is to uncheck that box that was there before completing the download. (I don't remember now what it was about). At POGO, the forums suggested unchecking that box, for less problems. I did uncheck it, and I've had zero issues. Possibly coincidence, though, I suppose. For some reason I practically never experience problems when other people do.

diogenysos: I upgraded internet explorer a few months ago and I suspect that is the cause. I have gone into some sites and they state that they don't recognise internet explorer. In this site I cannot use the smileys in rich text.

crosseyed: well, internet explorer is causing lots of trouble for decades - java usually not :-D

diogenysos: As it happens it did cause problem in another site as I was not the only person who had problems with Java in that site.

Has anyone tried a dish as their ISP? If so how did it work out for you? Would you recommend it?

Windows XP as long as I can...I'll try the library before buying a new thingamajig

I would recommend converting to linux. Zorin OS 8 is an easy distro to use as it looks like windows. Free, will run easily on older computers and faster than windows.

SL-Mark: Gracias. I'll take it under advisement.

Google must allow users to remove/edit any data an individual doesn't want exposed to the web.

ketchuplover: Thought a while aout that and am still not sure what to think. Because it feels right what you say, but I am asking myself how to handle for example books. Lets say you sold a book about chess strategy one day and twenty years later you do not agree with yourself any more. Do you have the right to make all owners of your book put it into the dustbin?

What is with newspapers and any printed item in the worlds archives?

...and so on...

Any programmers here that is familiar with BK? Those that I knew that could of been of assistance, like toedder, mctrivia & hexkid are no longer here at BK. I have some questions and maybe a deal that I could offer you if BK is sold as planned. Nothing etched in stone but I would like to know if anyone is interested in technical support.

Marshmud: I have messaged hexkid, though he is always so busy

MadMonkey: Matthew (mctrivia) hasn't been around in years. Remember his game site he developed and we played together at?. I believe it was called AI....stood for artificial intelligence if I'm correct. He lived in Canada and was a great guy. Smart as well.

Marshmud: yep, never know what happened to that site

Marshmud: Brainking sold as planned? Has that happened? Today is my first day back :D I was pretty busy with a few life changing developments, and made a conscious effort to not visit BK last year. Couldn't keep away forever though ;)

toedder: Nope. Obviously, one way communication is not enough.

OK, so everything as usual?

toedder: Yep, nothing changed.

Fencer: Im guessing thats the problem

I need help....I have XP on a desk top....I urgently need to know how to take screen shots...Only on a desk top...no smart phone here :(

Bernice: You should have a key on your keyboard normally to the right of the F12 key that says Print Screen....
Once you have pushed that button it will store a picture of whats on your screen. If i remember rightly in XP you will then have to open Paint or a similar program and Paste it into there, then you can save.
Just in case you didnt know XP is long out of date now & Microsoft do not provide any backup or support for it

MadMonkey: thanks Hun :) that worked....and yes I know about XP, I have 10 on my laptop....I just play games on the desk top anyway so it isnt a worry ;)
