Subject: issue with laptop - problem solved :)

Modified by mal4inara (12. July 2021, 06:23:29)

hi all, in the past I usually use my tablet, phone or PC for accessing Brainking.

I have a laptop now, an old one but it will do what I need, hopefully. It was given to me, just had to buy a new battery.

When I have finished my move, I click on move to next game, and instead it is taking me to the main page. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I have reinstalled Chrome, as that is the browser I prefer.

This laptop is Window 8.1, could that be the problem?

Any help would be appreciated. This loads so much faster than my tablet which is 6 years old, and will be easier to play games.

PROBLEM SOLVED: well, it seems to be solved. I was using an old corded mouse, and the issue seems to be with that. I changed to my wireless mouse from the PC and didn't have any issues.

Here's to playing more easily :)

mal4inara: I would still switch to windows 10 though, if you can. Even though 8.1 is still getting security updates, it only has two years left of such. Easy to get off microsoft (I use win 10 Pro) via a free download. And if you want to go legit re licence, mine cost £3 off ebay

But as I said, only if you or someone you know, is savvy enough to do it. And back up all your data onto USB stick firstly. To be safe
