Fife Canary 0 Posted August 12, 2009 More of an IT question, but does anyone have difficulties logging in? My laptop works fine but my older PC comes up with a black shaded area over the intro page and never gives you the option of logging in.Any ideas?Cheers,Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you''re using Internet Explorer 6 or below, you''re asking for trouble really!I''d stick Firefox 3 on there, free download from mozilla.org. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Andy, I had the same thing. It''s your interwebbrowserthingy! According to the nice chaps who helped me here is what you do.Delete your browsing history etc and any shortcuts, bookmarks, favourites etc to the old site. See if that works. If it doesn''t (and mine didn''t) do the following:Don''t have the link unfortunately but if you download "google chrome" it will work on there. Only problem I''ve found is that it plays havoc with this site when you want to post anything. Solution? Well I keep a shortcut for here on Internet Explorer and a Google Chrome shortcut for Canaries Player. Bit of a pain initially, but at least it works.

First Wizard 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Everything works fine for me but I do have to press F11 to see all the controls..........pressing F11 again restores screen to normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fife Canary 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Scooby, cheers - certainly by changing to Google Chrome there is now no problem. Microsoft get it wrong again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
