In my experience just having a computer lacking in specs can slow the experience down, especially with video going. I have 3 computers, 1 is a dinosaur that I don't use anymore, 1 is about +7 years old and this one is fairly newer. I noticed the +7 year old one plays video poorly, usually jerky and pausing to buffer all the time (and sometimes for minutes at a time). I attribute it to that older computer only having 256 kb of ram, where my newest one has 2 gb of ram and video plays fine on it. But yeah, Gardenweb isn't too friendly when it comes to all that, they'll load everything up. I remember when I had to use dial-up on GW, every click took like 5 minutes.

you may have too many programs running at the same time on your computer. You proply ran out of memory. Try using Control/alt/delete, and quite some of the applications by selecting it and then selecting end task. You will also notice there is another tab in that window that says processes. Click on it and see if there is a high number running on one of the programs. If there is and you do not need the program or action running end the task there to. This will free up memorhy so you can continue with yahoo. Lynn

I would not use any resolution other than the exact one that the manufcturer specified for that particular monitor, if your picture is not as you want it or your font size is not right then you need to adjust those things NOT the resolution. If you need things bigger in the font and print then you need to go into the advanced settings on the pc and change your DPI setting to a larger one. Most all monitors have button on the front for adjusting the actual picture and most have an auto button I would try doing the auto adjust to see if it will set it right that way if not then go into the individual settings there on the monitor with the buttons. Your manual should have all of those instructions. But again set the resolution for what it says in the manual for that monitor.

I love Shockwave and I really love their jigsaws. They have many kinds of games there, some are pay to play, which I don't do either, but find lots to do for free.
