HELP! Computer problem! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Number 9 Dream · 08-17-2008, 03:52 PM

Hey, everyone....

I'm having an issue with viewing certain peoples' myspace pages correctly. For example, my best friend's comments are totally blanked out and I can't even read or comment on her page (and I know it's just me because my friend said she's had other people comment on her page just fine). This also happens on a few others' pages as well (not all). I know it is an issue with my lap-top because I can view it just fine on my Grandma's desktop computer. The best way I can describe it is part of their page is hidden or blanked out and I can't even see the links for commenting (and I can't even see comments left by others).

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

what browser are you using? - try viewing the same page in a different one, you probably are having a plugin problem.

you can test individual plugins with the links on this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_plugins

once we know what plugin(s) aren't working, you can download and install an updated version.

you should probably start with the Java, Flash, Quicktime, and Windows Media Player plugins.

You are right--it must be a plug-in problem....I can now view it on Firefox. I will try downloading the new plug-ins.

Thanks so much, Roby!!
