you have a scanner tho right? or the link to the corresponding webpage for the article?

scanners isnt set up as doesnt work with xp, the last time i got it working i had to trawl the net to find hacked drivers and have since reinstalled xp and lost em. not going to go to all that trouble, can always find out which mag it was in and you could buy it

My FF seems to be fooked - it works for a few web pages then noting loads afterwards unless I restart it!

been having problems with mine too eamonn. one was down to a dodgy extension which meant i couldn't reopen firefox once shutting in down as it was still running in the background and now im getting a freezing problem which could be down to acrobat from what i read.

reinstalled etc etc last night so hopefully fixed it

acrobat always causes my FF to freeze as well...

acrobat is a pain but since I updated acrobat itself I have not had the problem anymore, even though it still slows FF down quite a bit

Firefox is really pissing me off and I'm seriosly thinking about reverting back to IE!
