Re: Problem when on websites
Hello Tom, Thanks for your advice. Will try it as soon as my internet works properly again. -Original Message- From: Tom Kingston via Talk Sent: Tuesday, February 6, 2018 3:25 PM To: peter Chin via Talk Cc: Tom Kingston Subject: Re: Problem when on websites Hi Peter, I just took another look at the address bar because, as I said, I just Alt-D, Control-C, F6. What I realized is that the cursor is always at the end of the line. Once I realized that arrowing back always works. Then I went to my GMail account and logged in. Arrowing worked there as well. Try the following in IE. Alt-T Tools. O Internet options. Shift-Tab up to the General tab and arrow over to Advanced. Tab once to Accelerated graphics. Arrow down once to Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering and press space to check it and turn it on if it's off. Tab down to the Apply button and press space. Close and reopen IE.
