Genealogy Forum UK

I am stuck on another XP computer at moment.

When I go into the look up list which is a long list
to add a look up I can do that
but if I want to highlight the text and delete it
it jumps around

any ideas what to do pls

Marky!!! get yer butt off that couch!!!

Yes you can say couch on here

My youngest says I need a crane to get my butt off the couch Just for that I am not telling her where the chocolate biscuits are

Does the jumping occur when you highlight text anywhere else?

I would just uninstall the mouse driver and restart the PC and let it reinstall it automatically.

I'd like to try that but not sure if I dare , mine does it a lot when I'm on the forum,

It is a laptop mine
with no mouse

It only happens in edit mode on the forum
when I am editing a large list
and
only on this computer

so I cant highlight cut and paste to slot or delete
ones done.

1) Click "Start" then "Control Panel".
2) Select "Performance and Maintenance".
3) Select "System".
4) Click "Hardware" TAB.
5) Select "Device Manager".
6) Expand "Mice and other pointing devices".
7) Right click on device(s) and select "Uninstall".
Reboot the computer.

On reboot, the computer should automatically reinstall the driver(s) for the Touchpad/Mouse.

If this does not resolve the problem then

1) Click "Start" then "Control Panel".
2) Select "Printers and Other Hardware".
3) Select "Mouse"
4) Fiddle with the settings.

If it still does not work properly

1) Build Bonfire.
2) Light Bonfire.
3) Set video camera and start filming.
4) Strip naked.
5) Dance around bonfire holding computer and shout curses to Bill Gates and Microsoft.
6) Throw computer into bonfire.
7) Post video on Youtube (which might be hard if that was your only computer).

Look forward to seeing that

8. Visit the Apple shop

Posting this from my cell via one of the nice men in white coats,
as my hands are tied around my back in some kind of straight jacket

I still don't think they needed to call the police, fire brigade and ambulance
Think the ambulance was to help those traumatised by the very white large naked
female dancing round the out of control fire shouting expletives in a strong northern accent.

hey but at least I got some hits on you tube!



thanks mark not sure I am brave enuff to try that on my computer.

It won't hurt it.

Nothing will blow up and I promise your PC will love you for it.

Is that the one with propped up with 3 tins of beans, they could be jumping beans.

Right here goes if I don't appear on the forum again today you know it did not work or I messed up.
