Scarlet Pimple

If anyone is also having a lag in the display of text characters after completing their typing then I have to advise that that is most likely due to bug in Internet Explorer. I have been reding an I.E.8 Forum about this browser and that seems to be a real recurring problem. It happens to me occasionally but it can be frustrating over the long term. It was doing this only a few minutes ago but now is clear again. Sigh!

If the original poster (Dougal) is suggesting that the name be changed to placate the girners from the past then just forget it. Inverness Caledonian Thistle sounds great and it will be shortened anyway by almost everybody so what's the fuss? For those who have such a negative and unproductive attitude towards the present team and club and the present name, they do not deserve any consideration. Either they get with the programme or they can lag behind it in the wilderness of Scottish Football. And if they are still harbouring grudges and whatever from the merger period then what hope of them ever wising up enough to put their shoulder behind the Caley Thistle wheel? Probably it will be negligible so why waste time worrying about what they think. We should look for a practical solution first e.g. reduce the prices by five pounds a ticket and ensure that the product on the park is of a continually high standard and encourage the team to attack first and formost. Customers want entertainment and thrills and spills not negative, defensive football. ICT have the players now to attack so we should encourage their drive, enthusiasm, energy and flair. Adopting Craig Levein's tactic of putting up the fortress walls will never succeed in attracting anyone. It's an open and shut case almost. Why pay good money to be bored? At least it is worth a try is it not?

All noted and I will send these comments on to my friends. And I will ask for a response from them , taking into account your advice and information. Would the fact that this is an 85MB file be the reason why the video takes it's time to load up and start? Many thanks S.

Caley D --refer to your post of 29 September 2010. Same difference then?

Referring to the weekly highlights offered on the main site, I have been sending them on to a friend in Inverness and an ex-goalie here in Richmond, B.C. (a suburb of Vancouver which is now famous for having the largest Chinese populationin the lower Mainland of Western Canada). They are telling me that they cannot get the video to run after clicking on "wmv". Can anyone suggest reason(s) why this is happening? I sometimes find a delay in the start-up and, often, a mid highlight longish delay where everything stops but will start again if you have the patience to wait.But mine runs quite well apart from an odd flutter and stutter, which, incidentally, never happend when our photographer fan was doing the highlights so.....? Hoping Scotty or CaleyD can offer something.? Thank you .

Caley D. When you say you are testing MSE , are you referring to the Windows Essentials Package ?

Agree with Caley Mad in Berks and Scotty. It's past time to be positive and to wish him well.!!

Mantis--you are young at heart then? Wheeeee! Me too. (wink) These are brilliant ....eh? LOL

Yogi-straight as a die. Good luck, you honest man you.

Because I did not know it was free and ,a s I recall, it runs some stuff which I have already covered and don't think I need to install .

Yes Scotty _ I think I may have to get the VPN myself. Missed the first half due to no sound from the BBC. Good win it seems. Importantly the team was solid andgot a well- earned victory. Over 6,000 fans at the game. Great crowd really That will help the coffers and th support will give the team a lift.

Scotty Cannot play the links you mention because I am informed that the "media cannot play in your territory"--i.e overseas. Usual crap! But whee!!! the Open All Mics is back ondespite the fact that, yes, it has been "choppy" sound. However it has settled down and is fine now.

Crown Jaggie you ARE talented ....but how do you listen to "no sound"?

What is the email address of the Sportsound site and I will send them a message. Anyone know? Thanks

So there is nothing wrong with my compouter you think? Fer heaven's sake!!!!!

I can't get Open All Mics torun. It opens on the page and I am looking at the arrows going round and round but no sound. Anybody else see the same thing?

I agree that much of the banter of years ago has gone the way of the DODO. But that is all IHE's fault 'cos he built the HMS Sneck to ride the waves vaingloriously and after only one season on the high seas he allowed it to start rotting in dry dock and the valient crew scattered to the four winds whilst (word has it) he lay in the scuppers overcome by the constant fumes of Johnny Walker, Johhny Haig and Johnny Come Lightly. Now the doughty crew members could not be found and most have signed on with very adversarial pirate vessels which are amassing a fortune. When , oh when, will the valiant Captain IHE come back to rescue his ship from the knackers yard to once again delight the cheering supporters and restart the surge of enthuiasm that used to engulf and inspire all Caley Thistle hearts. Meanwhile back at the Canadian Ranch I wish to opine that the suggestion that heads up this thread is a load of wishful baloney and , furthermore, will never come to fruity tition.

A win today against Aberdeen will be massive and set the tone for the rest of the campaign.

The reason why I could not install it had nothing to do with DEP. Nor had it anything to do with bad add-ons etc. It was just Microsoft's excuses for not allowing is to put an icon on the desktop so that we could run the programme from the desktop rather than , laboriously, having to go to their website every time I wanted to run it. Why? Because they have just brought out Windows "Essentials" which includes the Live One Care Safety Scanner and they want to make it as difficult as possile for us to run it separately . They want us to buy the whole package instead. Canyou imagine a company with the wealth of this company being so sneaky and mean? OMG. Anyway I am a Pimple and Pimples always find a way to get around stifling bureaucracy. In this case I ran it from the desktop and allowed the programme to install properly, complete it's scan and then delete the erroneous items. Thereupon I right-clicked on the webpage on my desktop, which of course now had the programme already installed (remember the issue was that it would not allow me to install it),selected "put a shortcut on the desktop" and now I can run the programme from there. Trying to find a Microsoft support rep who actually knows what you are talking about, without being transferred to other wrong support numbers countless times if you have a problem, can be a nightmare.

Born Caley--I am consumed with curiosity. What does OP mean? ODD PHELLOW? Or are you referring to me.."Old Pensioner?" Or is it the "Opera Phantom?" Or "Oprah Phinfry?" --she just had a sneeze. Or you...the opposite of an "Old Ph.rt?" Wec arev open for suggestions. It's slow on here tonight.

Chas Are you on the same frequency let alone thread? Caley D--great idea . Of course I was thinking the same thing but was waiting for the top dogs to start it Whistle . Whistle However--I WILL SETTLE FOR A REPLY ON YOUR SUCCINCT THOUGHTS; USUALLY "I WOULD NOT TOUCH IT WITH A BARGEPOLE" or " to be brutally frank, I LOVE it." -- or something like that . In desperation for a cogent reply, may the old coger ask, Don, .... If I.E.8 had chrome on the outside would you go for it and if you saw a Foxy Lady on Fire would you rush to save her with arms outstretched, a la "Heathcliff, Heathcliff, come and save me from a fate worse than death", so you could Explorer.

Scotty Thanks for your explicit explanation and comprehensive post. Caley D - try Paretologic's Anti Virus Plus --it came top of a poll in North America for best use of CPU resources and for efficiency. I used to run a couple of their programmes but quit after a row I had with their head Offic in Victoria, Vancouver Island, Canada because they would not stop billing me in U.S. dollars. They are only about 80 miles away from me!I hav enever come across tthis type of thing before.

Mostly understood, Scotty--thank you for that explicit explanation. Your tip number 3---what do you mean by "filter on CPU"and how does one accomplish what you have in mind? Start-up--I regularly review these programmes running at startup and now have them trimmed down to 3. to 5, ctmonexe and two for the Anti-virus F Secure programme, plus 2 desktop.ini which come and go but for why I dinna ken.I mean should they not be running every day I boot up the computer? I am assuming that the F Secure items should be allowed to "run at Start-up" for updating purposes. But I am also assuming that the F Secure Firewall will not need to "run at Start-up" but will be on automatically all the time? Please correct me if I am wrong. CC Cleaner is viewed by the knowledgeable Techs that I have encountered (Shaw Cable, Telus, etc) as a very efficient programme and it is free.One actually told me that that was the only Reg Cleaner that I needed..hmmmmm! It is also very fast and I have never experienced any issues with it at all. It has an access point to the Start-up menu from which you can allow, disable or delete start-up items. The Registry Cleaner that I have also found to be very reliable and stable is Max Registry Cleaner (no problems at all for years) which also has an access point to the start-up menu. Under tip 3, when you refer to "close down processes" do you mean simply end them? I thought that ending a process may be dangerous. However, my understanding is also that the next time you boot up your computer these "ended processes" come back again--is this correct? As for your "swap file" references I would not know where to start so I will wait for the next visit of my 24 year old stepson since I do not expect you to spend your valuable time, Scotty, on a detailed explanation and instructions. Vitaliy is the one that told me to put in more RAM to stop the overloading of the CPU. SIGH! Life gets challenging don' it.

Oh, by the way, when I go to IE8's Favorites list on the top left of its webpage,the 3 yellow folders that are placed there (at the top left of the list of urls) well, when I go over them with the mouse pointerit freezes or moves very slowly like a snail. To be frank,trying to open them is hopeless.....virtually cannot do it. Now I feel that is an IE8 issue. Anyone else have this amazing issue? Appreciate ANY explanation that is rational. Smile.

Glad it is not IE8 this time. In any event would you like to comment upon the preferences relating to the use of either Chrome or Firefox? Do you prefer one to the other and, if so, why? Also, I assume you would recommend ditching IE8--for me it seems as if I have had lots of issues with IE 8 after I was forced to download it?
