Couple computer questions

[TNHarley]

I just got a new gateway notebook with Windows 8. Is there a reason I always have to refresh everything? Like I could click back on a post and it does not load the new ones. I have to refresh. The same with my messages. I wil get a notification, click at the top, and just my old ones are shown. I hit refresh, and they pop up

Another one. My backspace will go back once, then it stops
Any ideas?

After searching for a couple hours, I fixed my problem. It was a function key issue.. Just for future reference

Besides F5...

... you can also refresh by right-clicking on a tab...

... and choosing the reload tab option.

Well yea. I know how to refresh. My problem is why I am having to refresh. When I saw you commented, I clicked on the link and had to refresh. My post yesterday afternoon was not even there. Kinda annoying.. GEEK SQUAD!

It is definately different. Will take some getting used to.. Once that happens, I think it will be pretty good

I tried man. I couldnt get any info on Windows 8. And the info from a couple others, didn't roll well with my computer.

The problem with Linux is that not many publisher put out software that really supports making the change.

That's changing however.

I ain't going with Windows 8 until the beta test is over.

I just got a new Gateway laptop too. Don't really like Eight but guess it will get easier. Put on a regular key board and mouse, when I use it as a backup to the desktop. So far so good.

Oh, I love the thing, except for this problem. The more I get used to it, the more I don't mind it

Which browser ya usin'?...

... sounds like the auto-refresh option is turned off.

 

[TNHarley]

Hmmm... Sounds good. Looking for it now

 

[Ravi]

Yeah it sounds more like a browser issue than a W8 issue.

 

[TNHarley]

I tried to find it before I left the house.. I will pull out the manual when I get home. Maybe this will work!

They had the same issue with Windows 7. You'd think they would have fixed it by now, leave it to Microsoft to not care.
This is the fix for Win 7, should be the same for Win 8 but be careful, you will be in the registry.

Fix: Desktop does not refresh automatically in Windows 7
