Computer problems and/or advice 2014

[Hans J]

Hi all ,

I have since some days Problems with the member map ...I can see nothing ( see Picture )
After asking our Maggi she told me that the Website of SRGC is fully OK ...so it must be a Problem on my PC
Has maybe anybody the same Problem ?
Any advices are  very welcome !
Maggi told me I should look in german pages (with search machines ) but I can not find any good advices ...
I have made updates from Java and Adobe ...but this helps not...
The strange thing is that I can look the Google map from single members ...

A other Problem in this time that I can often not see older pictures :
Maggi told me on her PC the pictures are visible ...

Could this be maybe a problem after a update from Norton Antivirus ?

Thank you in advance
Hans

Get rid of Norton and download AVG,a much better system. I had trouble with Norton years ago,
since I downloaded AVG never a problem.  There is also a free version of AVG.

Thank you Michael ,

what is AVG ?

Hans,

AVG is a free antivirus program.  See http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

I use Norton Antivirus on my computer at home, and I also have a problem but with some pictures only.  Some of the member's pictures show as a red cross, (like the screenshot in your message), but some are OK, and all the plant pictures are OK.  However, my Member Map page is blank, with no map.  This started one or two weeks ago.

My computer in my office shows exactly the same problem, but we do NOT use Norton Antivirus in the office, so maybe this is not a Norton problem, but an Internet Explorer problem?

Thank you Richard ,

OK- I have found AVG .

Sometimes I have the same idea that this is a problem of the Internet Explorer ( I have IE 11)
But there are so many possibilities to adjust ...it is impossibly for me ..

I've just checked 2 computers, one with IE11 and the other with IE10. No map on either and I don't run Norton, the mystery deepens

I do have Norton and IE11. No map!

Just logged in again using Google Chrome. Still no map!

I just opened IE  - don't know what version it is-  got a member map up - almost!  But whole thing is so slow and missing so many features that I know to be there that I only ever use it for this sort of check.

So many other browsers available that are efficient and so easy to use that there are  simple alternatives for anyone having these difficulties.  Many people I know  have several loaded and use different ones  as their needs dictate. And  no, these folks are not all twenty-something whizz kids!

It's our pleasure  as the web team to provide the service - it's up to readers to access it.........

Logged in again using Firefox, and the map appeared!

The Member Map comes up with my ancient version of Safari - 4.1.3.

In all fairness, Norton has got a lot better and AVG a lot worse in the last few years.  AVG has got a lot more bloated whilst Norton has slimmed-down from its bloated state of a few years ago.

Personally I would use Kaspersky as paid-for security software or Microsoft Security Essentials if you want a free one.
