Computer update

| daily misc | | Comments (2)

Well, things are better. Not perfect but definitely better. Weird things: my mouse still only works with the PS/2 connector, Firefox won't load a page in the background in a new tab (it opens the new tab and makes that the active one) (yes, it's set properly) [Thank you, jim!], Quicken seems to have forgotten I want it to check for transactions even though that's properly set up too.

I'll get a few more apps installed and back up everything. Damn computers! grin

[Additional thanks go to Brad, GreyDuck, Slip, Points and Claudia (who took me out for dinner and away from the computer)!]

And you're sure you don't have "select new tabs opened from links" checked in your advanced preferences? hmmm.... P'haps yer registry is a wee bit hosed.

I'm sorry I couldn't help more than I did. Le sigh...
