Posted by I feel Yellow?

every 20 seconds my curser moves to the space between Video game chat (as the title) and the line ( - ) and then Mozilla Firefox and its really annoying, any help? i don't think its a virus.

Buy a new mouse. If that doesn't work, go get Opera.

Or go back to IE, and get spyware from looking at too many warez and porn sites.

Or, do it the microsoft way: 'Format C:\'

Or, be normal and reinstall firefox.

Microwsoft has been nice, you only need to type
format C:
now, dont even need the /, which is good, especaly when you ahve to format 4 times before windows will install proberly, however ive never had a problem installing Linux, isnt that weird

heh, my BIOS' build in virus scanner stopped me from instlaling win 98 as well as slackware on my old pc :D

The "/" usually is placed after the command to initiate a switch. Despite "C:\" being easily viewable on your own computer and even in the last post, you still got it wrong and that was a simple mistake. Personally, I wouldn't trust you with formatting my machine. I've never had to format more than once to install Windows or any other Operating System, either.

You'll probably find that it will complain when you try to format your hard drive as well. It may fomat, after warning you, but this is situational from BIOS to BIOS manufacturers. Some may not even have a problem at all.

no it didn't! that's what i found fairly amusing, "no don't install that virus, just keep to slackware!"

so i had to disable it, as my old pc was fairly crap, and UNIX system aren't too great for gaming. although now i dual boot Debian/Win XP

Well then Trigger you are unlike the 10 others whos computer I have updated, built or repaired. Im no profesional but I know how to format, my latest multiformat was casused by formating all 3 of my Hard drives in my far superior custom built for me by me machine. When your CPU runs under load below your body temprature then you can call me untrustworthy.

Its probably MS's way of punishing you for not using IE. :)

I would try reinstalling Firefox.

I love Linux. I use Mandrake because I am too lazy for a lot of command line work.

Stop using crap Linux distros guys. Mandrake sucks! So does SuSe and every other big distro. Get with the program and get the faster more reliable distro. :) Ohh yeah your problem. Reinstall Firefox and if that doesn't help try using a different mouse.




Posted by Fiindil

Debian rocks! Mandrake isn';t too bad either, and Slackware is great. then again it comes down to a matter of taste/wants i suppose...




Posted by Gong

I like all the Linux distros. Mandrake is the distro I have the best luck with. Everything seems to work right out of the box. The distro I like the least is Red Hat.
