Symptoms like very slow performance, Rubberbanding (snapping back when you try to move forwards), and errors like "Action Cancelled" when trying to log in, can indicate that a software firewall is interfering with your connection to There.

We have identified a known cause of segmentation violations and graphics corruption in the Forceware drivers from Nvidia. One common symptom of this issue is that all avatar faces will appear pastey or "gray". There is a workaround, but it is not known to work on all systems and all drivers. We have had the most success with Nvidia's driver version 56.72, and we recommend that you first try upgrading to 56.72 if it or a later driver is not already on your system. Once Forceware 56.72 or a later driver is installed, please go into Nvidia's display driver control panel: 1) Right-click on your desktop and choose Properties 2) Click on the Settings tab 3) Click on t...

Ever want to view all the results from any there search or even happening now on one page? You can with these simple address changes. Note: Previously, I had no problems just right clicking on a page and then clicking properties to be able to see the URL I am at in There. You can try this if you want, if it doesn't show a long line of text after the url, come back. Now that I've installed SP2 and the Google toolbar, I can no longer see the entire URL in the properties dialog. The fix for this is simple, install the google toolbar! It adds the option "backwards links" to your right-click menu. Copy the address in the g...

PortaZone TricksYou can do several tricks with a paz to "enhance" its use:The size drop trick: You are not limited by the size of the paz when dropping objects bigger than the paz. Start by taking out a small object and place it as close to the boundary as possible. Pick it up and take out the bigger object. Notice that the action tag on that object now has a put back option - click it. Now both the previous and the new object are placed at the same spot. Finally retrieve the small object. The extra drop trick: You can exceed the drop limit in a paz by 1, ie. a 10 drop paz can hold 11. Is actually just the trick #1 - only this time you move the first object for its final position before taking out the last object and ...
