Hi Bel
I cannot explain your current problem, but I know computers can do allsorts of strange things. I sometimes find I cannot log onto TP, especially if I have read a few TP posts first without logging on. I have to close the computer down and turn it on again.
Like many carers I frequently get interrupted so what I do is first read the posts on TP. If there are any posts I want to reply to I open up my Microsoft Word word-processor programme and type out my reply. I read it through several times to make sure I have said what I want to say and not said something I might regret, (I do have some very radical ideas !). Then I copy (cut and paste) my message from the Microsoft Word word-processor and paste it into the TP reply box.
This takes longer but I find it is less stressful as I do not have to rush to get it done before the next incident occurs.
Keep up you posts.
Reading other’s concerns does make one realise that one is not alone.
Best Wishes
Clive
PS
DO GET THAT VIRUS CHECKER UPDATED. There are several free ones around that update themselves free of charge. I use AVG which I downloaded straight off the internet. (If you use AVG make sure you get the free one.)
