Every so often, you should "flush" your temporary internet files. That normally resolves the problem. Be sure to only flush the temporary internet files, and not your cookies, or password or favourites files though!

Don - I'll be over in Cheltenham later today. If you're close by, I'm interested in doing a deal!

The sticky's a good idea, Alan. Not so sure about (b) though, as any transaction has to be all about trust.

Ken - I thought (if we're of similar ages) that you might have recalled the image of the fire crew and ambulances all lined up on the Clarkston Toll with very clear shots of the collapsed parade of shops, or the one that I recall most vividly was of a man, face blackened by ash and smoke, dragging a lady from the carnage, hands cupped around her breasts to get better leverage as he dragged her free. I think the lady later died. That was an extremely powerful image in my view. That said, I think the overwhelmingly most powerful image I ever saw in a newspaper was in B/W - the shot of the little naked Vietnamese girl screaming with the pain of napalm burning at her flesh. If ever a single image summed up the horrors of war, that has to be it!

Getting back to Mannesty's original point about his netbook, I have an Acer One with Windows XP which cant run PS Elements and other programmes because the screen resolution is too small. I think the problem relly lies with netbooks.
Ken - it could be that the drivers for your graphics card needs an update. Check out your system properties to establish the manufacturer of the card (more than likely to be Nvidia-based), then visit the manufacturer's website. Nvidia has an automated process which installs an ActiveX file that allows it to determine what version of the driver, then offers you any update that's currently available. Maybe this will allow you to explore the full potential of your screen's resolution.

In today's Daily Record online newspaper (link), they have stated a claim to have pioneered colour photography, with images of those images that were printed as far back as 1934.

The first colour images that I remember seeing in a newspaper were of the Clarkston Disaster in 1971, when I was 10 years old.

I'd love to know what other members' memories of colour photography in newsprint were.
