There should be an import favorites in the bookmarks section of the browser. FYI - Chrome sucks big time.

It has been recommended as more up to date than Firefox 5 (that everyone I know here has moaned about)-
The computer still freezes though (not so badly) so something else is going on 'me thinks'

Moaned about Firefox 5? Not me! Works just wonderfully!
The problem is more likely your computer Trudi.
Go get these:
Glary Repair
Glary Utilities
Spybot S & D
Run repair first then utilities and finish with Spybot. After that, restart the computer and re-run repair. This should take care of of whatever is giving you the freeze ups.
Hereafter run Repair and Spybot once a week and your computer should keep zipping along happily!

Redundant antivirus utilities will bog you down mercilessly.
Vizzy is home for the summer! PM him and get him on the skype and let him help you out. That's what he went to school for!
RE: Early morning useless post thread - LKTraz - 07-03-2011
None of them are antivirus progs. Spybot is a malware block and clean and the Glary progs aren't active but passive/user run only. Both Glarys do tune and tweak functions. They make it very easy for those who aren't literate in OS tweaking to weed out background functions and shut them off.
Run it past Vizzy and see what he thinks.
I run layered malware/spyware programs and only operate Avast for anti virus. Took me a while to sort out which ones would run together without conflicting and causing slowdowns.
RE: Early morning useless post thread - Twitchin Kitten - 07-03-2011
I know what they are LK. I was just telling Trudi that redundant programs will bog any computer down, especially antivirus programs.
RE: Early morning useless post thread - LKTraz - 07-03-2011
And I was clarifying what I was recommending so as not to confuse her.
RE: Early morning useless post thread - Rhubarb - 07-03-2011
Thanks everyone! It is running a bit better but Glary demanded money before completing a fix. That was all very well but I couldn't do it in $.
Anyway No1 son told me I have too much junk on the computer so we've cleared a load of redundant stuff.
Still a bit cagey about Firefox for the time being, although I've always been happy with it. Just all my UK contacts suggest to leave well alone for awhile. This Chrome is very clutter free too.

WOW.......
75 degrees with 91% humidity at 2:46 AM!
Can you say the 3 H's (hazy, hot and humid) for today?
I have to run to Elizabeth and then go pick up at South Plainfield and bring whatever I get there back to the plant today. Am I ever thankful for good air conditioning in my truck!!!!!!!
RE: Early morning useless post thread - Twitchin Kitten - 07-22-2011
It's over 90 here already at 9:07 AM. I'm sitting in the mechanic's waiting because they had me pick up the truck. Said it needs to be driven and let them know. They claim they can't get it to misbehave. I head out of the drive and it CLANKS and the steering is erratic. So much that it is going to break my wrist if I drive it. And he says it is not dangerous!
I call bullshit.
