Shockwave Daily Jigsaw puzzle

Hello all, (this is a repeat of my post at iMac CRT)

Does anyone play the Daily Jigsaw on Shockwave's site? I haven't been able to access it all month. I've reloaded Netscape, Flash, and emptied my cache. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Irene

Dear BB angel,

Reinstalled IE, made sure flash files were in the folder. Abashed to realize that I had never read the T & O. I stand corrected and still unpuzzled...

All the best,

Irene

I am really running out of ideas here. Sorry. Have you run DFA?

BTW, where were those 3 files that you couldn't find previously? Did you place them back where they are suppose to be?

I wonder if increasing the memory allocation to Internet Explorer might help. Doubtful, but it is an easy thing to try.

You can tell I am not technically minded, huh. I should leave all this stuff to the experts, like you Boomer.

Thanks BB (and Prince),

I think that I need to have a little overhaul of my iMac. All those maintenance things I've avoided in the nearly 10 years that I've had this computer--still on the original battery. However, I want to thank you for giving me such detailed instructions on things to check.

My daughter goes off to college this year, and I shall finally have time to be truly nerdy and join my local mac user group. I'm setting the puzzle aside for now.

All the best,

Irene

Have you considered renting out your daughter's room to some eligible English bachelor dude, with close connections to the Queen? I take it you have read Lady Chatterly's Lover, Irene... wink

Hehe... All The Best to you too, Boomer.

Glad to see your sense of humour is still intact.

Dear Baby Boomer and Prince,

Humpf! I mark my question as answered and return to find that the two of you are frolicking and flirting! :P

I'd like to be the go-go dancing empty nester. I'm more of the frazzled, nervous "where is my baby?" mama watching her leave. However, I am proud to say that she is the recipient of many grants and scholarships, and was accepted to ALL the colleges to which she applied 🙂

Oh, and Prince, I was married (and divorced) to a fine English gentleman. There's always room in my house for guests. It was around 90 F yesterday.

All the best,

Irene

90F degrees and Californian sunshine sounds wonderfully tempting to an Englishman from Manchester - a place that is also affectionately known as 'The Rainy City'.

sigh

Good Luck with your puzzle solving and Best Wishes from me to you and yours, Irene.

Dear Prince,

Manchester United United as far as I recall. I was last there in 1988 when I married in the little town of Westerham. If you are ever in sunny California, feel free to say hello!

All the best,

Irene

Westerham looks rather nice. Another England, from that which I am used to.

I am a fan of Manchester's less well known other team, Manchester City. We don't do nearly so well as our famous neighbours, but at least our club still has a soul.

Thank you for your very kind offer. The few Californian people I have met on the net have been amongst the most hospitable and friendly. Please feel free to drop in on me if you are ever this side of the pond. But bring an umbrella with you...

take care, Irene.

Dear Prince,

Yes, Westerham is a very lovely place. I've also visited Cambridge and Ipswich. I was on the beach at Southend on sea when they won the cup in 78!

I'm surprised you haven't met many left Coasters on the net. However, I'm always amazed at how many your little island has spread around the world.

All the best,

Irene
