It’s a computer/Internet question. I was checking out the http://www.sting.compaq.com site. I resisted as long as I could but my curiosity got the best of me. On there they have a way to make a short movie (more of a slideshow I think). When I tried to do that, my computer completely locked up on the browser. I mean I can open a new browser window and it works fine, just that first window has problems. Can someone explain what’s going on? Maybe take a guess? My usual technical advisor (husband) is preoccupied with other projects.
On behalf of the real techies, who should be here any minute, I’ll save them a step and ask, “What kind of computer do you have? Which browser, IE5 or Netscape?” etc. etc. etc.
Do you mean the Flash or the non-Flash entry?
If it’s the first, then there’s your problem. Macromedia Flash is a piece of software used to design very fancy animated sequences. The front page points out that you’ll need a good connection and the Flash plug-in (the add-on to your browser that will let you see the Flash movies). It wouldn’t hurt to have a recent version browser, either.
If it’s the latter page, I’ve not had any problems - it’s just a series of plain image-maps.
I hope this doesn’t sound patronising. I honestly have no idea what technical level you’re comfortable with!
Not patronizing at all. You might as well assume I know nothing. I mean, I know a little, but it’s not worth anything when something wrong happens.
I tried both the Flash and the Non-Flash. The non-Flash first. I’ve never had any problems on other sites that said they required Flash.
We have MS Internet Explorer, probably IE5. We have a PC.
Everything works fine until I actually try to create the Songline.
Okay.
I tried it, and the damn thing locked up after showing me the demo. I tried the “home” link without the demo, and nothing happened at all.
I’d guess there’s a mistake somewhere in the coding.
I just ran it with Netscape 4.7 and got 7 ‘Javascript’ errors as soon as it started. Seems that they have a coding problem like Mattk said.

Oh, alrighty then. I’ll assume that it wasn’t just something that I or my computer did.
Thank you.
