Does anyone ever get black screens where their internet 'windows' are open?

DU works for me but google and twitter are black.

2. NO

Just wondering have you done any recent upgrades or changes?

There could also be a memory hog running somewhere. Did you check processes on Windows Task Manager.?

Do you also run CCleaner if online for a long time? It can clear the cache really quick. You can download it free from Cnet.

I never have this with Firefox or Chrome on either my PCs or Macs.

6. You know, web browser

Internet Exploder.. I mean Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera?

You really should be using something other than Internet Exploder.. I mean explorer. It's the least secure.

I work as a tech for a local county government, and our programmers still sometimes call it "Windows 2003."

Download Firefox and/or Chrome. You will not have so many problems with web sites.
