[QUOTE="Lee, post: 31013"] Okay, I'm back at the original Veteran's Hosp. site. It appears this system's and the one right next to it is at fault for not displaying .gif images correctly. [i]Nothing wrong with your systems.[/i] I strongly believe one of the hospital patients angered the IT management when he changed this computer's settings and uploaded new a wallpaper screen saver to the hard drive that caused the librarian a headache to fix so the computer would boot up reliably. It looks like to me IT had an older(?) operating system that's still compatible with PC's, but won't run some of the newest picture data formats [b]but will [/b] at least operate the clickable buttons so that the system is usable. It's a hassle, though. I've decided not to use this computer in the future. There are others closer to my home with more speed and reliability. Just be aware not everyone has a compatible system, [b]or,[/b] has the wherewithal to pay for upgrades. Case in point: The U.S. Patent Office now requires one to sign up to be able to download patent .PDFs of their material. The Univ. of Arizona, (science-oriented college) has an agreement to do this and I have to go there to look at the Patent Office site by itself. [b]There are [/b] other sites to look at for patents, however. Upgrading or a newer operating system may be the only way to go in that case. [/QUOTE]
