When we told you to paint your screen black, we were only joking. :)

Works ok for me :fizz:

Betfair have a number of settings they like you to have when using I.E.
You could
2. Remove all cookies and internetfiles then manually type in www.betfair. -etc
this they say will reload their software bits as going through a past link or through a favorites link does not update 'stuff' on your computer.
1. Try another Web Browser

Go and have a cup of tea or something and forget it a while- it will be nowt to do with XP as I have had that for three years.

I noticed that betfair was slow in my area last night - then about midnight it speeded up again.

Silax just for your reference the 'F5' key on your keyboard is also a refresh key....... even simpler :)

I find I use the 'F5' at least twice whenever I enter the Betfair website as the font is always too large and plain for some reason, once I refresh a couple of times it goes back to how I like it, this is the only website I use that does this by the way.

Maybe its my resolution, I use 1280 x 1024
