    WIN 10 is great except...

    OK folks,
    My question for the enlightened out here is this: Why is it sometimes when I am posting on a forum (never had this problem here) the screen goes to black. The desk top is fine, other files open fine, just sometimes I am posting and click the mouse, say to change position in the post or whatever, and the screen goes black. The antivirus hasn't tripped on anything as far as I can tell. Am I just "fatfingering" something? I believe the phrase is

    So far the only cure is to close all tabs and start over. A real PITA when I'm working on school with 4 tabs open and doing some ham posting for a mental break and the whole thing fucks off. Not to mention I have to rewrite the effin post!

    What gives?

    Thanks, Eric

    Just started happening with me randomly with Firefox. I just figured it was a FF problem.

    OK Charles, that's something since I run FF too.

    I run FF because the corporate alternative doesn't play well with the school system (according to them). That and I like it better than IE or whatever the replacement is.

    This is a Firefox issue related to the newest version. I'm not sure how to reproduce it, but I've seen it a couple of times this week.

    Since the latest update I now cannot simply restart my machine. It will stay on the restart screen forever. I have to do a complete shut down.
