Has anybody been having weird, or weirder than usual, goings on with their 'puter and software? Mine started out with Word. You know how the cursor sometimes has a mind of it's own and is at the top of the page when you want it at the bottom? I'm used to this and put it down to one of life's little vagaries. But the other day I noticed it was consistently landing a line ahead of where I'd place it. To get it in the right spot I'd have to aim for the line below it. Something I'd never experienced before. Luckily, it healed itself the next day. But what took it's place was even more bazaar. I couldn't open my attachments. Another first. And since I was working on edits this definitely was a conundrum. I called my computer support service and they told me several people were having this problem and it was a Yahoo issue. Say what? They were kind enough to give me a work around and also had me call Yahoo. Yahoo said to switch back to Basic at least until the problem was solved. That worked. The following day I noticed I couldn't bring Yahoo emails up on my phone. I finally figured out that because I'd had to change my password to get into Yahoo so I could flip back to Basic I needed to change it on my phone too. That at least made sense to me. But the Word and Yahoo attachment issues I found a bit disconcerting. Especially back to back like they were. Has anyone else had strange happenings on their 'puter? At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, I have wondered if someone or something is testing systems to see how to crash them. And if I sound totally out there, keep in mind, I'm a fiction writer:)
Addendum. I'm now having problems with gmail attachments.
And now back to the normal day-to-day:
