First, There's no need to worry about the yellow triangle that reports errors on the page. I'll save you the explanation, but that's not a problem.
About the touchpad, it just sounds like some features of the page have been disabled for some reason. Probably just some conflict between devices, or it may just be a warning for convenience, that is, to remind you to turn on the "advanced" features before you try to do anything complicated.
About the forum...
I'm still not sure what happening for you.
Our machine and software was just tuned and is running better and faster then it has in years. It must be something else.
My first guess would be that a lot of memory is being used on your computer when you come to this forum because some of the pages are big. Here's how we can tell...
Does the hard drive (the light on the front of the computer that tells you the hard drive is working) turn on and stay on most of the time when this delay is happening?
Also, click the Start button, then click control panel, then click the "system" icon. How much memory ("KB RAM") does your computer have?
I also use Win 2000 but I normally use Firefox, but I have tested the forum (just now) with IE and it works fine. You probably have version 6.
Second guess: It could be some page scanning software related to anti-virus on your computer that is preventing the page from working correctly. Here's how we can tell....
First, what browser version are you using. To find this out, click HELP, then ABOUT INTERNET EXPLORER. This will tell you the version number.
If I were you, I would be using Firefox as your browser. It's much more secure than IE 6. It also has more features. Here is where you download it:
http://firefox.comIt may also fix the problem, if the problem has to do with IE or some kind of spyware that's been tied into IE.
I'll keep an eye on this thread and we'll see if we can get it worked out.
