I'm on my computer at work, & it's quite old. For some reason I can't slide the screen over enough to close out that Chevy Truck ad that keeps poping up. What a pain in the A**. I'm trying to respond to a thread & it sucks. I know Bla Bla I'm just being a baby. I really need a new computer here. I'll just tell the boss I need a new unit because I can't access my boat forum. That should go over nicely:D OK, done *****'n

Re: Major PITA

Just get a wide screen :D. Try hitting the restore down button, the one in the middle in the top right of the screen, that may bring the screen small enough that you can close the add. You may even try changing the screen resolution, that could bring it down some also.

Temporarily change your monitor resolution to something higher, and then you can access the X. Once you close that ad, it (supposedly) doesn't come back. Took about a week for it to go away for me.

It's just a very old junky computer at work. Everyone else in the office got new LCD screens but not the 2 salesmen.

Yeah, it is annoying, but please remember that Chebby helps pay the bill for giving us the greatest help forum in the universe.
