Technology part two

Remember how I've had to cart my kids somewhere else to do their schoolwork because my computer is being a pain? Well, now I don't have to go anywhere. But I don't have a new computer yet. I haven't tried anything new recently to fix whatever problem is ailing my computer but I have been trying to get on the kid's school pages every time I go online. I checked it this past Saturday and ~holy cow!~ it worked! I do not have any idea why it suddenly works after not working for nearly a month. But I am glad. Of course, my computer is reminding me that it needs to retire because the school pages are still not as they should be. There are still elements missing from the pages. Words are missing from the link buttons (the links work, though), words are missing from the "progress" page, which has a bar graph to show progress in each subject. The bars are there but absolutely no words or numbers anywhere on the page. Random words are missing in the middle of lessons. And the pictures are all pixelated. My computer, being the stubborn thing it is, has resisted all my attempts to figure this problem out. So I am patiently waiting for my hubby to pick out a new computer for us (which had better tow the line!) and putting up with the missing elements. I shall post again to rejoice about the new computer. (which I'm sure will come with it's own set of problems since we'll be moving from Windows XP to Vista)
