Brace yourselves - this is complicated.

I have a series of (I reckon) related problems with internet stuff.

I can't open Restaurant City on Facebook - keeps asking me to retry.
I can't accees My Zoo on facebook at all.
On Facebook still - Behjewelled will not show the leader board (says the XML appears to be incorrect) nor does it post my (fabulous) scores to my wall.

I can't get Googlemail to send emails - and it takes ages and a number of tries just to be able to type into the main body of the email.

I can hardly ever post to Twitter, the number of letters left disappears and the Update button is always greyed out and doesn't seem to do anything but flash when I press it.

Question is - is there some file/software missing from my machine that is preventing this from working properly? It all seems to be places where I am trying to interact live with a server.

The Facebook stuff happens on another machine too - but maybe I have a profile cross-over problem? I am on Vista.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions as to cause or fix.

Oh, and this works, as does SH chat as does MSN.

i haven't tried a different keyboard coz i don't have one. it was working completely fine and seems only to be on this site. now another thing to do with this site. on my screen it's set up wrong. as in; the grey only goes down as far as the main viewing screen. when i scrole down te grey ends and and rest of the page is white. then now as i type the words flick up and down the box and don't stay where i can see them.

now if i had built the site i would know what to do as it's to do with the page set up and where it ends. but as it's an outside site i don't know how to fix it.

for some reason i am also getting alot of popups from god knows where even though the comp is set not to let them through.

without getting too techy (cos i'm not really into language geekery so i might not be entirly correct)
HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language and pretty much just used for tinterweb.
XML is Extensible Markup Language and is used for lots of things from metadata to video and audio files.
as to the solution, no idea. have you done a web search for XML problems with Fb?

There are several reasons why you cannot type properly here is a list of the ones i thought off the top of both my heads.


1. new keyboard
2. you need more RAM (link to crucial uk) as your computer is busy doing other stuff in the background.
3. be a little more patient with your computer if the above is true, and wait for it to finish what its doing.
4. turn off some of the Programs that start at Windows Start up (if you need instruction on this ask me). example:- the stuff down in the bottom right corner by the clock start with windows.
5. hmm dont know

the XML on facebook twitter, and the likes are`nt done properly for your browser 100% as web standards differ for each browser you use example:- internet explorer 6/7 and 8, i use firefox from mozzila.

Same problem here some days it may be the amount of people that are using it at the same time, and the server is trying to catch up constantly.

i only use facbook for mafiawars. if any one wants to add me to their freinds list please do with a simple text saying found you on SH

the problem could be down to drivers for the audio/mic if they wasnt loaded correctly

to check this goto bottom right and right click open volume control look for mic and adjust settings in there on line in volume control and untick mute box as there should be no tick in the box to receive input on your system

now to check if drivers are there left click on options click on properties a new page opens up

giveing you a driver name for sound now click on mic both should appear the same if they are and its still not working
you may not have the correct drivers to run them meaning you have to redownload them from the board website or supplyed disc
