Hi there, I wonder if one of you good people would be able to solve a mystery for me please.
A couple of weeks ago I had a major laptop crash and had to restore factory settings. Since then I have had a problem with copy and paste.
Now I run a racing tipping comp here on DS and usually I post the racecards from Racing Post through copy and paste. They looked like this
NO. FORM HORSE AGE WGT TRAINER RTF% JOCKEY OR TS RPR

However since the crash when I copy and paste it looks like this
NO.

I have no idea why. I tried it on my other half's laptop and it worked fine, it is just on mine. Any ideas please ?

Yes, but which browser; Internet Explorer 7/8/9, Firefox, Chrome?
Did your browser change when you did the reinstallation?
Oh sorry, I am on IE 9. I think i was on 8
That didn't work. When I paste it it comes up like before and the Automatically Select drop down doesnt highlight
This will help establish where the problem lies.
Thank you, that has solved it. I installed Chrome and it has worked a treat.
