    black boxes pop up on the screen
    « on: December 30, 2013, 01:43:29 PM »
    Okay, I had no idea where to post this because I have no idea what the trouble is! But this mainly happens when I'm playing a certain game, so here I am.
    I'm getting black boxes that suddenly appear on the screen. It's not the laptop itself, because I learned all I have to do is move the cursor up to the toolbar and it goes away. If I'm on facebook or filling out a form and it appears, if I drag the mouse on the pad it goes away where the actual boxes are with the words, or the posts. It doesn't all disappear unless I refresh or even open another tab and go back.
    Sometimes it's white but mostly it's black.
    Also, I can't get my firewall up! I really need to get it looked at, but my husband's income barely covers everything and I can't get a job.
    I can't understand technical stuff. I have firefox and stupid windows 8.
