Problems with my buttons

None of my buttons work anymore.  Italics, underline, etc.  It could go back to the last change in the forum software but I'm not sure.  I used to just highlight the area I wanted treated and hit the button.  Doesn't do it now.  Am I doing something wrong?

Seems to work ok for me?

I'll look into it.

Update, works fine on my desktop, but not on my newer laptop.  Maybe a Windows 10 thing.

Still no go on my laptop.  No buttons will work including spell check.  I can preview and post and that is it.  This is on a relatively new Toshiba laptop with all the bells and whistles running windows 10.  My old windows 7 desktop does just fine.  Any of you computer guru's have a clue.  On the tech continuum if scaled 1-10, I'm about a 3, just one click ahead of Bob23.

My Toshiba laptop with Windows 10 still has unresolved problems . . .  But not like yours.  I had to hard wire my connection to the cable to stop blue screening.  It still drops the internet every couple on minutes.   I wish I and my local repair shops had the knowledge to help.

Good luck.

Yours sounds more like a router/modem compatibility problem.  I had similar problems with all my wireless devices until I changed them both out.  Problems gone.  Is it just the Toshiba or do you have problems with other wireless devices dropping the internet?

I have direct wired to the router.  All other components work fine.  I was not willing to pay a geek to come to the house to resolve the Toshiba / router problem.

In my case some were direct wired, some where not.  All had the same problems. It was Comcast's modem, my router.  I had Comcast put in a combo (no additional charge) and all is well.  Had the same problem with my MIL's equipment with Charter.  In that case we changed out both components with our own replacements.  Problem solved.
