    Sometimes, when I click on something here, I get that little box that pops up that says "You have performed an illegal operation". And the window closes. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes after I've been here a while.
    Do any of you get that, or is it just my weird computer?

    Question

    That's never happened to me here. I don't know what could be causing it, KrissieK.

    Huh! That's weird. It hasn't happened to me either. It sounds almost like your browser just doesn't like some of the scripts on this site. I dunno.

    I can't get to Wizard World though. I keep getting a 404 error.

    no, I don't have this here in particular, but my computer does do this from time to time. I think it has something to do with lack of memory, but I'm not sure.

    I can get to wizard, but it's painfully slow. I asked about it, and someone said it may be because of the move to a new server.

    It's basically just your computer gagging on something wink. I have no idea what it all means when it says "illegal operation"---Someone mentioned memory probs and that's basically it. Your computer is saying "Uh-uh, no way!"

    Time to upgrade! (URGH!)

    Nope. wink It simply means you should stop hacking into the forum... tongue biggrin

    Nah, seriously, I haven't a clue. I sometimes get this from the WW board (I'm just a criminal mastermind, me... wink) but other than that, haven't had this happen.

And we made a tricky video."

    It sounds like the standard Windows problems.

    It'll just shut a program down every now and then saying "This program has perfomed an illegal opperation and will be shut down."
    First time I saw that I freaked.

    I think your computer is just gagging on something...
