LapTop Mystery
Hey, an issue with my laptop and a mystery. I downloaded some software on my PC that allows me to calculate and display quotes for customers. I did the same on my laptop(IC Sempron AMD Athlon) and only some of the displays come up on my previews. Don't know how to resolve this.
I reinstalled the program several times, to no avail.

Any ideas on how I can get all the screens to display?

Thanks, Rick

If you provide the name of the software you downloaded, someone may be able to help you.

The software is available only to licensed agents that can access it via
a company website, and not available to the public, so I'm not sure it
would be recognizable to the public. The problem is this- one particular
screen(a preview of rates) comes up fine on the PC but not the laptop, so
I imagine it must be a setting or some type of display issue. The other
screens come up fine, except for one.

Does it use the browser to display the screens? Do you maybe have some adblocker preventing the screens?

A laptop's graphics are not as powerful as a typical desktop's. Is this display very graphic intensive? Memory intensive? Is it resolution dependent?

I'm not real computer savvy, so I cannot really answer all your questions regarding graphics, but it is basically just a grey screen bordered in blue,
that brings up a page that you might print for the customer with info and
quotes. I will, however, check the ad blocker issue. I didn't think of that
possibility. Thanks

Is it trying to load a PDF possibly in Adobe and you do have Acrobat Reader?

That didn't help. I downloaded the latest version of Acrobat, but same result.
