Hey there! It's Giggler01 and I just finished reading the article by
Bettyjoe. I've had the same problem with this "Ghost". I had it for a really
long time, and then I figured out how to fix it; I don't think that it is as
uncommon as you think!
Problem #1: You're picking your nose and some of the face parts will not
load.
Solution: I solved my problem by getting rid of all of the clothes I don't
wear anymore. Then all my clothes loaded. When I get this problem, I just go to
Grandma's and donate some clothes because that solves it. I also
help out a lot of newbies by doing this and it's a lot easier to find what I
am looking for when I get changed.
This is (probably) because all the clothes that I have are like an overload
on my computer. Getting rid of the things I don't need helps the computer by
clearing out space. It doesn't have to look for so many images anymore and
therefore it's a lot easier on the computer.
Problem #2: Whyville Square won't load correctly. You see a lot of the same
buildings, not necessarily in the same place, and if you run over a speech
bubble it will stay up and not disappear.
Solution: Try to close down your internet. If it is not responding and it
won't close, try pressing Ctrl, Alt and Delete at the same time. A small
window should pop up. Select Internet Explorer and then press End Task. Wait
a short period of time, and then see if the problem has been fixed. If it
has not, restart your computer.
I hope this helps people. The truth is that even though Whyville is really
great, it's also really hard on your computer, because of the java applets. I
know it won't work on some people's computers at all.
So even though there wasn't really a ghost, it would be really cool if there
was one in Whyville! It could take a small amount of clams or an article of
clothes from people and give them to Grandma or another person. That would
solve a lot of clam begging, wouldn't you think?
Well, that's it for now. I'm out; this is Giggler01 failing to babysit my
sister without making her cry.
