OK. Lots of people trying to help and ofc ourse all help and advice is appreciated.
However not being very IT knowledgable some of it I have to admit is beyond me.
Believe me though I have tried some of the measures but unfortunately the problem is persisiting,albiet to a lesser extent.
I changed to Opera this morning to try yet another browser and it was better until another surge well past the ding cost me yet another ball to out of bounds.
As I have said before I have cleared caches and cookies without improvement.
cknoll I did try Maxthon previously and found that while the meter surging was less every putt was going way past my usual measured putting. And I,m talking putts of 3ft which I would putt without problem were ending up some 7 or 8ft past the hole. And that was on the level. However I will give it another try as I suppose if it alleviates the meter surge problem I could overcome the need to learn new putting distances.
Obviously reluctant to admit due to expense my laptop is now 5 years old and although it has been "serviced" on a couple of occasions maybe the solution is that it,s time to invest in a new one. Sorry I can,t remember who advised me to take it to an expert and get it properly ·"cleaned" to eliminate any deep seated viruses or programmes which have not cleared using the CC cleaner and Malware.
So Thanks again to everyone who has tried to help. It,s good to know there are people out there who we don,t know but are happy to help if they can.
