Hi everyone.

Could someone tell me definitively how to stop Mathematica hanging when I do a F1search for info on a keyword? Sometimes it takes me right there, sometimes not or not before hanging around a long time and bringing me something up about "dynamic evaluation" I know nothing about and telling me to turn it off whatever it is. Even when I do that it hits back next time round. It seems you can only kill off dynamic evaluation whatever that actually is on a one-off basis. Extreme cases it just sulks and says I should wait or abort.

It's driving me completely crazy. Presently I go to the website for preference to seek info. I really would be grateful for guidance here. It is really wasting my time and totally frustrating me.

If it's any help I'm using Windows somewhere around Paleolithic era.

Thanks.

Ed
