    wills error.JPG I get different codes every time but this happens almost every other will I go to do. Then I have to reload the hit to fix it and do videos all over.

    Annndddd that fixes it for me too. I default to using the buttons down at the bottom and clicking those again didn't do anything before. I totally forgot about the buttons on the side. Using those I got past it. Thanks!

    So I switched laptops today. Anybody know what I should do with my old one to repurpose it? It got dropped while the charger was plugged in and now the battery wont charge so it can only be used while plugged in.

    If you turk in an area where you can accommodate a second laptop that has to remain plugged in, use it as a second screen. I got a Chromebook last week to supplement my turking. I run Overwatch and HitScraper on it. It's something that I can't imagine not having now.

    Do they both run independently or are they connected to each other somehow?

    They run independently of each other. I use the Chromebook to watch for/accept HITs and then I do them on my main laptop.

    You should install something like this on it so you don't have to use separate mice.

    Hit the purple button on the right side(inside the instruction box) twice...that's what the problem was for me.

    So does it just act like a second monitor than or what makes it different from just being another monitor?

    I could see some cheap laptops choking on running a lot of scripts. Perhaps his old one did this... But there isn't a reason to have two devices over two (or more) monitors.

    You might need to press the purple button on the right side.
