ADD TO FAVORITES not working

B

bilsch

I visit a webpage and click 'Favorites' and then 'Add to favorites' and
nothing happens. I am not prompted for a name for the link - nothing.
If I try by right clicking on the screen and select 'Add to favorites' -
still nothing. This problem will cause a serious impact to my computer
use if I can't get it working right again. Last night it was working
fine, now it doesn't work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
TIA. Bill S.

I have no idea why it would stop working, but what I do when something
mysteriously changes is invoke a restore point prior to the change. Then
watch it like a hawk.

There are two methods recommended by MS here;

Both of them seem to reset quite a few IE things, such as removing
add-ons and parental controls. You might like to create a restore point
before tackling them, just in case.

What browser are you using? That would be useful info for starters.
