We do not have LINE based Broadband, we have it through a Satellite dish. So what we have connected to the Satellite is described as a Modem by the company which supplied the equipment. It does not have Wireless capability. We could have had a Router, but since we only have one machine there was...

Good evening Daisees and thank you my friend,I will take that on board

If it's a phone call and you pick up the phone tell them to write to you. And if you've got 'caller display' and it can't show the number just let it ring out. If an email ignore it and don't even open it, as if it's genuine they'll write.

Did she say "breadmaker" and not breadwinner??

The package was reduced as there was no room for those levels of speed in our area. Trouble is that people think that because they say London can get this everywhere can, not so business money grabbing types. Now we have reduced the size of all the package we are getting better running in all of...

We've had 2 laptops die in the past 5 weeks, so now have 2 new ones with Windows 8 on, a bit of a shock at first but soon started finding my way around. At least there's my daughter's Windows 7 laptop and my XP netbook if I hanker for retro. I have been considering downloading some free...

I think BT call their fibre optic system 'Infinity'. You can check your speed with BT as well and it will tell you if you can get Infinity. I'm with BT and, fortunately, don't get any drop out and I'm at the end of their line. so I'm as far as can be from the exchange. I've just checked...

If you hover over the original link and look at the address it isn't a genuine Hotmail one. The easiest way to check messages such as the above is to use another email account and send an email to the one that's "suspended". Alternatively just send one from the "suspended" account to another one...

Cheers Mowgley and Aesculus , I'll give it a go

One thing you could try quite safely is to download and instal Firefox and try that as your internet browser. If it doesn't solve the problem you've nothing to loose as you'll still be able to revert to IE or Chrome (ugh!)

Depends on whether it's a pirate copy or not!

I'd hope users are doing this anyway as the ad revenue really does help

For those of you like me without one of the newer smart-phones fear not. If you want to have play, speech recognition is also starting to appear on some regular Internet websites like this one where your voice controls a search of YouTube, video selection and handles the play / stop buttons. ...

Oh, did a quick search for insurance and these popped up - apologies if they've already been looked at by you.

NoSquint will remember the settings for an individual page which is very useful.

You're welcome

Don't know about any problem getting logged on but the site had a little problem with not being able to upload a photo using the 'Upload a File' tab - but that was solved within 24 hours.

All it is something that we are all guilty of, doing something without realising it and then cursing because we forgot. I had thought I had e mailed a family member and waited for the response only to realise it was still in my drafts folder.

If you have broadband at home, check over the small print again as well. People like BT give you free connection to other peoples wifi via a system called BTopenzone as part of the package. With the aid of an app on the phone you can automatically connect to the internet when out and about if...
