A virus is written to take advantage of Windows big flaw, running in "admin" mode. I switched about seven years ago, to a system which will not allow this. My system does not keep throwing up "error messages" either. Life is so much easier now.

Its a configuration error on the server.It could be a job for the web hosting company, or it could be down to the forum admins, depending on who set which bit up.Its a configuration error when making the forum software talk to the database, in that it can't.Either way, I don't think this...

Seems like running the diagnostic tool a couple of times has fixed it. So I don't need to waste a full day trying to call the help desk !

Cheers Dave, I will have a look at that in the morning. You have been a great help as always

I'm on BTinternet and having no problems with using Outlook - fingers crossed.

Hi Nathan try uninstalling the printer again and reinstalling it again,just to see if that changes things.

Sound advise indeed ... if you look carefully behind the chair against the wall you may spot one.. Complete with two USB powered fans. I got it mainly for my Dell which does run hot but this Acer runs a lot cooler.

Any large companies and those dealing with finance would never send an email. They would always send a letter and they would never ever ask you for your information, merely that you log in and update it yourself if the need arises - which it hardly ever does!I had a such a one supposedly from...

Sound advise indeed Steve. Thanks for posting. I was just thinking this morning with the Census coming up if there are going to be any scams attached to it. Either via internet or telephone.

I buy my ink jet cartridges from Ms (no not that Ms), but I mostly use my colour laser now. As it's 2400dpi it does a reasonable job with photo's too, the toner refills are reasonable as well. Normal text gives around 4,500 pages per set of cartridges and you don't have to use special paper for...
