Amazon.com: NETGEAR Stora 2-Bay 1 TB (1 x 1 TB) Network Attached Storage MS2110: Electronics

Looking at that site and reading the reviews it won't work for me in DOS 6. No internet connection on that computer & never will be.
Just had to search contrl panel to find out which ver of IE turns out mine is 8

When you come back to your pc after this time has passed. Is the screen black and it takes several seconds or minutes for the pc to come back to life?

If so I am guessing Hibernation mode in combo with crap internet explorer is causing this. I always turn it off. On XP, Vista, 7 or 8.... Whatever Doze product I am using.... It has been ages since I bothered to use XP so this video explains how to turn it off(if indeed it is on in the first place)

Don't worry about being a classed as acomputer nerd, I get called a WW1 nerd, but the laugh is on them when they need help.
The nearer it gets to 1914 - 1916 the more queries I've been getting, through Ossy Mills, Haworth Art Gallery & Accy Library

As for the other servers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Mozilla, and few more obscure ones, they all have faults that are far worse than any I've encountered on IE, so I guess I'll just have to put up with it, the passwords are easy to remember.
Thanks for your help.

What the eck is raid and does it work in DOS.
But all that has nowt to do with my original problem, why just lately I keep gettin logged off from some websites, after I've been out and left this the computer on, no settings have been changed. It doesn't happen when the computers switched off over night,

You could be having a few problems with B24/7 at the moment Walter, Booth's been tinkering with it, I struggled to get on the other day, but its okay now.

Yep I've noticed, don't know why he keeps messing with it, in all his previous twiddles I've had to get a new password, but this time I was still logged in.

You could try updating to 9. Look in windows update, you don`t have to download all the updates if you don`t want to ( I would ), just untick the ones you don`t want.

Sorry, no you can`t, not available for XP.

Its funny how AW hasn't changed (except for upgrades) since I joined 8 years ago and is still thriving and going strong, yet others have dropped of or disappeared because of constant tinkering, if it ain't broke don't fix it

A Forum is only as good as the members that support it
if we did not have good members, good posts, and good threads and great staff

we would go like a lot of other sites

Just to show you what the staff have to put up with I recently received an e-mail from someone you all know here it is :
I have taken the addresses out but here is the e-mail main message

your moderators say that i am using 2 or more names on here,let me clarify something as ALAN7554 is banned from going on here i decided to use a new name and re new my membership hence kuriburi boy but you wont let me on with that one,so i tried the resident 1963 and you said no,reason SPAMMING there is no proper reason to stop me from re applying to become a member on here, unless you do discriminate against people who live in thailand,your stupid rules are a waste of time and i will send you another virus and get you off the air for a few days,the last one worked i have many friends over here who will gladly muck your website up. I WILL BE BACK ON HERE SHORTLY UNDER A NEW NAME AND A NEW I.PP. ADDRESS HA HA HA

By the way we have never been taken down through a virus so no idea where he gets this from

cashman · 22-06-2013, 08:34

The man is in the same league as Jimmy Saville!!! This forum is Child Friendly, yet he says there is "NO Proper Reason" he cannot gain access.

Beam me up Scotty.

Mick · 22-06-2013, 08:37

Oh and another thing this e-mail was reported to the e-mail provider and they said it did not go against there code of practice.

so you can threaten and send viruses through this provider as it does not break there law

cashman · 22-06-2013, 08:41

THen the E-Mail provider is absolute rubbish n folk should avoid using people like them in my view.

Restless · 22-06-2013, 08:45

Don't know why he would want to still be a part of the site when he knows nobody wants him here.

Well there have been one or two who did hang about for a while but decided they couldn't stand it when the site Rottweiler got a grip round their neck
