I looked yesterday - he logged in about 6wks ago.
He did have an exchange of 'harsh words'with Less not long before that
Another one bites the dust

I'm not denying that we have had words in the past, but do you have ANY proof that someone such as entwisi would be put off by having bad words? If so he's not the man that I know.

Royboy hasn't been on, for a week or so, could that be the result of 'bad words' and blame it on me, or is it simply that he is on holiday?

I sent him a text the other morning on my way to work to tell him a bit of the M6 he uses was closed. He replied so his is about somewhere

Or maybe entwisi and Royboy are having an affair and have run off together

Is yours like that?
I tried reinstall, system restore and several other remedies.
I thought that I would have to resort to using Internet Explorer again, and then by pure fluke-
I clicked on the maximise/minimise button at top right and it cured it

tried system restore, even that aint working

Linux is for uber geeks

Back up as in take your piccies off and whatnot as mentioned, not back up the system, my apologies, I should of explained that clearer....

Shaz, is it just Firefox, if you try IE does that work?

a couple of weeks ago chrome stopped working Neil, so i reverted back to firefox, now neither of them work

You can be trying stuff for ages and it may eventually get it up and running but trust me, start again and be more careful this time, always kkep AV up to date, make the most of windows updates and stop surfing "interesting" sites late on !!!

Or if you must then choose some decent ones !!!

I can take a look at it for you but will charge, I would have no way of knowing how much if you want it "restoring" if you want it "rebuilding" it would take a day.

I work as a Technical Consultant for the government and have done for 13yrs now, my advice is not guess work, its the quickest, most reliable way forward.
