"Got big problems with PC. Too long to go into detail *grin*"



That was a message received from Professor Animal Chaos this morning. So it might be sometime before he is online again

Just letting you know, before you begin to worry about him

Should we call someone - PC or something.

Thank Goodness! Is he still living in his camper van on the Isle of Skye or is he renting a flat in London?

Ah thanks lil' and Prof

Lil for telling us

I may as well leave a similar message here also.

Since last night, i seem to have no email any more; not my usual one via Mozilla Thunderbird nor the hotmail emergency one. If i go to Thunderbird, there is a blank screen instead of all my email inbox. I can't get out again unless i reboot. But i can access Mozilla Firefox; hence this message. I *think* i can get MSN.

The clocks changed last night & i am deeply suspicious that this is involved. In desperation i tried to sidle in via my old Wanadoo icon, ho ho ho; snazzy message (in French) from Outlook Express..i can only assume nice Mr Gates is peeved with us abandoning his email service & is beating us with big sticks.

If any geeky type person has any bright ideas, do let me know, in words of one syllable please!

*Before you ask; nope, i don't have anti virus, firewalls or whatever, but neither do i open attachments & i delete all spam immediately.

Yes lil, good to know!

Thanks Auntie Lil

Terri, did you try accessing the hotmail address by using firefox to go to www.hotmail.com?

Bob,

A problem Terri also has, is that her PC is a mix of French and English and she only understands her own Franglais..

One of the programms has been set to parles vous la frog you have to find which one and changr the lingo setting

In google the translate setting will present the search page in ant one of 30 lingos so it will be esay to put right. what one is giving problems

I have no idea, and it appears I can't contact her to ask

You can ask later

With a bit of luck, she might get online again later.. and read in here too

Yes lets hope

Someone got computer trouble it seems,, life is finished as we know it....normally best solution is to run a System Restore

Back up has arrived
