Any users of Chrome & W8.1 - my tabs have all gone a turquoise colour except for the one I'm on - all very pretty but..

Blimey, you got some tabs open there skinny.,.

I don't use either of those skinny but could it be because you have opened the maximum number of tabs that you can use?

Don't forget it's 'color' and not 'colour'.....

I dont think you are limited by the amount of Tabs you can have open,not sure what could be the problem.Maybe be the problem is being caused by having so many ADV tabs open,not sure what that site would be :o)

Lol!😀

Also am a bit miffed that you aren't keeping up to speed on the progress of SYNT skinny!!! ;o)

That's not a lot BB! :-)

the 'problem' seems to have gone away.

Oh and thanks for the helpful (not) posts! :-)

Oh dear! Just in:

Microsoft pulls its August Windows update after users report crashes

Here are some notes and instructions on what to do:

It would be a good idea to print these off before attempting to do anything to your machine.

Above is the reason that I have automatic updates turned off on all our PCs and did so when I ran an IT business.

Mine crashed after the August updates and as my laptop would not allow the password box to open it was a hell of a job getting it to work. Typical Microsoft kept that quiet!

Help requested.

I have just purchased a new Epsom printer. I was able to go through the set up until the box opened to enter the router ID digits, the box would only allow the first 8 digits (there are 10 in the ID) and then it auto closed and a message came up 'setting up failed'.
Tried several times with same result.

Any idea's gratefully received.

Which particular model of Epsom printer, Greek?

I'm taking a guess and presuming you are trying to make a wireless connection?

In the meantime, there are some good instructions here which might give you some good pointers as to what might be going wrong:

Particularly see the notes on pages 3, 10 and 21

Firstly, as you are entering the ID then I presume it is a WiFi printer. Normally WiFi printers scan for existing WiFi IDs. Are you sure that you cannot make the printer scan.

Secondly, you could change the WiFi ID by configuring your router.

A remote possibility is that the printer is in another mode and it is asking for a code for a local and hoc connection where you just enter a code that your router supplies (usually numeric).

Hi Haystack,

Yes its a WiFi printer, but it will not scan for existing WiFi IDs.

The router ID is used on the Laptop, so don't want to change it as not very IT literate, but will look at if its in the wrong mode, although not sure how to check that.

ExecLine,

Its an Epson XP 312.

Will try the link later, it does look the best of those I have tried so far.

Will post result on here.

Thanks to both for getting back to me.

Regards Greek.

According to instructions online, it will scan for connection.

Hi Haystack,

Problem is this one won't or I am doing something wrong.

Will try again this evening, thanks.

Try googling set up details. There are YouTube videos for that series (310)

Still unable to sort printer out, so decided to wait till a nephew is available next week to see if he has any ideas.
In case wondering why he was not asked first, he has been abroad for quite a while and difficult to contact, but thanks again to both for trying to help.

regards Greek.
