dexter,
I just got fedup wilth it and smashed it up. It only cost me 25 off ebay but I decided to format the hard drive but messed it up. Doh!! Just bought a new one.
Thanks brianboru

wilbs, to recover the drive of a laptop you normally need the manufacturer supplied CD with Windows on it. That is because special drivers for the laptop hardware are needed. You're unlikely to be successful with a standard Windows disk. However the manufacturer CDs are often available on Ebay or from manufacturer support.

Thanks kayak. Its an old laptop. I bought 2 for 50. One had no battery or hd so I was gonna keep it for spares. Ive wasted too much time on it so bought a new one. Thanks anyway.

Has anyone here received an email today from a fella called David Pinnell? title something like "Improve Your Trading psychology".

It's probably just an Ad. but I don't want to open It In case It might be a virus.

Thought I'd check here 1st.

Thanks.

Stan

If in doubt delete.

MS

Yup I know Mickey but I just thought I'd check 1st...also I don't like the thought of maybe missing something.

Sooner miss something than catch something. Try scanning the email, not alway successful though.

MS

Your right Mickey, just bring It to the top In case someone else has received It before I delete.

Stan, do you use Outlook? is so you could use a small add in called Pocketknife Peek which allows you to have a look at incoming emails without openeing any of the bits than can cause trouble. Its free and you can find it here :- http://www.xintercept.com/pkpeek.htm

I'm afraid not Spaceman, I use a Mac. But thanks.

Can anyone help please, this is driving me bonkers?!

My yahoo email account has taken it upon itself to automatically block/not deliver inbound emails that I know have been correctly sent. Similarly, when I send emails from the yahoo account they either aren't delivered, or get bounced back from mailer-daemon@yahoo.com. I also replicated this on another yahoo address with the same results. Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Anyone else having trouble accessing The day's trades from companies on the portfolio lists?

Yes every time i put in a new epic code it stops. Try hitting the trades button after you put in the epic, it works for me.

Actually I meant companies on the watch list.

Seems OK today.

When i start my laptop, i always get my wifes hotmail window pop up, which i then have to close, how do i stop it popping up automatically?
Thanks.

Logon on problems again with IE. Something is causing a conflict. It either takes several minutes to logon or fails completely with IE stopped. With Mozilla logon is at the speed of light. Any suggestions, please.
