Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

BLNX not far enough down. Needs to drop by at least 100p yet.

Hays your the PC quack cant you help 3 monkies??????

Come on.

I dont have a clue.

I am not sure what she means?

No, I am not explaining myself very well - On the very top of my computer in the right hand corner there used to be google search which I used to type anything in I wanted to know - I used to have Halifax bank and sharedealing and Hotmail up there. Something happened and my internet stopped working it restarted and now I have MSN homepage which I have always had but the top google search box has gone with the Halifax etc., and now I have msn homepage with Bing written in a box. I don't like bing and want to go back to what it was. Rather hard to explain so I shall take it to a PC shop tomorrow, it will be fine for tonight. Thanks anyway.

Well bloody ask her.

She wont bite.

For gods sake.

Your right my bark is worse than my bite - ooops. It doesn't matter really I shall get it sorted tomorrow. Cheers

GF,


Have you tried rubbing WD forte on your knees.

Supposed to good for loosening screws and rust.

Excellent idea Fred, I used it on my squeaky front door and it worked a treat. It does what it says on the tin.

Are you using Firefox as your browser? If so, in the search box there's a little down arrow. Click that, then all the search options will come up. At the bottom it says 'manage search engines'. If you click that, then the list of options comes up. Move Google up to the top, then remove any you don't want, and click OK. That should sort it.

I am not aware that I have Firefox - I have Norton - just searched my programmes and not got Firefox. I am on Windows 7 if that is of any help. Thank you.

Monkies always bite!

Ha! ha! ha! Not this one - when a child I bit my Sister and my Father bit me and never again, I just bark now. Lesson learned at a very early age.

Hate Norton! It slows up your PC.

Somewhere in tools there is a section on default search engine. I can't help more than that at present as I am on a tablet. I haven't booted up my PC for about a week.

Was it you that lived near Quendon?

Okay Haystack thanks - just think it will be easier to go to PC shop as I am trying everything to no avail. Have a good weekend.

No Haystack I live in a little sleepy village in Lancashire. Not so sleepy it is a main road from A to B and the traffic gets worse but hey ho., there were only about 2 cars in the village when I was small.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused now! I think you're probably using Internet Explorer. Top right, click on the little cogwheel, there may be options in there that you can use, (manage add ons / search providers?) but I'm not familiar with the program so can't really help.

3m,

Windows 7 is your operating system.
Norton will be your AV software and/or your firewall.
Firefox would be your web browser (if you had it).

Those 3 things all do different jobs.

If it's not Firefox, your web browser would most likely be either Internet Explorer, Chrome or (slim chance) Opera. If you say which browser you use, somebody here will be able to tell you how to reset your default search engine for the browser you use.

Thanks you Seymour Clearly for trying to help, have done that but am seriously confused now so PC shop it is tomorrow.

hilary,

It is Internet Explorer and have Chrome installed and Google Earth - does that help? I cannot fine Firefox anywhere.

Thank you.
