Iain how did you sort your keyboard problem it's been bugging me for ages?

DAV, depends slightly on what version of windows you are running but in effect your problem is that you are running your keyboard with the US character set. Go into control panel, and check under 'keyboard', 'region' or 'language'. Install the UK version and make sure you delete the US one, finally you will have to reboot.

Yes it was that:-)Bugged me for a whole day fter re-installing xp
Has anyone got Refreshie.That they could mail to me or know a web address.Lost it since i had to reformat.

For IE refresh try Yrefresher (bottom of page). It installs a toolbar in each IE window (which you can shrink to a button) so that you can refresh each window separately by pressing the button and specifying a time interval.

Please, if you use autorefreshers on MoneyAM be reasonable with your chosen refresh period for any given page...

Jon, of course, I never use anything less than one second.







LOL, just joking :-)

Hi huys,
I had a problem with connecting to D4F this am because there was a problem with the Java and I got an exception error.
Contacted D4F and they directed me to their download section and said install the latest JVM file from thier site.

I followed all of the steps, downloaded and installed the file and rebooted.
The laptop is now dead and won't reboot.

Currently using a Toshiba Satellite with Celeron 650 128Mb RAM and Windows Me.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,
TT

Edit - now fixed through perseverence and luck.

The link at the top of the main screen (Mac/PC Clinic) doesnt seem to work, I assume it should come here?

TullettJ (MoneyAM) - 22 Jul 2003 17:31 - 640 of 11003

Spaceman,

thanks for that :)

fixing now!

Sequestor - 29 Jul 2003 11:18 - 641 of 11003

Can`t access mam or hotmail via my password on broadband, just doesn`t type anything- (no not banned , well not yet,)and yet on this PC on `dial-up`. there is no problem, both PC pn win xp, and using Explorer

IanT(MoneyAM) - 29 Jul 2003 12:02 - 642 of 11003

Have spoken to Sequestor with regard to this and to clarify a little - his problem stems from the fact that on the sites he has named, when he tries to enter text, his browser does not respond and can only be shut down by using task manager.

Ian

TullettJ (MoneyAM) - 29 Jul 2003 12:12 - 643 of 11003

Sounds like the browser is having issues. I trust you have tried the reboot jobbie?

Have you tried running a system update recently?

J.

Sequestor - 29 Jul 2003 12:38 - 644 of 11003

tried everything, trying to `phone microsoft now to check on the error messages sent,probably they will answer the `phone tomorrow-if lucky.

cheers

Spaceman - 29 Jul 2003 12:56 - 645 of 11003

Sequestor, have you tried clearing browser cache? sometimes helps but not as often as it used to.

Did the browser get updated when your broadband was installed?

Do you use Windows Update? have you run it recently?

Not much help sorry....

Sequestor - 29 Jul 2003 17:51 - 646 of 11003
