Paul, you could also add another disk formatted as FAT and put DOS on that. If you go for a small, old one it will only cost you a few pounds.

Paul, to solve your problem I think I'd buy a 2nd hand PC and a couple of network cards

Thanks Prodman, I've passed this on to the guy who had the original problem.
We'll see if it helps.

Felix, am keeps closing when I post a note to the BB. Get a popup "Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close" It then goes back to my home page. Has happened on both my machines this morning so not me I think. Skinny is also having a problem (see traders thread).

Paul
Many PC Bios allow you to choose which Hard Disk to boot from, worth a check

2nd HDD's are very reasonably priced at the moment

Rob, had same problem a number of times this morning, also when trying to view all messages or previous. Only seems to relate to Traders Thread. I thought it might be something to do with additions Croc has made?? but I'm no techy.

skinny - 14 Oct 2003 11:58 - 943 of 11003

Robb/Seymour - now you mention it - my problems were all related to the traders thread!

IanT(MoneyAM) - 14 Oct 2003 12:27 - 944 of 11003

Guys,

Those of you that experienced an error message when you accessed the site this morning - one quick question, do you have any kind of pop up blocker anabled - it probably isn't this, but just investigating all possibilities.

Ian

skinny - 14 Oct 2003 12:29 - 945 of 11003

Ian - no!

IanT(MoneyAM) - 14 Oct 2003 12:35 - 946 of 11003

Thanks Skinny - was a long shot :) are you back up too speed at the moment or are you still experiencing problems?

Paulismyname - 14 Oct 2003 12:35 - 947 of 11003

I will consider that Croc, could also be a secondary data back up as well as a means of running true dos programes, have an original copy of Windows 3.11 and dos 5 or 6 somewhere

skinny - 14 Oct 2003 12:37 - 948 of 11003

No its fine now - but I do get the problem every couple of days or so - I'll cut and paste next time.

Robb - 14 Oct 2003 13:01 - 949 of 11003

Ian - mine wasn't a problem with general site access, or even the BB. It just seemed to be in relation to the traders thread. If it happens again I will post details.

Regards
Rob

Thanks Robb,

we are investigating, please let me know if you encounter anything similar.

Crocodile - 14 Oct 2003 13:13 - 951 of 11003

Have a new clock applet in the traders thread header, it seems o.k. here but might cause a problem on a differebt system

Robb - 14 Oct 2003 13:46 - 952 of 11003

Just had the same problem with the traders thread a few minutes ago. Had to close down ie. It said it was creating a log - appcompat.txt - which I can't now find.

IanT(MoneyAM) - 14 Oct 2003 13:48 - 953 of 11003

Croc,

Can you remove the clock from the header for a few days as we think this may be responsible - have posted on the othe rthread but just to let you know.

Robb,

Hopefully that will clear the problem, but please let me know if it happens again once the clock has been removed?

Regards

Ian

Crocodile - 14 Oct 2003 14:13 - 954 of 11003

Done Ian
Can someone who is having the problem also test for the same problem on www.ftsedow.com
Thanks
D.

Robb - 14 Oct 2003 15:43 - 955 of 11003

Still getting the problem. Also now getting a blank page with "Done" at the bottom. It only seems to be in relation to the traders thread.

IanT(MoneyAM) - 14 Oct 2003 15:44 - 956 of 11003

Robb,

All seems to be ok with everyone else - croc has reverted to an older version of the Header.

What isp are you using?
