Hi icon_smile.gif ..

Quick question missy...what screen res are you runnin as you should not need to scroll left and right....if you have a 17" screen you should be on 1024*768...normally....this would stop the need to scroll left and right or it should....
Sadly sponsored links are the norm now on google....they come up on the right hand side normally tho....
I see you use Internet explorer.....I do keep harping on about Firefox on this thread but it is far better icon_smile.gif
Also if you do use Firefox there are several free extensions you can get for it (well there's loads actually) and if you are determined to bomb the adds you can get one called "adblock"...am goin to try this on mine tomorrow icon_smile.gif no time now am cooking dinner icon_smile.gif...

Cheers Gary xxx


Truth is anything is better than Internet Explorer. I used to have all sorts of problems with it, and still do as a web designer, but I find the web experience from most of the other browsers, including Firefox, much better.

Hi icon_smile.gif ..
Was this workin originally? Have you changed anything recently or started using a phone extension or something? You need to remove everything and just plug one filter and the pc in...and try to narrow down the prob....if you are sure all your kit is workin then maybe the fault is at the exchange and could be your isps responsability....very hard to fix via this forum and not hands on so to speak....Hope you sort it soon...
been like this from day one did every thing wot ya said above and they sent out a new box and was still the same
tks for the help

Awwww, Winchy icon_redface.gif Sorry! How embarrassing... I took mine to the IT dudes at work and it was fine!?! icon_eek.gif Dunno whether it was just being temperamental with me, cos everything appeared ok, looked at the device manager thingies like Gary suggested... I was sooooo embarrased!! icon_lol.gif

Hope it gets fixed. xxxx

Eating a Fab lolly- why? dunno.gif

Seriously, it was working last night when I was, erm, here. Then I remember muting it when I was playing poker.

Just un-muted it and nothing- nada-zilch icon_confused.gif

Yup, I've checked the mixer, but not seen if it works through headphones yet- will give it a go, TY.

Nola- don't panic, the crabs you gave me were much worse icon_lol.gif

Hi icon_smile.gif...
Yes absolutely all you need is a little usb wireless reciever for your pc....we have a cable modem and router not physically connected to any pc.....its in a cupboard out the way.....only time i ever physically connect it is to alter the settings on the router.....dont forget to get your security on the router.....dont let all your neighbours use it icon_smile.gif....
