    Printer and printing problems

    Eric, having googled 'Works 9 won't print' it appears that this is quite a widespread problem caused by an incompatibility between Works and Windows 10.

    mw0njm - I'm a bit puzzled as to why your laptop got fried! I presume it was connected to something as I would assume if it was free standing it would be immune from lightning (unless it received a direct hit!).

    Have you tried morgancomputers.co.uk? They sell surplus and refurbished stock and I'm told they're OK although I haven't used them myself. They used to have an outlet in Brum (Five Ways I think) but now they seem to be on-line only.
