Thank you both for your information. I will try it later when I have sorted out another problem that has cropped up. Recently moved from Talk talk to EE but now trying to contacting them as threatened by talk talk about doisconnection fee not being paid which EE should have done. Such is life!!

Urgent help needed please. Computer OK yesterday but this morning when I open a new page in Google Chrome all I get is a page full of adverts. Can't even get into G mail. Only got on this site because it is bookmarked

What memories all this brings back. My first car was a 1932 Morris minor for which I pad the princely sum of £10. As I was trained in the RAF as an aircraft engine mechanic there was no problem in undoing four bolts ho;lding the engine in place. then I stripped it down and took it to a gargae on...

Most interesting thread - thanks
