  1. Hi, I am running Win 8.1 on a laptop. Previously I had 2 browsers installed - Mozilla Firefox & Google Chrome - each with an icon sitting in the taskbar. Then I found that clicking on the Google Chrome icon did not bring it up and now the icon has also vanished. Fimrefox is still working. Just before I lost the Google Chrome I lost my internet connection due to the phoneline lead coming loose in my router. I pushed it in and then found I'd lost Chrome. How do I get it back? Peter1929.
  2. Thank you for your replies. However, my new printer went wrong and I returned it under guarantee. I have purchased another, different, new one. Best wishes, Peter1929
  3. Thank you for your replies. However, on removing the labels from the cartridges I find that the tops of them are different from any other cartridges I am familiar with or have seen pictures of. Also my refill kit does not contain instructions for them. While I might risk drilling a hole in the centre of the top of the black cartridge and refilling it, I would not care to guess where the holes should go in the colour cartridge or what colour ink should go in which hole. I could not find relevant instructions in the website referred to. Can anyone please help with precise instructions for refilling Canon FINE Carts. 545 &546. Peter1929.
  4. Hi, My old printer went wrong so I have purchased a Canon Pixma MG2450 as replacement. On my old printer I refilled the ink carts. without difficulty. However, on examining those on my new printer I cannot see how to do this. They are Canon FINE 545 (black) and 546 (coliour). Can anyone please help? Best wishes, Peter1929
  5. Hi, I have a Kindle HD 8.9. Sometimes when I switch on it connects to my PlusNet router and works satisfactorily. However, at other times (and this is becoming more frequent) the screen is "taken over" by a screen inviting me to connect to BT Openzone which of course (not having a password) I cannot do. I can usually handle this by tapping "Wireless" and re-selecting my PlusNet connection. However, quite often after doing this the Kindle still does not work and in fact today it became quite unusable. Obviously, this is a very unsatisfactory situation. Also other odd things are happening such as a website going off while I am in the middle of looking at it or changing a page, and being told a website is unavailable and finding it available when I again search for it I suspect that these occurrences may be caused .by whatever is doing the hijacking which I believe may be a BTOpenzone router that has been installed nearby. Do you have any suggestions for a solution to this situation? Best wishes, PETER .
  6. On my Kindle fire HD the search engine has changed from Google to Bing without my doing anything to cause this. Can someone please tell me how/why this has happened and how I can get back to having Google as my search engine? Best wishes, PeterD
  7. Thank you, that problem is now resolved. Peter.
  8. Hi, My Kindlefire HD will not connect to the internet. I keep getting "Authentication Failed" even after entering the correct password. I thought this might be a signal strength problem so brought it upstairs to be within a yard of my router but got the same result. Can someone please help me out? Best wishes, Peter.
  9. Hi, I have recently bought a Kindle Fire HD 8.9". I am having trouble with the BBC Iplayer. The problem is that when I tap it I am informed that there is no wireless connection but this is not correct as i can surf the net without trouble and when I check the connection I am told that is OK. It may be relevant to say that recently the Iplayer did work. Peter1929
