    I suggested this in my first post :) Good to hear that you have your drive back under control :)

    Hi joddle Try this "universal" driver - click here It is supposed to be compatible with Win 8 :) It may not have full functionality - but hopefully you should be able to print.

    Hi again I have seen this happen with an Anti-Virus auto-saving scans. Which AV are you using ?

    Hi Try this link - click here Put X4650 into the search box. You need to click on "Windows 7 and Windows 8 Information" if the listed drivers do not work for you. If you have Lexmark drivers installed already then these will need to be removed.

    Not as slow as most of the 15 year olds who took the test :)

    Well done - good to hear that you got there in the end :)

    Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) evaluates education systems worldwide by testing 15-year-olds in key subjects There are some sample Maths questions here: click here The UK did not fare too well at all. The % worldwide drops off dramatically after question 2 ( there are only 4 sample questions ) Have a go. Modesty forbids me from letting you know my results :)

    I have looked ............. I can't find anything at all to say ......specifically ..... that we can't :)

    With XP Pro ?? Surely not ? or is it just new to you :) I assume you are using Internet Explorer ? Do you have a Home Page set ? Open IE > Tools > Internet Options It will say there. Mine is http://www.google.co.uk/ Set this - then check again to see if "Remove" is still greyed out. You could try Resetting IE Open IE > Tools > Advanced > Reset Note - this will set IE to default settings and you will probably need to go through the set-up procedure again. The "Remove" button should be accessible now - hopefully :)

    Click Start, and then click Run. Type appwiz.cpl, and then press ENTER. In the Currently installed programs list, click Bing Bar, and then click Remove. Follow the on-screen instructions. This should do it :)

    Which Operating System are you using ? You could try Revo Uninstaller from here - click here ( you want the FREE version ) Install and run it. It will find all installed applications. If Bing is located - simply click on it and select "Delete" button from the toolbar at the top. If this doesn't do it - get back to us with your OS.

    Hi and welcome to ExTS I am sorry - I am answering a question with a few of my own first :) 1. "New Hub" ...... is this a BT Home Hub ? If so - is there a model number to identify it ? 2. Start > Run ....type in ....... devmgmt.msc ......ENTER Click the + next to Network Adapters What is listed ? Any yellow exclamation marks or red Xs ?

    Let's see what your ISP come up with. :)

    I will be keeping my XP system too :)

    The difference here is - we don't bite :) We value opinions and are mature enough to realise that in a community like this not everybody is going to agree.

    I can't emulate your problem on my machine. Try this: Open IE > Tools > Internet Options > Tabs There are options there. You could try hitting the "Restore Defaults" Not sure if this is going to help - but worth a try. You asked about IE 11 earlier. Now may be the time to try installing this. click here You need to know if your system is 32 or 64 bit. ( There is a link that explains )

    That doesn't seem very old ! What is the model number of your printer ?

    I suggested MS Essentials. As you know - this is a totally free A-V from Microsoft. If M$ are offering to supply me with a perfectly good - free - AntiVirus I, for one, am not going to turn it down. They make enough out of me anyway - I don't feel guilty in any way taking something for free from them :)
  19. KenB
    If you do decide on a free A-V then be sure to remove the other one. 2 A-Vs will cause problems on your system.

    Hi joddle I am in the same boat as you with regards to "old" printer. I have an old Epson that I can print wirelessly to from my vista laptop via my XP computer ...... but NOT from my Win8 laptop ! ( No Win 8 drivers ) The fault lies with the printer manufacturers. In my case Epson could not be bothered to upgrade the software.

    The trouble with text is ......... you cannot detect sarcasm or cynicism :)

    Hi Try this: click here Change the Preferred DNS settings to 8.8.8.8. Alternate Settings - 8.8.4.4. Ignore this from the link: Leave the Obtain the IP Address at "automatic" If you still cannot connect - change it back to the auto setting.

    Hi John It is always difficult advising members how to spend their money :) Take a look here: click here Do a few comparisons and read the reviews. Yes it will as long as the router is "n" rated - even if it isn't it should still work ..... but data transfer will be slower.

    Get back to us after you have checked the site connection from your daughter's

    I wonder why M$ are withdrawing support and suggesting we buy a new OS ???
