Thanks KenB. You said In the Search Box type ......msconfig ....... hit Enter Is there anything there relating to Amazon ? Nope, nothing related to amzon at all. In facf there is nothing at all there. Should there be? Is it not clearing the clip-board thingy after each use? Jim

The open-reach engineer was booked for this morning from 08:00 to 13:00. He found a couple of faults here. We were missing a filter at the main feed (it's a tangle of wires as it accomodates an emergecy thingy in case we have a fall) Also we had an old connection that was no longer needed - so that was got rid of ( yes we had two phones at one time). Having got rid of a proggy I was surprised to see a 'clip board' that I had copied from a 'print screen' of that proggy, pasted to an open office text page. It stayed no-matter what i attempted. Jim.

Thanks KenB. I could find nothing amazon related following the control board. Nothing on the programs/features either. A B.T.W. is that a USB charger for the battery of a Fuji-pix camera disconnected my wifi. I only got it this morning as well. A talk with a fault finder (I assumed my ISP was faulty) booked me an egineers slot in the morning because the line was found faulty. Aren't computers frustrating! Jim

Another splash screen irritant! It is Amazons free delivery page!!! WTF??? I have just said goodbye to one and another pops up. Jim

Hmmm! It has corrected itself? I don't know what it has done but it is ok. I just followed what was said and stopped where I got lost - so as I said , I don't know what it was. Perhaps it will come back. Thanks for all the effort. Jim.

Thanks KenB. Ok, I've got to 'name' but I do not get 'app data'. I get suck there. Jim.

KenB said If you click on "Computer" you should be able to locate C:. =============== It shows how little I retain about this doesn't it :).

Might restore do thw job? jim

Thanks KenB. Typing my computer in the search box got me control panel and a page full of proggies. No 'C' or 'user' etc. Obviously not the same version of W. Jim.

Thanks for getting back to me on this KenB, it is a pain. It took me trying all sorts on the keyboard to get that symbol but I should have read on as you anticipated it. It has not worked, it still goes into recovery mode whenever open office is required/opened. I do have a number of templates saved as spread sheets and as address headers and it opens in recovery mode every time. Jim

I've tried clipboard and nothing at all. Jim.

Hmmm, I omitted something. I copied and pasted your instrucions in note pad and it worked fine. I tried typing 'setting' in the bottom left hand corner and it showed me all about the scanner. I don't know what was wrong. Jim.

Ken B said Open Notepad [ type notepad into the search box bottom left of screen ] Type something Highlight > CTRL + C Use CTRL + V to paste. Does copy / paste work here ? I used right click and 'paste' and that worked fine. Jim

If I want to copy and paste in a document it errors (no number) and then fails to recover the document. I have tried downloading a fresh copy (scrubbed it clean of the faulty prog) but still refuses to paste and just shuts down. Jim.

It's the one I use as a search engine 'duckduckgo' Jim
