Can't you just go into ' My Picures ' and delete it ?

Looking for some advice guys.  I have an elderly neighbour who is wanting to buy her first Pc. She intends to have NTL 1 mb broadband installed and would be using the machine for surfing, storing her pix, email and printing out stuff. It does not have to be very fast and she has a budget of £500 but this ideally would include the price of a reasonable printer. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Gordon

Over the last few days something called command line utility + MPcmdrun.exe has been trying to access the internet. I have denied permission as I am not sure what this is. Any information appreciated ?

All I could find was AspellFox, but you need Aspell directory for that.

When I upgraded to the latest Firefox, Fasterfox was not compatable. Within a couple of days it appeared fully working again. I think it automatically updated.

Hi all, I ran a trial version (heh) of Counterspy tonight and it picked up 7 spywares that none of the usual suspects ie : Ad Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, Microsoft Antispyware aka Giant,  had missed. Make what you want of this information.     Comments ?

I know you won't believe this Gordon, but I've just had an engineer out because of my lost internet connection, (turned out to be a fault in the box in the street).  but I totally forgot to ask him about the upgrade, just remembered after he was gone


That happens to me as well. In my case I think it's called a senior moment as in ~ An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.

The two elderly gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant, and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."

The other man said, "What's the name of the restaurant?"

The first man knits his brow in obvious concentration, and finally said to his companion, "Aahh, What is the name of that red flower you give to someone you love?

His friends replies, "A Carnation??"

"No. No. The other one" the man says.

His friend offers another suggestion, "The Poppy?"

"Nahhhh, growls the man. You know the one that is red and has thorns."

His friend said, "Do you mean a rose?"

"Yes, Yes that's it. Thank you!" the first man says.

He then turns toward the kitchen and yells, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"   :crazybouncy:

I'm with them and I'm just happy when I have a connection at all.

The last time I had to have an engineer out, I was without the internet for over a week, three times waited in and three times he didn't turn up.  I went absolutely ballistic and one then turned up twenty minutes later.

Since we have their telephone as well it would mean changing back to BT to go to another server, and to be honest, when it is working I'm very happy with it, no download limits and very fast.


I am in the same Catch 22 position, BB and phone for around £28 per month and I love the new no download/upload limits. I just wondered if anybody had been upgraded to the 10 mb service yet ?
