Title: Kettle Komputer Kaput.
Post by: Roger Kettle on June 01, 2008, 06:09:01 PM: The laptop has gone berserk and will be hospitalised. I'm on a borrowed one at the moment so things may be quiet for a while, although I will try to check in when possible. Be good.

Well, they can't do any worse than Roger!

Post by: The Peepmaster on June 02, 2008, 09:59:27 PM: Perhaps it's knackered?

Post by: Roger Kettle on June 04, 2008, 08:09:57 PM: Okay, the laptop is back but I'm still on another computer as I don't know how to re-start the thing and my son's gone out! Apparently, something called the "hard drive" was replaced. I have no idea how to get back to my original settings or, indeed, home page. Give me another day.

One day, you reckon?

Mincey, can you talk Roger through how to fix it please. The last effort was brilliantly funny.

Post by: Roger Kettle on June 04, 2008, 08:32:48 PM: I can't even check my emails. Maybe I've been knighted like Parky.
Title: Re: Kettle Komputer Kaput.
Post by: The Peepmaster on June 04, 2008, 08:52:42 PM: Roger - go to www.mail2web.com to check your emails online via a web browser.
Title: Re: Kettle Komputer Kaput.
Post by: Mince on June 04, 2008, 09:38:00 PM: Roger, the hard drive keeps all the data, such as EVERYTHING you ever wrote on the laptop and all the web pages you visited. I hope you trusted whomever mended it.

Post by: The Peepmaster on June 04, 2008, 10:04:17 PM: Why would a computer-mender be interested in gibberish and balderdash anyway?
Title: Re: Kettle Komputer Kaput.
Post by: Diane CBPFC on June 05, 2008, 05:02:56 PM: I dunno Peepmaster - maybe that is the only reason they got into computer mending in the first place - nosy, pizza eating little buggers!

Post by: Roger Kettle on June 05, 2008, 06:43:22 PM: Still working on it. Well, my son and wife are. I'm drinking.

Post by: peter on June 05, 2008, 06:49:26 PM: Drowning your sorrows.
Title: Re: Kettle Komputer Kaput.
Post by: The Peepmaster on June 05, 2008, 06:54:52 PM: I think that site www.mail2web.com was playing-up last night, Roger. I went to it and had the same difficulties you described. Seems to be working fine now. It's a good one to keep in mind, especially when using another computer.

Post by: Roger Kettle on June 05, 2008, 08:15:43 PM: I'm back on the laptop! It took me hours and hours to make my wife fix it.

There may be some work to be done, I fear.

Go to CONTROL PANEL, REGIONAL and LANGUAGE OPTIONS and change the Keyboard Layout to UK.
