I have a diffusion EA17 LCD monitor and the marks on the screen are starting to anoy me, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to clean it. Thanks.

Have solved this problem - all I had to do was uninstall Panda Antivirus from the computer.

It's probs my setting being a new computer but does it mean something that I can't access hotmail or yahoo mail (in term of send mail pages?) it brings up the typical cannot find server IE error page.

I can access websites - I'm on that computer now, but when it comes to sending e-mails I have trouble. I don't know anything about DNS, WINS and gateway entries.

Just installed wireless broadband at home. Nice and fast but don't seem to be able to send e-mails or access hotmail at all. I can also not make any changes to the website that I update (1and1.co.uk is the server). I can receive e-mail fine but when it come to send them I am told the server...

The error is LU1844: Coupled Groups aborted with no abort Text. Can anyone help? This has been the problem for about 2 months. Thanks

Ok thanks. I'm not using a BT mail account. Is there any way that I could get around this? When we had freeserve it worked fine.

Since purchasing BT Broadband (uk) I have not been able to send any e-mail using outlook express except hotmail. Previously I had been using Freeserve Anytime. What could the problem be? Thanks

About 7-8 months ago I altered windows xp so that if passwords were tried several times incorrectly the user was locked out for a specified time period - I would now like to turn off this feature but I have forgotten how I origionally set it up. Please could someone tell me what alterations...

No, I'm not even a member of ebay.

You were right MaxPipeline. Freeserve does have this policy -does anyone know of a method to get around this, e.g. somehow making the ISP think that the sesion is only a few minutes old?

Thanx, but I can't seem to install the service packs as windows update beleives that the product key that I used to install windows is invalid. I can however install all of the other updates which seems strange to me. My copy of XP Pro could be described as slightly "dodgy" I suppose...

Would the cheapest way to speed up be to but more RAM? Or invest in one of those tweak programs?

I've now tried a variety of these programs but none of them seem to work. It always disconnects periodically after 2hrs wether i'm using it or not. Have you got any new information? Thanx.

Thanx guys you've been a great help but I haven't managed to solve it yet I will keep trying!
