Hi PPM, Thanks for the reply. Mush appreciated. I did an online repair of Office and the problem still exists. I've tried opening Outlook in safe mode, but this time it cannot see any of the latest Sent Items even in Safe Mode. I'm reduced to sending blind copies of my emails from my main...

I am using a Surface Pro and a day ago I discovered that no files in my Sent Items and Trash folders show with dates later than 15/8/23. The Inbox is working normally. It happenned suddenly two days ago and yesterday, when I opened Outlook in safe mode, they were all showing. Today, I cannot...

Hi BK_123. No, I haven't, but can you suggest what question I should ask and how it will affect my internet connexion?

Hi BK 123. That looks something like what I have, but I don't have any power cable. As far as speed is concerned, I'm on a 25Mbits plan which means that my absolute maximum speed at any time is about 10Mbits, but I can live with that. Thanks for that advice root. It's only temporary but I'll...

Thanks for the replies, Cortb, strollin and root and please excuse my ignorance. I believe that I have not explained the problem properly. I wish to extend the wire that comes from the initial point of entry into the house. This, I think, is a coaxial cable with a threaded termination that...

I wish to redecorate my study and move all my computer equipment to an adjacent room. I can remove two back-to-back power points to give me access to the other room. My plan is to run a new cable from the wall outlet through the hole in the wall to the new temporary office (about 5m). Does...

Hi joedaman and spellunker. Thanks for the contribution. I have understood that I will get nowhere password protecting the browser. Changing the password for the router seems more promising. Will there also be a password for the modem? I didn't realize that. I'm not sure if anyone else is...

Hi crazyman. Very many thanks for the reply and the trouble you have gone to to set me on the right path. Very much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply crazyman. No, I don't want to block websites. My concern is that someone else may be using my internet connexion as I seem to use up my download allowance rather too quickly and I want to make access to the internet available only via a password. Perhaps I was trying to...

I currently have no password protection for Internet Explorer 11. I am trying to set one and have "RunDll32.exe msrating.dll,RatingSetupUI" then in Content Advisor > General >Create Password I have a form requiring "Password", "Confirm Password" and "Hint". When I enter a password and confirm...

Thanks setishock, I checked those and they were OK. Then had a look at the Flash player again and realized that I'd only loaded the installation program.:o Once it was loaded, the card worked. Grateful thanks to everybody for all of your valuable assistance.

Thanks CORROSIVTF, I'm using IE11 and I do have Java loaded. The cursor doesn't change to a hand when I hover it over the message and clicking it achieves nothing. Thanks strollin, but I guess that doesn't progress the issue. Sometimes I really hate computers (several times a day usually).

Hi Strollin. Thanks for the suggestion. I have just installed Adobe Flash Player. I had it before, but I thought I'd try a reinstall. I still get the same message.

Hi CORROSIVETF, Thanks for the reply. Yes I know that it's genuine. I've spoken to the sender.

I received a Carlson greetings card and when I click the hyperlink I get a message saying "A plugin is needed to display this content." This is pretty unhelpful. It doesn't say what plugin or how/where to get it. Does anyone have any advice?
