Hi all, thanks for the expressions of help. My ham-fisted hacking at my
system probably made my system even more flakey that it was becomming. I did
stumble over the solution to another two unrelated problems in the process
so it wasn't all wasted time. I may have learned something (if only to makes
notes about the reinstall process...I have a recalcitrant internal moden
which comes up wrong and has to be removed in safe mode before it can be
installed properly....that took nearly 24hours to 'remember' !! Old age !!)
Still two and a half days to reinstall Win95 and IE wont get me into Mensa!
Its a hell of a lot of use having help files on a CD when you want to put
your computer back together!! (memo.... must buy a book!)
I will now catch up with reading about 100 e-mails (after deleting at least
3 questionable incomming mails)
With sincere apologies to anyone who got one of my 'forged'
attachments....as far as I am aware only John G4CNN and Larry VA3LK had mail
in my outbox at the time the nasty arrived (not from anyone on this group).
Please note I try to make my 'Subject' line fairly original even on
replies...it helps to spot a weirdy, even if it does break up the threads a
bit.
Thanks John and Larry.
Cheers de Alan G3NYK
