    Windows Live Messenger

    No, I have a linksys router and have had for nearly a year now, so it could not be that that was causing the problem. It was obviously just the server that was down as it is fine now.

    Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 Discussion (Build 7.0.5450.4)

    I thought I would post with the resolution to the problem in case anyone else cannot install. Just reboot in Safe mode and install...works fine!

    Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 Discussion (Build 7.0.5450.4)

    Well, aren't you all lucky! I cannot install Beta 3. I removed Beta 2 from Add/Remove programs and disabled firewalls, antispyware and antivirus. Downloaded OK and went through installation process. I am not sure at what point it stopped and sent a message that it could not be installed and to...

    Windows Live Messenger

    Thanks for responses....I did upgrade as I said in my post and it made no difference but I am now on again! I guess it just needed some patience.

    Windows Live Messenger

    I have been using WLM Beta for months now and never had a problem signing in until today. I have not been able to sign in at all today on either computer. I keep getting a 81000314 error message. I know there have been some problems, but most seem to have been resolved, except for mine! I...

    Automatic Windows Updates Not Working?

    Having read lancer's post on the Windows updates, I realized that neither of my computers had updated recently, even though each one is set to automatically update. Also on the windows update page online it says my system is set to automatically update. But neither does! I am running Windows XP...

    2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 Discussion

    One important thing I have found is that you should save files as 97-2003 in Word etc., as the new format cannot be read on other machines not running Office 2007 Beta. This would also apply if you had to uninstall Office 2007 and reinstall Office 2003. I love the save to pdf feature!

    2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 Discussion

    I just love the whole office 2007 package but I doubt I would be able to afford the full version. Does anyone know how dysfunctional it will become after 1st Feb. next year? Will we be able to use it at all? Not that I think it should be free or cheap but I wish it could be!

    2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 Discussion

    Many thanks! I am sure about the grey either but at least we have a choice! I have deleted two subfolders under RSS feeds so we shall see what happens.

    2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 Discussion

    Well, I got it downloaded and installed...as has been said before, patience is the key! Now, two things: 1. Is there any way to change the colour? I am not keen on the blue of the new office programs? 2. For some silly reason, I opted to receive RSS feeds in Outlook...how do I change that...

    2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 Discussion

    I have been trying to download the beta Office 2007 to have a look at it and each time I have to fill in details, which I do. Thereafter, I am told a message has been sent to my email verifying my application...but there is no message. How can I have a look at Office 2007...I am so anxious!

    Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 (5346.5)

    Well, I solved my problem. The browser kept crashing because I had Browster installed. At least I presume that was causing a conflict as I uninstalled Browster and now IE7 does not crash when I do a search.

    Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 (5346.5)

    I love the look of IE7 Beta 2 but it crashes on my desktop. I also have it installed on my laptop and that seems to be OK. Both are running Windows XP SP2. The laptop is a intel pentium and the desktop is a intel celeron. Any ideas please as to why it is crashing on the desktop...it only...
