Settle down in the chair and then we'll continue.
It sounds like the wife has bought you a BMW X5 for your birthday!

B*W :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
She knows better than that. I can't stand the marque at all (bar the early 70's 2002 Turbo)
No, I have a PC problem,and I will freely admit I'm a 'Techno-Luddite' & 'Computer-unfriendly'
Right, I use 'XP Home' & contribute to this 'barmy bunch' via AOL version 8.0 (don't like the current version 9.0)
AOL!!! Some will already have the garlic & crucifixes to hand :lol:
At the moment AOL is changing its access network, for want of a better phrase (I don't know the technical aspects)
So they've been posting a pop-up upon logging on to say (essentially)
'xx number of days left until we change & if you don't download this update, you'll be stuck with 128mb/s'
I'e downloaded the date, but upon trying to open it & let it overwrite (is that the correct phrase??) the current settings, all I get is a window saying
'Bitmap Problem. Cannot continue' (I think that's it)
So what can I do?
ALSO I don't know if it's related, but....
1 Now the PC won't go into 'Standby'. I have the timeout set for 10minutes, I can come back an hour later & it's still on
2. If I try to close down the PC & turn off, it gets as far as 'Saving Your Settings' & no further.
I have to turn it off at the power switch.
Help Me!!
I guess someone who is on AOL will know what I mean about the new network/ access/whatever they're doing
Suggestions in plain English please, not 'computer-ese'
And we're otherwise happy with AOL, so don't feel the need to swap
Wanderer:
It's more than an agony uncle that's needed here Richard.....
Sorry can't help with A*L
I'm with you on the B*W the 2002 tii was outstanding. I wish I'd never sold mine. Worth a bob or two now.
beast5680:
well i,m on AOL(yes yes i know before you all flame me) and thats a new one on me but i have updated when i received the new version each time(i dont like ver 9 either but i,ve got used to it) cant say i,ve had that problem but i believe sometimes it can conflict with internet explorer settings and such like
woody:
AOL :lol:
don't worry if theres oil under your house george w will send some nice gentlemen round (in uniform) to help you with your problem :shock:
TimM:
It might be time to call it a day and upgrade to A*L 9.0, in your case it might be best to get a version on CD 'available in all good shops' so they say, this would simplify the upgrade, but you would then need to re-enter your username and passwords.
Unless that would be too complicated and hence just downloading the new version online may be easier.
............ Not sure which is better now, it depends on your experience. :oops:
