I use a Dropbox...for all business file storage so it is automatically updated on all my putors, phone and iPad too.....It's fantastic! Www.dropbox.com

I am a mac convert. And use adobe for word processing and design.

Mind you it is exiting with any new pooter. I am sure yours will serve you well Colin.

I will just be glad to get back to normal. I was dealing with a boiler fault today 25 miles away from base and guess where my lap top was. Clue it wasn't on the van!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess it's horses for courses as I found dropbox a right pain and the fact that you have to pay if you want a decent amount of storage means that I prefer the safety of an external hard drive and some memory sticks. I also like the fact that you can then access all your photos, music etc even when the internet is down for example today we had a long power cut and so long as my laptop battery was working I could still do what I wanted but if I'd been relying on something virtual I'd have been stuffed

OK peeps I post on my new putor so starts the questions.

I would like to have internet explorer as my search engine with Virgin Media as my home page not MSN but the settings say its not allowed.

I would love to have a icon to take me to my old e-mail account which Outlook Express.

I am sure there will be lots of other questions but this thing is so fast I am a bit dizzy at the mo.

Thanks in advance Colin

[Potstubsdustbins]

Ok I have sussed Explorer just need to change my home page now.

Still looking into the e-mail thing.

Colin

[cardiffsteve]

Open Internet Explorer
Click "Tools"
Click "Internet Options"
Click "General tab"
In the box at top of tab enter the web address you want as a home page e.g. http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine/forum.php

Click "ok"

Way to go!

[cardiffsteve]

What version of outlook express you using?
Or are you using outlook which is a bit different.

[Potstubsdustbins]

OK Steve will go do that and thanks.

Now I have a really funny one.

I use Word for all my documents. I have loaded Word 2006 on to the putor and then transfered my data from the memory sticks.

When I open a document I can see the cursor flashing, I can move the document using the scroll and move the cursor about the document. BUT I cannot type/delete or anything else in the document.

So no Invoices, reports or anything until I gety this sorted.

Colin of to change his home page.

[Potstubsdustbins]

Home page changed Thanks again Steve

Open the old document. Select all and copy. Open a new document and paste into it.

or Open the old document. File>Save As. Choose rtf-format. Open the new rtf-file.

See if you can edit the documents then.
