    JohnBoy25 replied to the topic Another good win for Scotland in the board The locker room 18 years, 11 months ago

    I think we’re in with the best chance of qualifying for a long time Mary. After France midweek, which I ain’t expecting much if anything from, the biggest test is the next game against Italy. We’ve got a good record at home recently, especially against the big guns.

    JohnBoy25 replied to the topic Spam e-mails in the board Technical Q&A 18 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else getting emails from ‘MyOffers’? I get that a lot, even though I have a spam blocker in my internet security settings. Only thing to do is put them in my inbox, mark them as spam, delete them and hope for the best.

    Strange thing is, I don’t get them in my hotmail account – my mum has a hotmail account and always gets the kind of emails…[Read more]

    Thanks for all the advice but I think things are best left as they are. I’m not very tech minded so don’t want to muck around with it and play about with things any more than I already have.

    As for the validation issues, I’m as confused as anybody else. The online validation tool gives me an error message, the downloaded validation tool says that…[Read more]

    I have decided that from now on I am not touching a thing!! I tried the Packard Bell restore which is completely reversible (no it’s not!) and have spent the last two and a half hours attempting to restablish an internet connection.

    Now that it’s back, it shall be left alone!

    DOA – I don’t have an HP computer so that first one porobably wouldn’t work. However, I did try the Internet Explorer 7 download and it’s actually doing it.

    The reason I seem surprised is that it usually tells me that it cannot validate my software even though the validation tool says…guess what? Genuine!

    I’m hoping this’ll download okay but…[Read more]
