They are great tools when they work correctly but when they’ve a mind to go astray………….they are a complete pain in the butt! After my recent ‘fun’ in changing network provider everything was going smoothly until I switched off my computer and re-started it the following day. I lost the wireless connection and despite all attempts to re-instate it I have failed. Hopefully my friend is coming along today to sort it out for me. It is obviously a software problem, probably incorrect passwords or similar. Anyhow it won’t stop me getting online as I am using an ethernet connection just now. Only problem with that is I need to be near the router which needs to be near the main phone connection. That means I have to sit in the hallway to connect! LOL. Life is great innit?

Now it might seem daft but I have always used AOL for browsing the Internet. That was only because they are my current provider and their browser is very simple to use. I resisted using Internet Explorer for so long until yesterday. What has happened is that recently I applied to TalkTalk for them to be my provider and that should take effect from the beginning of next month (see previous post). I decided to start using Int. Ex. so I could get used to it. First thing I did was to transfer all my Favourites from AOL and delete all those useless ones that Int. Ex. has! That took some time but it’s all done now. The version I had was 7 but it was running with add-ons disabled which meant some web pages didn’t load properly, (mostly images). No matter what I did to try to correct that nothing worked. Today however I found an invitation to download Internet Explorer 8 which I duly did and hey presto! All my previous problems have been solved! Still don’t know why my add-ons wouldn’t work, maybe it was a JavaScript problem, I don’t know. Anyways I am happy now using the new Explorer. Silly me, just like a kid with a new toy! So you CAN teach an (not so very) old dog new tricks….tehe…I do get there in the end…….look at my blog…..never thought I’d do one of these. Well it stops me watching TV…hahaha….
