Over the next week or so, I'll contact each of my opponents and confirm whether or not you wish to cont... |

| Gentlemen, Some time ago I reported a problem with my PC. The end result has been to install a new motherboard (and add back the remaining 'old bits') and this seems to have worked after a fashion. Unfortunately, I still have problems with XP (licence - no of times activated), with a slave hard driv... |

I wish to announce that my PC remains unrepaired at this time. The next available repair date seems to be this coming weekend.
My apologies for the delays, gentlemen and others.

So please bear with an old commander who is stumbling about on foot. "A horse! A horse! My Corps, for a horse!" doesn't seem to to get there, ... |

| Hah! I spoke too soon. Mutter, mutter, mumble... Email access is good because I can use webmail (but no email addresses recovered, of course)! In some ways the "fdisk" action has cleared the decks and made a lot of things easier to do. Unfortunately, it is an interesting experiment reloading a machi... |

| Thanks, Larry, just a new human type memory will suffice.[:D] The re-build seems to have worked, but the anti-virus took an age to download its modules (56k modem, remember) then decided it wouldn't activate without scanning the machine... That took all night (what can I say, it was midnight by the ... |

| Thanks, Larry, but sadly it appears that I still can gain admin access to the system. It's just that it won't process anything of importance, like new windows or anti-virus updates! The b%$$#y thing will still let me change the password. There is some other activity as well that indicates a possible... |

| Gentlemen, My PC decided that I was not an "administrator" yesterday and no amount of cajoling will persuade it otherwise. While that means I cannot load new software, it also means that I cannot load new anti-virus & microsoft updates as well. The expert has been to visit and considers that a "New ... |
