Thank you all most kindly! I was getting withdrawal symptoms.
I dont understand why I could not log in using
[email protected], it must be something to do with windows live. Whenever I tried to logout then login using it, it refused to let me and I started to worry about the 3 strikes and you're out.
I stll cannot access my board where all my pics are stored!
I received news from Rent-a-geek today - my computer is shagged, with a possible bright spot that the hard-drive is probably OK. Motherboard and environs have crossed the great divide, apparantly. I'll get a new one built from scratch this time round and the sooner the better. I hate laptops and I hate vista!
Regards all
