Folks, that is GREAT!!! Your suggestions for fixing it worked a treat. A bad day has turned good. Thanks a million. By the way, I am on Windows 10. using Firedox. Couldn't have sorted this without your help.

Technical Help / Scanned item won't delete from screen

« on: Saturday 24 December 22 07:50 GMT (UK) »

I scanned an image yesterday, and this morning that image is on my main opening screen, superimposed on top of the short-cut icons. I can still use the short cut icons to get into all my sites but just can't seem to shift the image, which covers about a quarter of the screen and partly obscures the short cut icons. I tried refreshing Firefox - no luck. I tried a Clean Up of the computer using Wise Tech - no luck. Can't figure out why this is happening. How do I sort this?

Technical Help / Re: Email from Amazon ???

« on: Friday 02 December 22 11:10 GMT (UK) »

I tried your suggestions and it reads amazon-offers@amazon.co.uk ...It is gives a few words of the message - something to do with Outlook, which is something I don't use.

Never knew you could find out who was sending a message. It is a good thing to know about. So I take it I'm okay to open it, as it says amazon-offers@amazon.co.uk

Technical Help / Email from Amazon ???

« on: Friday 02 December 22 07:26 GMT (UK) »

I received an email from Amazon.co.uk headed Look out for online scammers. Has anyone else received this? Is it genuine or is this itself a scam? The scammers are trying to fool us all the time, and I am reluctant to even open it. Yet if I just delete it, it may be a useful bit of information.
In two minds about this. When I brought up my incoming Emails page this morning, it was there, having been sent to me at 12.03. In other words midnight.

I am 79 years old and I am not a computer wizard. I often wish I was, because if you are not then a computer problem can drive you nuts. It is a good job I live alone, because the air turns blue when the computer has some hidden, hard to find problem.

However, I just wondered if changing your browser to Firefox might just work. Feel sorry for you in such a tricky situation. Does anyone agree with this suggestion or might it even make things worse?

Was his mother's name Connell? There is a death for a James Clark, a Ship-Master, at Ayr - but he was married to Eliza Mitchell. His place of residence at death was Gleniffer Place, Ayr.
