| 344812 | 2005-04-14 22:33:00 | Take the 03 out of the area code if its there and just put in 087303030?? I think thats Xtra's dialup. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 344813 | 2005-04-15 00:23:00 | 087 Area code 303030 Phone number |

| 344814 | 2005-04-15 00:31:00 | You can put the whole number under phone number And leave area code blank. I'm on Ihug and just put the whole number in phone number. Works fine. |

| 344815 | 2005-04-15 02:30:00 | Thanks all. Did as Rob suggested and low and behold she had a connection. Downloaded updates of all adware,virus stuff,never seen so many nasties. She doesn't have SP2,was thinking of putting that on,what do you think? Also Firefox as she is not good at keeping things up to date. |

| 344816 | 2005-04-15 02:33:00 | Scan / remove spyware FIRST before u install SP2. Or it will go round in circles. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

QUOTE] Check the Motherboard & Processor support SP2 before you install it. Some boards require a BIOS update especially if they are running certain Celeron 'D' CPU's before SP2 is installed Some older just flat out don't support it at all Check manufacturers site first Also HP/Dell etc have released patches for some Models If you don't and SP2 isn't supported, the whole thing turns to custard |

The unit in question is a top of the line PC Computer jobbie,bit difficult to get in touch with them,unless we have a seance :lol: |

They never made one It doesn't matter how new the machine is I've just repaired a corrupt SP2 install yesterday on a machine 8mths old The board didn't support the Celeren/SP2 Combo That's 3 this month I could build you a brand spanker today with a board I bought a year ago that won't take SP2 and you wouldn't know the diff. |
