You seem to have several problems. Can you give more specific details on each? For example, a computer not being able to POST means it cannot start up and load Windows. Is that what you were meaning? I am not sure how that is related to not being able to use the printer on your new computer.

Sorry if i used the wrong jargon. Not got a problem with Posting.
My word & outlook express won't recognise the instruction colon right bracket :) and turn it into a smiley, same with the other emoticons. It has only happened since I got my new PC.

thanks

Have you run Windows/Microsoft update since you got your computer? There will probably be a few OE updates to get. As for Word - I don't know why it isn't working. What version of Word are you using?

444476 2006-04-14 04:40:00 Hi! Greven,

I have word 2003 and the emoticons are OK!. I tried Microsoft Outlook 2003 bundled in the Office suite and the emoticons work fine, So it must be an Outlook update that is needed.
Thanks for your reply it put me on track. think I will stay with MS Outlook.

Cheers ;)

CHALEY.
