Its OK Guys. I had a chat with a friend in Brum and he talked me through a few things. Amongst others I have dumped Internet Explorer in favour of Firefox and it is giving me a much better service. For example the little music notes which I can now see at the side of my name were just squares before. And everything now seems to be back in the right place. Incidentally this blew up when I had a popup telling me I needed to uninstal and reinstal my Norton Antivirus. So being a good boy I uninstalled Norton and then had no way of re uploading it because Collettes brother put it into the computer when he built it. Anyway I am now protected by AVG which was just as well because when I ran the Scan it cleaned up over 1500 infections!!

I have been having some Puter trouble with a b..... Virus and now that it has been sorted I find some things have changed. One is that I have possibly disabled Javascript. Please can someone tell me how to enable it? Step by step as if teaching a little child please. Thanks, Jim.
