Questions for any tech savvy folk.

[turps]

I appear to have done something to my computer. It boots up fine, if a little slow, but unless I log on immediately I can't get online later. So if I switch it on then log on it's fine. But if I switch it on, then use photoshop or any other programme it won't let me log on later, and I have to restart. It even does that when the screensaver comes on.

I thought the problems I'd been having with it might have been memory related, both of my hard drives were nearly completely full, but I put some of my media files on disc and the memory went up.

So I'm stuck now :(

Also, anyone have any recs for ISP's? I need broadband and can't get cable, and it has to be available in the UK, so that narrows it down *g* BT is pissing me off lately so I'm thinking about changing. I was considering AOL but I've heard some bad things about it, plus it seems to have implemented a spam ban on a load of its customers. I know it doesn't allow mail from bt and populli servers, I know that too freaking well! But anyone else use any others? Freeserve? Anything?

I'd try AOL

I know AOL has broadband in the US, dunno about the UK. I've had AOL for years, and it has performed almost flawlessly all that time. A few problems here and there, but I think that's the nature of the beast we call the computer. ;) No ISP is flawless 100% of the time.

Try a google search with "ISP United Kingdom", it should pull up all your options.

Glad you're thinking about dumping btinternet! Now maybe I'll get some darn emails!

Didya get the invite to join the yahoo group I set up for us to write to each other? That could be a temporary way, until you get your ISP straightened out.

Let me know!

Miss ya!
