Sorry guys.

my machine was a complete farce tonight.

Miseed Question 1

Loaded the web/quiz page and my computer went into 286 mode.  Did the old Alt, Ctl + Del and the CPU was working at 100%.  Typing was a night mare, shut the web page down all was ok.

Done a reboot still have problems, but my machine has been like this all week.

Loaded a laptop with windows but found out my key code has run out, so am stuck at the mo for sorting this machine out.  Laptop was far too slow to manage with.

Sorry for being a let down..... Again :-/ :-/ :-/
