2.0 has been as problem free as 1.5... Themes and extensions need to be 2.0 compatible. It will replace, as in install over, 1.5 Santa does exist, I suspect he is the result of cloning how else could he do what he does? We do eat coal, just a few million years before it actually becomes coal.

No, spellbound is not required. Did the dictionary install OK? It works well, does the inline check as you type

My FF (ver 2.0) updated itself yesterday too and refused to show after that. Had to use the safe mode function, and disable the plugins to get it working again.

That's easy! Install Firefox 2.0 and add your Canadian dictionary!

This is your ISP. It sounds like the SMTP server does not recognise your IP address as being one that is authorised to use the SMTP server. You may need to edit your email config to pass your account and password to the server. Check with your ISP (NTL?) for correct email client configuration, if it is correct you need to flag this as a fault to them. This is to prevent spammers using SMTP servers to send emails to all and sundry.

That can be a characteristic of cable faults, fritzy one moment fine the next. It could be a break in the wire, or poor crimping at either end. I suggested the cable as it is easy to replace, and cheap, and therefore a good starting point. With regard to the modem, this is tricky considering the cost. The fault could be a dry joint or a failing component. I would consider buying/borrowing another ethernet card for testing purposes, unless of course your modem has a USB interface that you could try. I would send you a card, I have several, but it would take too long to get to you! A basic card can be bought for as little as $19.99 from Best Buy. In an ideal world you would have access to a port tester that would help confirm correct operation from your PC up to (but not including) your modem, however some cables will report as OK on these testers yet fail when an attempt is made to pass data over them!

Ahhh. I see you didn't do the obvious and renew the sticky tape... Bloody hell Arsenal, your system sounds like it is haunted. What make/model is the network card? Have you tried a new cable, should cost no more than $5 and can often be the culprit. Alternatively it could be the cable modem, this is not so easy to diagnose as you will have to rely on status lights which are as much use as a cheap chinese watch. To isolate run some basic diagnostics: When 'limited connectivity' occurs does the device manager flag a problem with the network card?

Mozzilla Quick Find...or Type Ahead. Drives me nuts too, looking for a fix now

Looks very nice, if both my FFB sticks die then I will struggle to choose a replacement. Although I will probably plump for a CH stick to make my set up all CH. But that X52 Pro has got a lot going for it, and it is only my investment in CH that would stop me from buying it.

Glad it is sorted m8.

I could create an image of a bootable floppy if required.

What isn't immediately clear is whether this applies only to off-site images, such as those hosted by Photobucket, or if it is all images. Check ZoneAlarm too as that may be blocking it under privacy.

Should look like this Frior: [attach=1]

First thing when seeing that message is to make sure there isn't a floppy disk in the drive, easily overlooked! You can try making a bootable floppy from another XP pc, but it has to have identical system drive type: [*:22tzsch4]Format a floppy in XP [*:22tzsch4]Copy the following files to it (must have hidden and system files viewable): [li]boot.ini [*:22tzsch4]ntldr [*:22tzsch4]ntdetect.com [/li] Try booting off that, if successful then you copy those three files to the root of your system/boot disk. There are circumstances where applications remove or modify these files, Norton Antivirus is one such program that, when being un-installed, will render a system unbootable because it deleted the boot.ini. Quite funny really, as that it typical virus behaviour! I have experienced the above on large corporate servers, taking a panic 'phone call from a tech crapping himself because the server failed to boot after maintenance.

AFAIK that would require the use of two soundcards, IL2 routed through the better one and TS through the other. Practically speaking I am not sure it is possible though. This is why many use USB headsets that have their own virtual sound card, again I have never actually tried it...

Bloody hell, he can write too!

Welcome m8, good to have you aboard (good for us that is, not sure if it is good for you though )

Which pictures and where? I got IE7 here too, but Firefox 2.0 is much better, it ignores missing graphics so I don't feel guilty!

Did you completely remove the drivers, and run driver cleaner?

...and maybe you haven't either! On the IL2 home page:

Bloody hell M8, what a nightmare! Been one of those weeks I guess. When I upgraded the wrong site, thinking I was uploading to this site...doh! Bloody tabbed ftp explorer. For once my backup routine worked, operating on a 'don't change anything until it's backed up and then back it up when done' is good policy

That's better. Now if I type microsoft it works, but .microsoft it doesn't. And how about 'Microsoft'. Could post by the way Sunflower, that is quite a gotcha there isn't it!
