I've obviously pressed something on the keyboard, and I don't know what. The result is that I now have a green arrow light with underscore showing, a large box partially obscuring the screen containing what appears to be gibberish to me, and a box at the bottom of the screen displaying a white question mark in a blue circle. How do I get rid of this rubbish please? I've tried deleting but nothing happens and every time I click on the mouse I get a "ting"...it's getting on my...


Help please?:-$

It sounds like you may well have malware on your PC.


Probably you should get this looked at asap, as you don't know what it's up to. If it starts suggesting virus scanners and such like, don't take its advice.


I wouldn't email your document to someone else, as it may have the virus embedded within it - just email it to yourself if you need to.

Good idea Narnia but can't do - it's a private legal doc on behalf of a third party.


External drive karter?:-S Email to myself? It's 80+ pages long and it's in "star office":-S.


Can I just not press something to undo whatever it is I have done? Getting flustered now...

Huguenot now I'm scared...but thanks


Sean...it's a PC...do you mean cut and paste the page containing gibberish? If so...here is the content: sh1t. it won't cut and paste...just makes that irritating "tinging" noise every time I click the mouse.


I don't understand your other instructions - sorry:-$. I'm really crap at this computer stuff. And to cap it all, connection maddeningly slow and keeps on disconnecting...thanks BTW


*bangs head on wall and screams*

I think SMG wanted a screen grab - there's probably a key up the top right hand side of your keyboard called something like 'Print Screen" or 'Prt Sc' etc.


Here's detailed instructions.


This will copy an image of the screen into your clipboard, you can then 'paste' this into a document which you can save to your computer and attach to a thread.

Oh this is SO embarrassing...have pressed the PrtScn button (shared with SysRq - whatever that is) and nothing happens. Have looked at step 2 - and I haven't a clue as to what is meant by "Open an image editing program, such as Microsoft Paint" - paint? may as well be in Swahili!


But what would CAUSE these irritations (i.e. the so-called "windows support" page and the green arrow with underscore to light up and for a white question mark in a blue circle to clog my screen?

No b_s, I don't realise anything...I really, really AM dumb with computers...but I am able to minimise the legal doc so the irritations are currently on the EDF...thanks btw x


Oh dear...


The irony is that hubby is an IT Design Consultant...but he isn't contactable today and isn't going to arrive home till very late...


*sigh*

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
