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*

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying.
