Hi LM.


The letters are not quite as random as they seem. They seem to form blocks

of characters that are next to each other on the keyboard. Looks like you may of

leant on the keyboard or placed say a book on it. ???


Just close the window as Kalamitykel has suggested by clicking the Red X top right of the

Windows Help and Support Window.

Actually, I've just had a thought...


I did clean the keyboard earlier on (with a toothbrush and slightly damp rag)...it was grubby/dusty and was annoying me...:-S


But never mind that, how can I get rid of this stupid rubbish and the green arrow with underscore and the white question mark within the blue circle?

I'm sorry, but I've no idea - I've never used windows support and I didn't ask to use it today. But thanks for PM...am about to try your instructions...

Hi LM


Position your mouse over the Blue Circle with the ? mark


You should see a little box with the a discription


If it says Help and Support. Click on it.


It will either close the box already open or open a new box.


If it opens a new box try and close that box with the Red X


If that closes then you should be able to close the other box.

KK you are a genius! Control alt delete and going into task manager and deleting windows support did the trick. Phew! That's got rid of the offending page AND the question mark in blue circle. There still remains the matter of a green light on the keyboard bearing a downward arrow (underscored). Any further ideas? I've pressed every button on the keyboard (I think), but it's still there. But it's minor - so relieved the gibberish has gone.


I am REALLY grateful.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • 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.
