Screen saver

[another-view]

I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears. Anyone able to help? ;-)

You need to go to SpecSavers

disconnect the mouse

Perhaps you could help me with another one. I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it.

you need to buy an million monkeys and a similar nunber of typewriters

Don't move the mouse.

I'm writing my first email and I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the little circle around it?

[Jumbuck]

use a monocle

Have you tried rebooting?

I booted it with my foot which helped me feel better but didn't do the computer much good.
It nows says "press any key" but I don't have an "any" key.

[Jumbuck]

Did you read that right? because usually the message is "press at Newquay" for which you'll want http://www.newquayvoice.co.uk/

Thank Jumbuck but I mentioned it to a friend who asked me if I was running it under Windows.
I replied, "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the office next to me is under a window, and his computer is working fine."

But it could depend on the type of disk. Can you see if his is hard or is he holding a floppy?

Well he said he had a hard drive but I thought that was a car with no engine.
He's just invited me to look at his 3 and a half inch floppy but I'm not too sure.

If you go for the older models they might have a 5 1/4 inch floppy

[Jumbuck]

Only worth going if it's 5 1/4" (nobody even remembers 8" these days).

Perhaps he's just had the front of his house tarmacked.
