Thanks for all this, people. I have’nt had time to get back here, and will act on some of the ideas, the printer and scanner work perfectly OK if Avast is switched off, but I havent needed to use either since, so I dunno if it was just a blip. I am having problems with some e-mail addresses I have (I use 7, and 3 or 4 are now giving me problem more than that, they are not downloading or sending - whereas before, I had no problem) So, I’m up for any FURTHER advice in that department !!! ::slight_smile: ;D ;D ;D
