henry21p Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Do what i've done on Mum and Grandma's PC's. Set them up on broadbean Install MSN messenger and give them a login Teach them how to talk to you and "request remote assistance" which allows you to take control of their PC without having to go and visit Save it yourself and see the problem. Hopefully it will spot the obvious problem. not related, but: Whilst you're there, check that windows defender and AVG are installed and that windows is up to date. Also that there is only ONE antivirus and ONE anti-spyware installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 rename it???? maybe calling it a document is giving it an inferiority complex,mabbe it wants to be a complete dossier or even a fulkl report 😬 I spit on your Emeralds give me SUs for now, then webbers Edited by - Delbert on 1 Nov 2007 20:29:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scared Was The Sheep Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Might not be the answer, but.... This has a horrendous ring of truth about it with my father!! What he was doing was saving things in some random temp folder and then looking in My Documents for it. Sounds like this could be similar. As far as not seeing the .doc extension. By default (I think), windows has a setting called 'hide extensions for known files', or similar. If you load windows explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View it should be in there. BY the way, what version of office is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTD Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Forty five squids to the chap in the LA PC fixit emporium and the machine is all OK again. Full of viruses, adware and bu99er knows what.

Mrs GTD Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Not to mention a complete in ability to follow even the simplest bloody instruction 😔 Thank heavens it was GTD dealing with her last night not me. "OK Jean, type yourname@hotmail.com" "I've done that it doesn't work" "Oh - can you read back what you've typed?" "myname@hotmail.com" "Oh..." 10 minutes later... "Right, read back EXACTLY what you've typed, letter by letter" "Hmm, well you MIGHT want to try adding an 'm' to the end of .co" So tempting to tell her to put it back in the box as she's too stupid to own a computer...
