Before I throw the laptop out of the window..

Did I double click on mseinstall and run it through the wha? At least I'm using Chrome and the e-mails seem to working ok now so thanks for that. However, I must admit I'm not that keen on Chrome as, for instance, I clicked on link on one post on here, looked at it but afterwards the back button wasn't "lit" so I had to X out of it which, obviously, shut it down and I had to log back on. I also clicked on a link to Top Gear with the same result.

As for favourites, I prefer the old system of having a list down the left hand side as opposed to all over the screen.

Anyway, notwithstanding that, it's much better so thanks to all for your comments and advice. Now, I need the gutters clearing, a load of ivy cutting down and the hall stairs and landing need re-papering so if you'd like to form an orderley queue here and I'll.....hello? Hello?

Where's everybody gone?

Typical.

Colin meant did you manage to install Microsoft Security Essentials?

In Chrome you may be opening things in tabs (those things along the top).

IT people, gardening? Not a chance!

YES, YES, YEEESSSS!!!!!

Ahem, I mean yes, I have managed to install Microsoft Security Essentials. As for the tabs across the top of the page I can't seem to work out how to get rid of them.

At the moment I have a tab for FF with an 'X' in the right hand edge, but when I click on that it gets rid of this page but still leaves me with all the other tabs which don't have an 'X'. The top row is just a list of websites or forums I've copied across from IE, most of which I rarely look at.

Otherwise, my main problem, that of Yahoo mail shutting down IE has been cured by using Chrome, so thanks all.

I prefer Iceweasel (ahem, mozilla) but Ben seems to hate it with a vengeance........
