I have replied off list. Because this is a technical problem, it probably isn't appropriate for further discussion here. Therefore, can I respectfully ask for no further postings on this subject. Many thanks for all the replies. They were very much appreciated. Kind regards, John. PTW wrote: > Hi John, > > you say it might be a problem with your Broadband provider. Obviously, I don't know what set-up you have but I notice you are based in England and use BTinternet. You might try this - Microsoft XP users - on the bottom right-hand side of the taskbar hover your mouse over the twin monitor icon, a pop-up box should appear and give the speed and data received and sent, check this occasionally. If the icon is not there click 'Start' click 'Connect to' click 'BT ISP logo' .
