I am using Chrome right now, but I was using Firefox. Try this -- open Firefox - at the toolbar at the top of the screen, Tools Options Network Connection Settings Mine is set to use system proxy settings. If yours is not, you can try the auto detect proxy settings for this network If you know the configurations, you can try the manual proxy configuration. Let us know and if it does not work and you do not know the configuration used for IE, I can tell you what I use and MAYBE where to find yours.

Hi all - I've been without computer due to not being able to download my Thunderbird email from Rogers.com I too had to pay Mozilla's on-line paid techi's to work thru Rogers settings and they were able to get hundreds of emails that Rogers still had on-line. I was not able to retrieve any of my old draft messages. I was lucky that I kept the old computer and have downloaded many of my drafts copies and local folder contents. Another thing that I was unable to download were my address lists. So just a learning experience that I should be more efficient in copying and saving old files and keeping the old computers as our data is probably still on them unless we arrange to specially delete all contents. cheers Joyce C

That subject line is not very clear! We set up three accounts on our computer per some Win7 instructions sent to us. We _thought_: 1st account is us; 2nd account for adult children; 3rd account for guests who might need internet. Using the 2nd account set for adult children, to our horror and their acute embarrassment, it was discovered that all of our personal data were available to our adult children: onedrive, dropbox, etc. Question: can having the 2nd account for adult children be adjusted in any way to exclude their access to our personal info? How? Hope problem is clearly stated. We are slightly above the skill level of surfing, email, but need simple step-by-step directions, please? TIA Rick Powell Win7, 64 bit, Office 2010
