Computer (new BT/Yahoo)probs - can you help?
 

Have found tonight that I couldnt get the BT openworld home page up. I knew it was going 'over to the joint site with Yahoo' but wasnt told when.
My probs:
1. I cannot get a home page as my 'opening page' - just a blank page, with the address it the top bar saying 'btinternet.....)
2. I cannot register for the FREE upgrades they offer, as all I get is a blank page, after I have entered my email & password
3. My Norton AV (2003) couldnt do an update - and still cant...
4. I now cannot send & receive using Outlook Expess.
5. The home page - when I got it - will not let me send an email to BT - as soooo slow, it wont operate...

I am on a little Sony Vaio, using Dial up on a 56k psion gold card, and using bt surftime (use it most a work, so why pay more at home!)

Can anyone help - in easy words... and tell me what to do?

Tel 077601 33261 - or reply in s i m p l e w r i t i n g here.

Ta,
Charlotte

ps - no boffins in my office till next week either...

HELP!

Help!

Pse guys - cant even use the 'smilies' on the right of this post - or on my other site I use.....having to manually type the 'codes' in.....

Really fed up...

Sorry Chaz,

I haven't got a Scooby-doo I'm affraid.

Are you sure you haven't used your hours up for the month?

Or, maybe there's a problem with BT itself?

Sorry I can't be of any use :(

Hang in there!

Cheers!

Cheers for the thought Scott.

Havent used up my hours this month....

But have got onto the bt/yahoo page, but is so ridiculously slow (if operating at all) have given up.
Other strange thing, is that when I submit my post here, I cant see it - and have to back to todays posts, to find it! Weird........

My old company used to have BT Connect. I would say that it worked acceptably well for oh, maybe about 10% of the time!!

I use Freeserve at home and that works okay for 98% of the time.

2 years on BT dial up - no probs.

Totally chuffed orf, going to throw this out in the garden, so it can cool off...

Can anyone sort out pse - will pay...cash/mechanical work from AK/whatever, just want it to do what it should do.

I'm with btopenworld. Only just logged on, home page came up ok... no problems noticed so far.

Fanks BIG TIME to Eamonn, we seem to have sorted most of it out, via the mobile (gosh - I owe you big time mate!!!!)

Outlook still not behaving, but BT site back:D:D happier bunny now - and off to bed.

I just loves the DSC!:D:D
