I chanced upon a PC today with CurrantBun.com as the ISP. Here's the text of the help file: *********************************************** HANG ON, I'M CONFUSED... A. What is CurrantBun.com? B. I don't understand the set-up options. C. What is Internet Explorer? WHAT SHOULD I DO IF..... D. I cannot get the CD to go into my computer. E. The CD is whirring in my computer but I cannot see anything happening on my computer screen. F. My computer will not load the Internet Explorer software. G. An error message appears when the Internet Explorer software is loading. H. I get an error message that is headed "General Protection Fault" and my computer stops working. I. I am unable to register for CurrantBun.com. J. I have a problem NOT listed in these Help files. K. I need to uninstall the CurrantBun software. *********************************************** Here's the answer to problem D: *********************************************** D. I cannot get the CD to go into my computer Stage 1: Open the Compact Disc drive on your computer by pressing the button with the small arrow. The CD drawer should slide open. If it does not slide open, check your computer is fully switched on; then check the manuals/documents that came with your computer; ultimately, ring the helpline number that the retailer/manufacturer supplied with that documentation. Stage 2: If it does slide open, check you have the CD the right way up. The label should be facing upwards. Check that the CD sits comfortably in the drawer - do not force it. Press the button with the small arrow again and the drawer should slide shut. If it will not shut then the CD is not sitting in the right position and you need to re-adjust it. If it still will not shut then refer to the documents and ring the helpline as outlined in Stage 1. *********************************************** Do you think this says something about Sun readers, or do you think the author had his tongue in his cheek? I'm sure there's room for a little creative thought here, possibly suggesting an answer or two for some of the problems. 8o) regards, Dave. -- 100% Original digital & silver-based photos Unique 3D rendered images + Herb animation http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/david.henniker/
