Not 100% on the first one but the second one I know is 1 per household.

Thanks for that. I thought it was. x

Sorry to bump but I wonder if anyone who has the Samsung r519 can help. My kids have been playing games on the laptop from citv, cbeebies etc which was fine at first but now the laptop wont open links. I can get the first page on but if there is a link in that page it wont open when clicked on it. I have tried running a scan but to no avail & I even called the support line today but they didn't get back to me. Can anyone help please? TIA

will the link open if you right click on it?

No I tried that too. It has the round blue swirly thing that looks like its running and then it stops, but not the green run bit at the bottom of page, (IYSWIM) so its as if something is blocking all links from opening. We've only had it a couple of weeks so it hasn't used up all disc space neither. Kids did run a disney pc game on it though, could this have anything to do with it? (Sorry, I'm technology illiterate! )

have u tried a system restore , sometimes buttons on pc's get pressed and u aint got a clue how or were , i often do a system restore if all else fails ...dont always fix it but can be useful
go to start , type in syste restore u will get a page up select to show previous or more restore dates and take it back to the earliest

yeah, i suppose your right. but i saw a really nice one in comet for £529 4G samsung, i don't need the bag as there is no chance in hell i'm letting the kids take it anywhere with them, if you buy a pc you can get a package of - a printer - usb stick - laptop bag and mouse for £45.

i would have liked to spend the whole allowence on a top of the range laptop, that will stand the test of time until my youngest does his exams.
and i would have paid out of my own pocket for a landline broadband, so you can download as much as you need.
not sure how much 36G is.

i dont really understand 36g meself lol but this is how i got to that conclusion lol
what i thought was the mobile modem dongle says on the box
max 3gb per month , its a prepaid dongle for 12 months , thats how i got the 36gb but tbh i dont know

Could be just the connection, and try a re-boot pc's are funny things.
