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

Yes, I even tried that (well at least i'm sure I did!) Will try another one, suppose it cant do any more harm.

hi, we have an income of under 16,000 but we get child and working tax credits. We have 2 children at school/collage. Does anyone know if we qualify??? One of them is in year 9, so need to sort out asap.

many thanks

You need child tax credits only not working tax credits, unsure how you have both, or even if you can?
