    You're very welcome for any help I can give - I don't know a huge amount, not really, but what I know, I'll share :rotfl:

    Its true, unfortunately, CBC, about the technical skill - unless you have a rellie under 40 or so who knows this stuff? I was wibbling about it all, and my youngest nephew literally plucked my phone from my hand, and set it up perfectly. My niece does the same :)


    Finally, a task for the holibobs thats almost effortless - backing up the computer :D no more scans before I go, so its a good time to back up.

    I've really come on here to pick your brains about computer storage. I know you scan loads of documents and photos and assume you either use an external hard drive or USB flashdrives. Maybe you use The Cloud (which I have to admit I haven't a clue about:o). I keep getting a message on my laptop that I'm low on memory:eek: and that's just in general use. I haven't downloaded much at all. I needed a laptop urgently when my old one died and bought all I could afford at the time which was a very low-end basic machine without much storage/memory:eek:. I can't afford a new laptop so need to upgrade the current one. Any advice would be very much appreciated:A

    Okay Dr Witch wants to know the specifications of your laptop/computer, he does say that Low Memory shouldn't be anything to do with storage.

    Dr Witch would like to know the model of CPU, CPU speed, how much RAM and how large is the hard drive (also what operating system are you using?)

    Sorry to hear about all your frustrations Karma - they may be minor, but it's still frustrating nevertheless.

    Well done KW and DrW - I'd have been able to contribute that low memory isn't storage space, but then I'd have been stuck.... would have referred you to PC World/Currys support.
