      Hello Roger.              23 Mar 14 11:28, you wrote to me:               RN>> My son-in-law's system did the same thing a day after mine.               RN> My current state of Repair Online with my son-in-law's machine did not        RN> work. It hung at 90% around 2100 hours last night and at 0530 hours        RN> this morning, it was still sitting at that per centage. And so, I        RN> decided to uninstall and reinstall it and am at 90% again with a        RN> message stating I have a slow connection, so it may take some time,        RN> which is ridiculous because our connection is VDSL at 100Mbps. When I        RN> run a program (Word 2013, for instance) a box pops up to activate the        RN> program and faults at connecting to the server.               RN> I'm probably going to have to call them. I didn't have that problem        RN> two days ago.              I had another client contact me over the weekend. His system did the same        thing. The repair function didn't work, so he atempted       to uninstall office 2013. That failed as well, so he went searching the        microsoft website, and founx a "Mr fix it" tool, that       allowed him to uninstall office.              He has since installed office again.                                          Stephen              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5        * Origin: Dragon's Lair ---:- bbs.vk3heg.net -:--- (3:633/280)    |
