e-learning eh?

Yes but I need some information. I have a copy of Bodington on CD the instructions that came with it say place the disk in the drive and then reboot the computer, I have tried this and nothing happens. Does this software have to be run from a server or can it be run from a stand alone computer?

it's probably your boot sequence! you need to change it so the disk drive has priority that will make it boot from the cd instead of your hard drive! you need to enter the bios settings to alter this!

Mine is slow too! (See... we do have something in common! :D )

What do you think to be the problem Monsta? I'm guessing it's something to do with new cables... or maybe the weather?

It depends on the take up of an particular ISP in a particular area, BT sells chunks of bandwidth to an ISP, who sell bandwidth to domestic users....if a bunch of folk have say all gone for Eclipse, your speeds will go down at peak times because all the contingency has been used up by all the other people using the same broadband service as you...i.e. the bit of slack that means that you can get "up to 8Mb" is being used by the other people in your area who you share an ISP with.

Hopefully that makes some sense......

At this juncture, a lesser man* would simply say "Good!". Not me though, I wish you all the best with your ailing computer.
