Well the blurb on
the website was impressive and the promises would make the world a better
place.
So now after a week
and five installs where am I?
Well I have a new
modem, not that there was anything physically wrong with the old one
though.
I can occasionally
actually make it dial-up, but only now and then though - tempting it with a new
connection sometimes helps.
Every so often when
it does decided to dial-up it might even connect, but let me actually see the
world outside - now we're in the realms of fantasy.
Edit the settings
you think - we have a solution to that - now it won't even attempt to dial up as
you've opened the window, you don't even have to change
something.
Read the manual or
search the web I hear you say. Well the manual is great if everything goes the
way it's supposed and Sherlock Holmes wasn't available to deduce some sense from
the net articles and I'm sure they'll be out of date by the time I've studied
for a PhD in computer science.
So the solution -
re-install windows
Time taken to get
back to what I want - c. 2 hours
The extra things I
wanted - well I lived without them in the past, I'll
survive.
