and the operating system would be Windows right?
That's worrying. It's too easy for Microsoft to establish a monopoly if consumers don't know what they are using. Markets require informed consumers.
If you don't know what you are using, it is almost certainly some version of MS Windows. As it is presumably post Windows 95, launch My Computer, then select the About item in the Help menu. (More detailed information can be obtained by using the Run... item, on the start menu, and entering "winmsd" (there are also GUI ways of reaching this). (I'm not sure if winmsd is still present on Windows Vista.)
The date (month and year) of purchase, and country, for the computer, might also give a clue as to the version, although we'd also need to know whether or not the machine is a netbook.
One of the problems that a third party, and, at least in the case of MSN, unapproved, client has is that the service provider can change the service, to make it incompatible, without warning, however it is interesting that all the problem reports come from people with rather limited computer knowledge.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
