Thanks Igorian & Happypig for your help.

Thanks for replying Happypig, but I would need something a little more specific. Your link appears to be generic. I can't see anything relating to my problem, but I could well have missed it There's nothing wrong with XP on my computer. I do appreciate your help though.

I would be grateful if someone could give me advice regarding a Hoover washer/drier. The machine is two years old and hasn't been flogged to death, it washes and spins and goes through the cycle but there isn't any heat blowing into the drum to dry the clothes. There wasn't any warning or...

Sorry I didn't post a thank you for your advice. I've been occupied with other things. I committed the careless mistake of NOT pressing the scroll lock TWICE prior to the up and down keys. Thanks to all who helped

Thanks for the reply Igorian. Two out of two is convincing. I'll try it again, but would you please tell me; do you mean to turn the monitor off then on by the term 'Power cycle'. If not please explain
