Re: Favorites
Thanks Frank, for trying to help. Actually, I did find the answer myself.
MSN said , they are aware of this problem, and have their techs. working on a
solution right now. So, I have to be patient..
Another tech, on this discussion group , asked why I put this problem on the
mail page. Give us newbies a break !! I didn't realise there were different
pages. also another tech. mentioned peoples spelling mistakes or use of
capitals. Again, give us a break. When people are stressed out ,they tend
to make mistakes ! And believe me this computer stuff is sressful !!
Unless of course you are a guy, and this is your hobby !! It ain't mine (
yes, I deliberately made that mistake ).
