Simon

The odd thing is that I have exactly the same software downloaded on to the Samsung Netbook as the main PC. Both have CCleaner and Avast as the AV programme. I did think it could be CCleaner but that only comes into operation when I actually call it into action, it doesn't 'optimise settings' unless I make the command, between this operation (several days) I lose the log in 'lock'.

Basically, all that is on the desktop PC is on the Samsung Netbook. It is something very simple (you know what I mean?) that is causing the problem but what it is

I would say that the way to go is shrug the old shoulders and carry on with enjoying this lovely summer (so far!). Let's face it, all I have to do, on the desktop at least, is make an extra click! Not a problem within the big picture.

Many thanks for your efforts

(for that is what it is)

CCleaner can be set to clear cookies automatically. I wonder if one machine has a different CCleaner setting to the other? Just in case it is that, how about (in CCleaner) going to Options > Cookies, and add the idnetters.co.uk cookies to the Cookies to Keep list?

It would be nice to get to the bottom of it for all that, Q. Do you have any different addons in Firefox?

Stand by, I am on the case as we type!

Rik · May 31, 2009, 18:40:50

I can't stand and type at the same time.

quandam · May 31, 2009, 18:49:05

By George, I think he's got it!

IDNetters URL was listed as 'don't keep'. Now transferred to 'keep' list and hopefully

Will keep you posted as to progress from now on.

Rik, I always thought you were multi functional and could deal with standing and typing at the same time, it just goes to show how wrong you can be!

Simon · May 31, 2009, 19:07:38

We live in hope, Q!

Sebby · Jun 01, 2009, 00:06:24

Indeed...

Lance · Jun 01, 2009, 00:15:35

I can do standing and eating at the same time

Hopefully your problem will now be solved, quandam!

Rik · Jun 01, 2009, 09:26:27

I'm with Lance, Q, standing and eating is fine, but reaching the keyboard is a strain.

quandam · Jun 01, 2009, 09:51:40

Yes, it has been solved.

Thanks for sticking to the task guys, I must admit I was on the point of giving up but your tenacity finally solved the problem.

Rik · Jun 01, 2009, 09:53:54

Once we get our teeth in...

Simon · Jun 01, 2009, 10:26:56

I thought we'd get there in the end!

J!ll · Jun 01, 2009, 15:04:31

I don't have CCleaner

Rik · Jun 01, 2009, 15:24:00

What do you have though, Jill? Have you tried a second machine yet?

J!ll · Jun 01, 2009, 15:27:13

Not yet, need to ask son

Avast, SuperAntiSpyware

Rik · Jun 01, 2009, 15:27:51

Do the second machine check. If that's OK, then it's a setting on your machine.

J!ll · Jun 01, 2009, 16:30:13

OK, will do

would be nice to find out what it is!

Rik · Jun 01, 2009, 16:40:13

It would, but it will be a process of elimination.

J!ll · Jun 01, 2009, 17:11:24

As usual

quandam · Jun 01, 2009, 19:04:40

Jill

Everything here now ticking over nicely

Stick with the chaps, it will get sorted

CCleaner was my problem and undoubtedly you will have a very similar situation. Keep the faith! (I know how difficult that can be)
