Victorian Dreamer, 

What a lovely job you have made of the photograph,  how do you change the background like that, what photo editing programme are you using?  I have put a message on the board asking for advice on photo editing because my computer crashed recently and I bought a new tower and the photo editing programme is useless, the cloning tool is awful and I use that quite a lot on old photos.  I want to buy a new one (or better still download a free one) but don't know which one.

I hope you don't mind me posting this message, my computer crashed recently and I lost the programme I used to use for editing my pictures, I think it was called photo impressions.  I don't know where it came from, I think the guy that repaired the computer once put it on to replace my own programme.  The programme with my new compute is called Coral and it isn't very good.

I have tried the discs that came with my husband's Olympus digital camera but it doesn't have a cloning tool which I use quite frequently to smarten up old photographs.  Has anyone got any  advice on a not too expensive, or better still 'download for free' programme I could use.

Thanking you all in anticipation. Thought you would be the best people to ask 'cos you do some good work on old pictures on this thread.

Phising (or fishing as it is pronnounced) is an email scam in which someone pretends that they represent a company like a bank and asks you to enter your account number and password on the security page of a fake website.

I wouldn't give details via an email, it was just the fact that my password wasn't recognised to access my emails that worried me.

Thanks anyway

Hello everyone, just reading your comments on virgin.net.  I have had the same problem, I hadn't been online from 1.10 and when I tried to access my emails last Tuesday,(7.10?) virgin kept throwing the username/password page back at me.  When I switched my computer on that day I got an update, "cleaning your disc space, etc. message" which I let run through and then when I tried to use Outlook Express, which downloads my virgin mails it kept throwing up a message that my password wasn't recognised.  I switched users on my desktop and successfully downloaded my husbands emails without any problem.  After 2 days of problems I sent an email to customer support at virgin and got a reply saying that they were experiencing problems with their webmail which they hoped would be repaired within the next 12 hours.  Everything is o.k. again now but I am confused that I could download my husbands emails on the same desktop (he is a second user on my virgin broadband account.)  We have Sky TV and I am considering going with them for broadband and phone, I am paying £14.99 a month to virgin for their lowest broadband option and am on BT option 1 with my telephone.  Any comments on this idea?

Five minutes will be saved in the registration process.
Relatives of the Deceased can anticipate signing a computer generated sheet at the Register Office, which will contain the last personal details of their loved ones.

My father died in 1999 and the registrar entered the details into a computer and printed off the certificate.

My daughter married in 2001 but they did sign a register.
