First thing you do is slow down and decide to write properly, using sentences, full stops and the best spelling you can manage, so that we can read your comments more easily. Get rid of all those silly dots that make my eyes bleed!

Your typing suggests you're probably in too much of a hurry and prone to make mistakes :)

Second thing you do is take the time to read and understand out Read this First topic, and follow the instructions in there.

If the machine won't post correctly in the 'Bare bones' configuration mentioned we can work on the core elements of your system to get them right.
