    RL, I carried out a Windows 10 Media CreationTool 1809. Windows 10 was originally installed with Microsoft Free Offer. Regards with the Modem, it was supplied by Virginmedia HUB 3.

    Bobby, the latest W10 is Version 1903. Wasn't that available to Download using the M C T?
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
    This link will enable the latest version 1903 to be installed on your PC by selecting what you want to do.
    You can use the Update now button or Download the ISO and follow the instructions to Mount - use a Flash drive or burn to DVD.

    RL, Checked system, shows that 1903 is current version installed in my computer. Contacted Virginmedia regarding the error, and as usual, they messed about the fault was with my Modem. I told them that Hub 3 was supplied by them. After a few minutes longer messing about, was informed that a minor fix carried out. I knew this would turn out to be a lot of porky, as my next bootup proved to be the case. Virgin is a master in ridding you off their backs and only interested in new customers or those upgrading to a costier deal.
    RL, is spell checker no longer available on BBS?

    I have not been aware that there was a spell checker in our program. Maybe Arie could enlighten us.

    Accessing WindowsBBS with Firefox any word I type which is incorrectly spelt is underlined in red - right clicking on word gives correction options.

    e.g. retiredlearner is underlined in red in the quote above as is the UK spelling of colour.

    For Firefox users see ....

    I really thought, that BBS had a spell check, as at times to be honest my spelling can be wanting. I never have used Chrome or Firefox, but in BBS thought till recently, any mispelled type word was underline in Red. I fullu realise that one's brain can play tricks, and this one instance appears to be the case. Will have to use my old trusty dictionary in my future Postings..

    After checking WindowsBBS in both IE and Edge I can confirm that with standard settings (I use neither browser) spelling mistakes are not underlined in red. No doubt there is a facility/add-on for each browser to give a spell check.

    PeteC, tried your suggestion for Spell check settings in Edge, and some configuration adjustments carried out, results is certainly what is required. I now notice, as I type this Post, a caption is shown with Spelling and Suggestion's and best is by clicking the correct Word, it automatically corrected my misspelled word's. It appears to be working for me on BBS. Thank you for solving my Posting.

    Bobby, as many members have stated in the past, Modems are nearly always left switched on. I only turn mine off when I go on holiday or need to do a Reset.
    The WiFi on my cellphones require this so that I can save my Data usage when I'm within range around the home.
    My mum used to have the same thoughts about wall plugs, but you need to know exactly what appliance needs power these days as many medical life-saving devices need electricity all the time.
    Obviously Virgin Hubs when left powered on do not give the error message which has worried you.

    Thanks Pete for pointing out where spellcheck is installed.
