If you're not sure, check the network connection once the cable has been plugged in.If connecting by wireless, make sure the signal strengths are good..What Windows are you using ? Where are you connected at the moment to send this ? from office ? Lets get few more details b4 we continue :) thank you..- Still a Learner :) -

THANK YOU, I'M SORRY FOR THE LONG DELAY, I DIDN'T RECIEVE THIS ALERT UNTIL TODAY. I'M USING WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC ON MY LAPTOP, AND I'M MOVING MY DESKTOP TO THE OFFICE DOWNSTAIRS, WHICH IS A WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM -- MY DESKTOP CAME WITH THE OFFICE SUITE, YET THE LAPTOP I THINK IT WAS A LIMITED TIME THAT I WAS ABLE TO USE THE MICROSOFT OFFICE PROGRAMS LISTED ABOVE.I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW ONE DAY I'M USING THE PROGRAMS, AND A LOT TOO. THEN THE NEXT, I HAVE NO ABILITY TO ACCESS THEM.I AM ONLY ABLE TO USE THE MICROSOFT WORKS TASK LAUNCHER, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE WORKS PROGRAM TO MAKE OR WRITE MY DOCUMENTS, BUT AS FOR WORD, I HAVE NOTHING, EXCEL OR POWERPOINT EITHER, AND THE OUTLOOK EMAIL I ONCE HAD IS GONE TOO....ANY ADVISE OR QUESTIONS THAT I MAY ANSWER TO BETTER FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS STUPID NIGHTMARE.THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.SHERYL
