Brilliant Chris, thanks for clearing that up. If I still can't get it
to work; I'm going to the UK early December so I will take this laptop
with me and get my son-in-law, who is a computer programmer, to sort
it out for me. He, like my husband, prefers to do this stuff himself
rather than advise, such old fashioned men; I'm trying hard to bring
them into the 21st Century :-)

Why don't you get your husband to set it up for you?

Martin, I have to make an appointment to see my husband at the moment,
he has started lecturing at the hospital. Also, I suppose, I wanted
to show him I could do it. LOL that didn't work though.

The message
from Anne Welsh Jackson contains these words:

I think the operative word in Judith's post is "was"? She is not longer
with Demon, which is why several people told her she would no
longer be able to use Turnpike...

Which is, as I understand it, incorrect?

As you know, to use Turnpike while not with Demon requires a Universal
Licence. Such may still be purchased, but comments on demon.service
suggest that the it is now prohibitively expensive. Confirmation can be
found at

Well, I didn't, but as I don't use Turnpike, I wouldn't, innit.

The message
from Judith in France contains these words:

Goodness knows Rusty, the problem is I am not competent, I admit it, I
won't pretend to be adept with all this stuff. The senior techie at
the hospital told me I didn't need to be with Demon as I had a
Universal Licence. He said just download the free edition of Turnpike
and it would work. It didn't. I could, if I spent some time on it,
probably work out what is going wrong. However, Google will do for me
as newsgroups are useful but not that important in my life. Google
leaves an awful lot to be desired, but as I said earlier, it's no big
deal. I can still read urg, so I'm happy. If I ever find out how to
do something different, as my good friend Martin is always advising
me, it will be a bonus, but for now, it's not high on my agenda,
gardening is and how to protect, adequately, my tender plants is more
important. Night Rusty..

You can install Turnpike wherever you choose, but if you are upgrading
then Turnpike should pick the existing installation
And you can point it at any drive you choose to hold the news and mail
bases.


It won't take me to the drive I need, it only gives the option under
Networks, other machine, C drive. Will not show other drives that i know
i should be seeing.

Can you not map a network drive to a drive letter?

This sounds more like a Windows issue.

When you use the 'browse' button in the Turnpike 'Paths' dialogue it
just calls up the standard Windows dialogue for browsing a to a folder.
If you can see the folder on the other computer in Windows then it
should be accessible here as well.

If it isn't listed directly under Network Places (XP) can you browse to
it via the Workgroup Computers route?

Ca you map a network drive on your computer to this folder?

If you'd followed this thread from the start you would see it was
because some of us could not get this group.

Well David seemed to imply that other machines on a network should be
assigned a drive letter, or rather that's what I understood him to mean,
when in actual fact the other machines are accessed by
my network places, then Tom's c, Tom's t, Jan's c and laptop c, however
if i try to choose the Tom's computer for the path for emails etc., I
cannot get the option to select t drive only the c drive with the
Turnpike installation on my computer. The emails etc. are on the t drive
but I have no other way of forcing turnpike to look there. It just sulks

never mind it was all worth a try and for a minute i thought I'd cracked
it and would be able to see newsgroups and received mail on another
computer on the network.


Thanks for helping Chris.

Well, ask in a relevant thread. (And a less insistent whine)
