Is it just me...?

[Julia]

or do you hate it too when someone fiddles with your dongle? My son who is now mobile has just made off with mine twice! [disgust]

[connieb19]

You shouldna leave your dongle dangling where your son can reach it Julia. :eek:

[Dusty]

It's a well known fact that a dangling dongle's dangerous! ;)

[connieb19]

It's a well known fact that a dangling dongle's dangerous! ;)Do you let yours dangle then Dusty?
:Razz

[Julia]

well normally it would be hanging round the back but this one sticks out at the front, it's pretty much saying 'come and grab me'!

[angela5]

I'm pretty sure any dongle left dangling will be grabbed.:D

I do hope that you are not presuming to answer connieb19 on my behalf Julia! [lol]

Julia, I used to but my dongle is old technology nowadays and isn't normally used, far less allowed to dangle. I really should think about updating the software I suppose.

[TBH]

Julia, I used to but my dongle is old technology nowadays and isn't normally used, far less allowed to dangle. I really should think about updating the software I suppose.I think you may indeed need your dangling dongle upgraded.

[Dusty]

Yea TBH, truth be told, there is probably quite a bit I could be doing with new drivers for.

[angela5]

Any dongle should be upgraded, you never know when it'll be dangling and you sure want to be proud of it when it is.:D

[connieb19]

Yea TBH, truth be told, there is probably quite a bit I could be doing with new drivers for.Have you tried pulling it out, blowing on it and sticking it back in again? :D

[TBH]

Yea TBH, truth be told, there is probably quite a bit I could be doing with new drivers for.So you think it maybe a soft-ware problem?

[Julia]

Or you could just rub it on your trouser leg to give it a wee clean

[connieb19]

Or a wee bit of spit and give it a rub? :confused

[karia]

Don't doubt darn dratted dangling dongles deserve detaching..don't dare do Dusty!;)

[Julia]

Or a wee bit of spit and give it a rub? :confused

You can't spit on a dongle! :eek:

[connieb19]

You can't spit on a dongle! :eek:How about a lick then? :confused

[Dusty]

Thanks folks for your concern and suggestions.
At one time or another I have tried most of the solutions you offer but to no avail. I have suffered everything from crashes while rubbing it on my trouser leg to a hard drive failure after taking it out and trying to put it back in.
I have toyed with the idea of purchasing a more modern replacement but I am advised that the original casing would not do justice to it, and the power supply could well be overstreched as well.

Now that's a silly question!
