    Ex has accessed my computer, changed passwords including to my laptop

    Thanks for the laugh. The last few weeks have not brought much joy. And for the link. I'll get to it and resetting my router which I hope is the reason I can't send texts on my phone. Thank goodness I had recently taken over the internet payments or I'd have to be communicating by letter...

    Ex has accessed my computer, changed passwords including to my laptop

    Yes, that may be the best thing to do. I've just created a new email with no auto saved password. I've been using some pretty hard passwords, but when he was able to see even the new ones, well, it doesn't really matter how strong they are. Passwords are now on a usb stick. He actually locked me...

    Ex has accessed my computer, changed passwords including to my laptop

    Besides changing passwords, closing accounts, etc, he may have done some nasty stuff to my actual computer.

    back button doesn't work

    Yikes! I don't know how to do that. I can say the key works when it wants to. I can be typing away and suddenly it no longer functions. Maybe I wore it out because I'm dyslexic and make a gazillion errors every day! :)

    back button doesn't work

    I have 7.2. I cannot see anything in software manager about an upgrade, only add-on options. The libreoffice files that I have are ticked. Though I could go to the website and download there which is how I did it the last time. Do you have a link on how I would use timeshift should I need to...

    back button doesn't work

    Sorry, the lightbox isn't anything to be fixed. It's something on a website for people requesting the use of a photograph - IPM images in my case. It's like a shopping cart for photos. I added it here only because it was another anomaly with my computer that I happened to notice.

    sorry, I was referring to being able to access the lightbox feature just last week and now I am unable to open it. Yes, I do have Timeshift and enabled it when I started having the back button issue as I was worried about my computer.
