    Then a dialogue box comes up asking for a "keyring", choose any password, confirm it, then the Wi Fi should work.

    This keyring thing was in some old versions of Mint, seems to re-appeared in 18.

    I'm using Mate.
    Dont seem to be getting same. I get the wifi box and there is an icon of 2 people, but you get 3 options, none of which give that with mine. Godamned stupid idea lol.
    Why not just have it as per normal.
    anyways I can run on a cable should I wish but I have to connect the tplink system... Bollox to it, I will stay with 17.3 I think

    Yes it's working on that pen, but wouldn't start on the Philips one, both done same way with universal usb. Must blue something about it that won't let it.

    iPad I had to return to a new unit so lost everything. This backed up so may get info back. Seems to be working now

    Yes, sometimes a particular USB stick is not suitable for booting from, even though it works fine otherwise. I don't know why.

    Seems that's it... I will try and find another one for switching that will work. iPad is now working again. Software must have got corrupted somehow, so had to do a fresh new iPad install. Some stuff was lost, although it's mostly recoverable with time. Just glad it's not, or doesn't seem to be hardware this time.

    Just recovered from a PC attack. My browser was hijacked. I was on Google News and clicked a link to a news item, then the page I'd reached kept opening new tabs and replicating itself continually. Cleaning tools spyware/virus scanners wouldn't function. I restarted in safe mode and did a system restore, followed by a full spyware/virus scan and file cleaning, which now all worked. Seems OK now. I really didn't feel like reinstalling Windows at the moment.
