W10 imploded again.

[Ian Field]

Anyone know what to type into the server entry in WLM2009?

Its virginmedia but the email address is an old ntlworld.com.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks.

I was desperate enough to ask in several places, so the answers will
probably keep coming in for a few days.

This crap never used to happen with XP.

It's a good chance to see whether the solution is consistent among
different sources. Something like the juror system in courts. ;)

Maybe you should check your hardware... HDD failing perhaps?

My XP box just did - it had been getting flaky, but nothing serious. I
decided to delete the boot partition and start over - the installer reported
that formatting the HDD failed. When I get time - a few tests to make sure,
then the bin.

The HDD & PSU are possible suspects on the W10 box - but the new install
appears to be working.

The problem I needed help with - I'd forgotten what to type in the WLM2009
server settings.
