What program or device are you using when that happens? "Device Monitor" is
not the name of a Windows program or service that I know of.

You should tell us the exact make and model of the computer. "Advent
laptop" is pretty general. The Advent.uk site is not helpful without the
exact model. There are very many.

I find Advent resellers but I don't think I am finding the company's home
page unless it is
http://www.advent.co.uk/.

Can you post the link for the manufacturer's home page or the product
information page for the 7113?

That is probably the one. The OP's IP is somewhere in Great Britain.

Did you notice the left panel though? 'What others are buying' and brands
like Toshiba are also listed. Made wonder. It looks more like an outlet
for refurbs to me.

Never looked. Just wanted to show off my IP-tracking expertise :)

I'll let the secret out:

Get the poster's IP from the message headers and plug it into:

Oh, I already knew he was in the uk. But when you go to the site I linked I
think you will agree that this does not look like a manufaturer's site.
That's why I asked him for a url. I didn't think I had the right one but I
could not Google anything else that sounded right. If you have the time,
take a quick look at http://www.advent.co.uk/ and you'll see where I was
going with my question to the OP.

I went to take a look right after posting about Geotool.

It may not look like a mfr site, but if it isn't... who makes "Advent"
computers?

There is an American site "adventcomputers.com" but they aren't
affiliated with the UK outfit.

The branding on the site is Advent but what is the corporation who makes the
computers? Also there is no search function to find a model and there are
no support facilities. There is advice on what users who also looked bought
but some of the items aren't even Advents. If this is the mfg's site,
support does not look promising. It looks pretty seat-of-the-pants if it is
the mfg.

The advent.co.uk site has "Curry's" at the top.

Check this out (it also has support info for Advent Computers):

major problems with the cursed thing so I uninstalled it and the problem has
gone,except that the Lexmark Fax Solutions will not allow me to
uninstall,there's an error message that reads:
You do not have access to uninstall Lexmark Fax Solutions

You can try uninstalling from an elevated command window. Click on the
start orb and type CMD in the Start/Search box BUT do not hit Enter.
Instead right click on the cmd icon at the top of the menu stack and choose
Run As Administrator. Then type APPWIZ.CPL at the prompt and hit Enter.
That will run the Uninstall a Program with elevated permissions. As long as
you can find the program in the list you should not have the access problem.
