Pc switching off when ba and bf live feed running.

I've always used a couple of reputable re-sellers (NOT ebay). There's probably some fly-by-night cowboys but that's not always the case.
I'm NOT making a recommendation

Being out of town I use eBay a lot and except for the very very early period I have never had a problem with any sellers. I think the eBay back-up guarantee has a lot to do with it because if eBay have to bail the seller out they will chase after them to be refunded and that probably puts many of the FbN's off. And I never take anything on a forum as a recommendation, I look upon such help as just a pointer for further research.

I use the 365 subscription service as it gives me 5 installs to help with my travelling and keeps them all up to date with the latest version. I think I pay around £7pm to Tesco.

Is it possible to pay extra to not have the latest version?
But being serious it's the lack of forced updates that makes the lifetime license the preferred option for me.

I pay Microsoft directly, £5.99 a month for Office 365 but I'm not sure how many installs I can have. If it's just one I will have to upgrade as I'll need to stall on my backup computer.

Office 365 doesn't have forced updates. It's switched on by default but you can switch it off on the options page.

Sounds like you may have the "Personal" licence Derek, only allows one install. It's the "Home" licence that allows 5 installs for £7.99pm and if you use a VPS you can use one of your installs there

My 365 must have updated today as it appears I now have different desktop and taskbar icons

They should give you a choice, I preferred the old icons and layout.

... and to think you'll be paying for this again and again for the rest of your lives and having the same gripes again and again for the rest of your lives

Software functionality has already exceded users needs so upgrades don't sell like they once did. The business model needed a change and this is how they'll generate perpetual income from now on. If the shareholders demand bigger dividends, they'll just stick an extra dollar on everyone's bill and the price will creep up and up. Resistance may ultimately be futile but for now I'm digging my heels in over this subscription only stuff.

They've moved the close button on Access forms so now I keep moving my mouse to the wrong place.

Is that the one where it used to be top right corner but in now on the tab? I prefer the tab but it took me ages to not go to the tab as with a browser and just as I got used to going to the corner they move it to the tab!

Yes, I wouldn't have known it but I naturally move my mouse to the top-right to close an Access form, only to find it's not there. I've had a quick look at the option panel but can't find an option to switch it on, so I'd guess they've removed it.

The icons for Excel and Outlook have changed but Access has remained the same so they're not even consistant. Maybe they'll dump a new critical update to change the Access icon.
