    Hi - In the past few days I have been unable to access both BBC News and BBC iPlayer. Each time I get a msg saying 'unable to access this site' despite it having been no problem for years. Any ideas? Thanks

    N8 Belle cannot view BBC News Live with BBC iPlayer

    Further to the above, the BBC iPlayer team say:



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    "We understand that you have been unable to access BBC News live on BBC iPlayer though other BBC channels are working.



    "A recent software update has affected the operation of BBC iPlayer on some phones, please go to the Nokia OVI store to get the licence acquisition update:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    I have so far failed to find anything on Nokia OVi Store relevant to this, using the link, or "Store" or "S/W Update".



    I have BBC iPlayer version 1.0.1 installed.

    There is also WMDRM DLA iPlayer plugin version 1.02(1) installed.

    Wireless mouse "driver is unavailable" issues

    Hi,

    The error Driver is unavailable means that there is no available driver installed for your mouse that’s why it is not working. We suggest that you check the mouse driver from the device manager. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Look for Mice and other pointing devices and click it to expand.
    • Check if there is a driver for the wireless mouse.

    If there is none, we suggest that you visit the manufacturer’s website of the mouse and download then install the latest mouse driver compatible to Windows 10.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.
