A mysterious warning message

-

My pop-up message says something about something not being supported and will end soon. As this is a rare popup message, I don’t ever get time to finish reading it. It’s worrying – I don’t know who it is sent by and I never know what to do. Carol Wade

In all likelihood, you don’t need to worry about this. It’s probably just a warning from an app that you are using an old version of something and the developers will soon no longer be offering technical support for problems with that version.

Pop-up messages normally wait for you to click OK before they close, but you can always hit ç+ß+3 to capture a screenshot (which is saved to your desktop). Try to do this the next time your mysterious message pops up and send it to me, and I’ll be able to give you more specific advice on what – and whether – you need to upgrade.

 ??  ?? Any pop-up warning worth its salt will wait for you to acknowledg­e it before it disappears.
