Had to double check, but here's how to enter the programming mode that works on my Miele Diamante Plus: 1) Make sure door is closed and unit is off. 2) Press and hold the Start button, press and release the power button (turn on). 3) Release the Start button, then press Start five times, and hold it in on the 5th time. 4) The Start LED should be flashing very fast, release the Start button. You are now in the programming mode. To make a selection, you have to press the Delay Start button a set number of times (see below). The Rinse and Hold LED will flash the number of times equaling the programming mode. Each shot flash = 1, long flash = 10, so if you press the Delay Start button 20 times for Extra Hot Water, the Rinse and Hold LED will do two long flashes. Then to turn one of these programs on or off, you press and Start button, which will flash the Rinse LED (not to be confused with Rinse and Hold LED). No flash means that program is off, 1 flash means it is on. So for example, after completing the 4 steps above to enter into the programming mode, press the Delay Start 20 times, and the Rinse and Hold LED will flash two long times, then press the Start button once and the Rinse LED will flash to indicate the Extra Hot Water mode is on (If you press Start again, the Rinse LED turns off to indicate that mode is off). Then press Delay Start 3 times and the Rinse and Hold LED will flash two long times and three short times (23), press the Start button to turn on or off the Extra Hot Water mode. Press Delay Start 3 more times and the Rinse and Hold LED flashes two long and six short (26), press Start button to turn on or off the Extra Interim Rinse. Press Delay start one time for two long flashes and seven short (27), then press the Start button to turn on or off the Improved Drying. For me, I have 20 off, and 23/26/27 on. 20 times = Extra Hot Water 23 times = Extra Water 26 times = Extra Interim Rinse 27 times = Improved Drying

In my many times trying the AppRemover... it mostly doesn't work, especially in xp. It either cant find anything.. or it says it did and asks reboot now... and doesn't remove the folders and their contents, and leaves some keys too. Think it does find mostly the AppData Have used it and seen that too many times in way too many computers. Wish it was reliable, would make life simpler for me than searching each time for the right dang uninstall tools.

Yes,I've rebooted.I went to where I get SafeMode & entered "Start normal" PC seems to be functioning OK.No more "shut downs",blue screens. Desktop looks better.Now need to get icons a tad larger.But side bar is in correct proportions.It was way off. This forum looks pretty normal.Gmail is wonky.Home page is strange.Facebook looks pixelated. I will do what Mikey suggested after morning walk.When this thing isn't right it drives me nuts! On desktop there is a white border at bottom that wasn't there before. Thanks for help.Will be back later. rose

lol, He installed to see if it would do the same when using it. Which it has not. Yes, does go to that start up mode. Windows would just boot & reboot, but Linux would open. Yesterday after posting this, we checked the connections and cleaned. Was surprise how much dust was in there from a cleaning done 2 weeks ago.... After that we had to wait for the battery to reset, the computer was on but nothing showed on screen. Today-deleted master boot record, recreated the partition table, repartitioned the drive & reinstalled windows. Haven't done any updates or installed anything but windows is working at the moment...Not sure if symptoms are going to reappear. Holding off on the updates and will begin installing that & programs one at a time. Well, will keep updated. Feel free to chime in or comment on anything at anytime. Juanita
