Hi, Over the weekend I disconnected the water supply to my house so that i could fit a new worksurface/sink. I turned the stopvalve back on and....no nothink. I cant hear any water anywhere and hotwater tank is not filling up. The stopvalve is directly under my water meter. Would the...

No nothing connected to com1. It connects at random. Im going to remove the bluetooth drivers and see if that makes a difference.

oh, ok. I have a list of stuff but none say usb: bluetooth dialup networking client 0x16c95x communications port (Com1) Toshiba BT Port (com10) Toshiba BT Port (com11) Toshiba BT Port (com12) Toshiba BT Port (com13) Toshiba BT Port (com3) Toshiba BT Port (com4) Toshiba BT Port...

I dont have access to internet all the time only at work so wont be able to reply promptly. I also wont get access to the pc untill next weekend so cant check the com number yet. There are quite a few usb ports though. from memory i reckon there are 4 rectangular ones on the tower itself and...

Cheers, I'll have a look as soon as i get a chance. The closest I can narrow the problem down to is that if I switch the pc on, then quickly remove the modem usb cable and plug it straight back in, the success rate of connection is considerably higher. Could there maybe be a fault with...

Perhaps I should expand more on my posts. :) What I meant was, that I took off the extension lead, dragged the pc downstairs and put the filter straight into the wall socket. Going to throw pc out window later, might fix it.

'Trouble' is mine, and not because I am. :) It seems to have gone away now. I turned the thermo right down to 0 in the outbuilding and turned it up in the hallway. The heating and water now seem to come on, on demand. (We'll see tonight when i get home and the house will be boiling ofcourse!)

I think my tread has just been hijacked!!!! Anyway, I do have a quite complex arrangement around the tank so i'm gonna post a picture of it later today. I'll also do some more tests to see if the valves do shut. But to be honest, not even sure what im looking at. cheers for all the help R

It is broadband/adsl but the connection manager software reports that it cannot establish a connection/no dial tone detected message. Also tried to connect without a phone plugged in so modem straight to wall socket but same problem. The modem is a Thomson Speedtouch 330, which shows 2...

Thanks for your response. I have 2 modems which give the same problem and re-installed the software about 5 times and not using a router. The other thing wrong with the pc is that the cmos battery appears to be faulty as it sometimes resets the bios. But that cant be related can it...

A friend of mine uses tiscali broadband with a supplied modem that connects to a usb port and to the phone socket. Intermitently, (?) windows cant get a dial tone from the modem. Plugging it into a different usb port (in back of pc) sometimes solves it but on a restart, this new usb port...

Hi everybody, I recently moved into a house and last week the central heating came on and never turned off. The only way to turn it off is by turning the thermostat right down. The water does turn on by demand but the CH is taking no instructions from my programmer. When setting the CH to...
