Hi, Well, I'm not an expert on monitors but I think going for a 24inch model that's priced at £130 isn't likely to be amazing but I guess most modern monitors in this price range will be fine for general use. The tech has matured now and their just churning out monitors at cheap prices. The...

oops:double post...

Hi, So many out there it's tough to choose eh?! I guess you have to consider what resolution your graphics card wil lbe outputting your images at. If you go higher than a 22inch than generally I guess your looking at HD or higher (1920 x 1080). I think most 22 inch monitors will be working...

Hi, Been away for a bit but seems you still have the prob..You said earlier that you had a trial graphics card? You mentioned that getting hold of the drivers would be hard. What card is it? Won't Windows just assign a generic driver for it ?

Hi, When your in safe mode and running windows, can you have a look in the device manager and have a look under display adapters - does it appear to be working normally? It would prob have an exclamation mark next to it if something was wrong...? Does it correctly identify your model of...

okeydoke..and your current set up is exactly the same as when everything last worked as it should? No hardware/software/bios changes? edit: just thought of something (loooong shot) - you dont have an onboard graphics card along with your Geforce one? This hasn't taken priority in the bios?

Hi, Sounds like your graphics card might be faulty?? The fact it starts windows in safe mode (thats 256 colour I believe) is a good pointer and not in normal mode where I guess you have it set to highest?? Maybe the onboard memory of your graphics card is faulty so when you place less...

Great thanks for the info..

Thanks for the answers - I asked these questions as I geniuely wanted to know so I don't appreciate your tone - i'm not here for the fun of it. Anyways... As to installing a new Consumer unit - a local NIC spark said he could just change it and leave everything else but I wanted to find...

Hi, We have bought our first house and the wiring is as old as the property I believe (1975), We were considering a total rewire before actually moving in properly but decided to put it on hold (maybe a few years down the road) as money was tight. Excuse my ignorance in all things...

Thanks chaps!

Thanks wingcoax - just to clarify, when you say the `right side` do you mean 240v or 115v? ta.

Hi, I have a silly question - we've just moved into our first home and in the bathroom we have a shaver socket that has three holes. I want to plug in my electric toothbrush which has a two prong plug but i'd like to check that this is safe first. On the left hole of the socket, it's...

This sounds like a plan - just to add you can also (did this just last night) install Ubuntu to a usb stick (at least 2gb they say but Ubuntu is only 700mb) and make it bootable - this is all detailed at the same place that Synapse linked too...

Hi, Do you normally do all your printing through the Kodak software? Do you have any other photo editing applications? What I sometimes do through Photoshop Elements is manually setup my prints. Inside Photoshop, you have presets for different photo sizes, but it's easy enough to input...
