There is a Win XP compatibility mode in Win 7. What you need to check for is win 7 driver availability because your laptop might not have any if it is more than a few years old. There might be some microsoft drivers at a push.

I am no expert on SSD's and know less about laptops. Laptops will have very limited space available so you would probably have to replace the hard drive with the SSD. You would then have to re-install windows and you would need access to the laptop drivers, saved somewhere where you can...

For around £82.99 you can get a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB which is a better drive. IF you keep an eye open on Amazon that is how much they were selling for very recently but they have risen by a few pounds ATM.

I have perfect 20/20 vision and I have never wore glasses.

http://www.barnsleylockandsafe.co.uk/ Happier now? The previous url was to the BLaS Abloy lock pages, hence the Abloy all over the page. I posted the wrong link by mistake. As here which can be accessed from the left menu at the link above...

Do you care to explain why? A website address can mean anything or could mask or redirect from any site. Barnsley lock & safe have a real address and phone number which is far more than most on ebay give you. Payment can also be by paypal if your that worried so overall, everything is far...

Advocet Eurocylinders are the best. I replaced my eurocylinders for a pair of keyed alike Advocet locks and they cost me just over £70. I got them from the following site a few years ago. £32.99 delivered for the standard lock. http://www.abloyshop.co.uk/avocet-abs-mk3-anti-snap-locks-13-c.asp

Oh ic, it's just the serious posts which trigger email update. lol

I believe that many of Monuments tools are made in Britain. Are their tools fairly well respected? However I might be thinking about Rothenberger tools. The Monument version does not have the wow factor IMO, it looks decidedly British, the Toolstation version looks much better. It just comes...

There are quite a few almost identical adjustables to the Bahco models. £16.01 or £15.79 & £14.65 on ebay delivered http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monument-3141-3141T-Adjustable-Wrench/dp/B00CEW7FFU £13.50 delivered...

They are very different designs. In fact Bahco make a similar product As you can see, because the jaw can be swapped around, it means there is a very wide feed sticking out the side as the jaw opens wider. That is not present on the adjustable spanner. It's only on the multi function...

[/url] The problem that I have with these, is that they seem to be the proverbial jack of all trades.......I only really need an adjustable spanner rather than the extras it has, plus the sticky out bit puts me off :lol:

[/url] I have been through all of those and none helped with my current bathroom taps. I ended having to buy one similar to the following to get the job done. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand+Tools/Plumbers+Tools/Tap+Backnut+Spanner+12+34/d10/sd210/p43996 The Bahco wrenches do seem to be...

Thank you everyone for your replies. I must say that I am a bit surprised, an awful lot in truth, that any professional plumber would use an adjustable wrench. I do already have a few, four I believe, of varying sizes and ages, but there are times when they do not fit confined spaces as...

I would like to purchase a set of open ended spanners for DIY plumbing and would appreciate a list of common sizes that would be most useful. I do already have a few odd & very old spanners, some somewhat rusted that I inherited from my father & grandfather. 1/2 whitworth/BSW x2 plus a few...

[/url] Measure the opening in multiple places in case of variance! Remember to take account of the PVCu sill because that adds to the total height of the window, it's not just the declared window size! The sill can add 30-35mm to the size of the window. Check to find out how much to allow...

I would like some recommendations for PVCu window suppliers in the Midlands (Birmingham). I want two windows, a bathroom and kitchen PVCu windows with two openings on each window. Supply only! Tips on what to look for in terms of build quality and resistance to break ins would be...

Thanks for the input, I do tend to over analyse things so do need grounding on occasion. Your correct, thinking about it, the nuts are only to hold the bracket in place and do not need to be firmly tightened. I will use the M6 threaded bars that I have and cut them to the size needed. Some...

Thanks for the suggestion. The thermal blocks and the radiator will be at the end of the kitchen under a window and the sink etc is on the opposite end/wall. I am considering tiling all around up to level with the kitchen cupboards to keep it all looking continuous. A long kitchen so a lot...

I want to fix a 120cm double panel steel radiator to a thermalight shield block wall and require a secure method of doing that. I want it very secure so it will not need redoing. The wall needs re-plastering because the thermalight blocks are new. I thought about using four threaded anchors...
