Just to clarify, we have tried turning the router off and unplugging it for 15 minutes and then restarting it. That didn't fix the problem. I am aware the a hard reset may be required, but will I be able to find the Network after a hard reset and will the password work?

My friend's home WiFi works fine with her smartphone and her Smart TV. However, her tablet won't connect to it and her Desktop PC won't connect to it either. We have tried the tablet and the Desktop on the neighbours WiFi and they connect fine to the neighbours WiFi. When I try to connect with...

That didn't fix it but it was good to learn something new. The work around doesn't take long so i will have to stick with that.

I think this is a hardware issue. I have a generic desktop tower PC here. It's a little bit old but the specs are enough to run windows 10. I installed windows 10 Home and Activated it. All drivers were fine. There is no wireless adapter in the tower and so I connected a realtek RLT8188CU...

I had my 2002 seat ibiza for a while now. When I bought it, the key fob wasn't working. I had a few days off and some spare time, so I decided to change the battery of the fob. It is a simple procedure and so it turned out. I swapped the battery out and tried the fob on the car. The 'LOCK'...

Thanks John. That tool looks interesting in that it can 'grab' the plug too. Might well be the answer!

It worked twice before with the same size socket. The thing that is confusing me is that the 14mm normal sized socket, which is too wide in diameter to get into the plug bay is what the shops want to sell me when I tell them my car model and what plugs I use. And if I take a new plug and place...

Tried a thin walled Wrench. Still can't get the old plug out. Don't know if it's seized as it just seems to pierce and kill the rubber inside the wrenches. I've gone through 3 now with no luck. I'll either need to drop it in to be done or if I buy a magnetic wrench, will that work?

What I did to solve this was to run task manager, and untick all startup options and all non microsoft running services. That solved it. When I have a bit more time, I will tick each one individually until I find the culprit. Thanks for the reply.

Computer lags and stops responding for long periods in all browsers(firefox, chrome and IE), mouse stops responding. I have tried system restore. No change Malwarebytes. No change Avast scan. No change. Mouse driver update. No change. Is this a virus or something? I've placed this in the...

Nevermind, I got it sorted. I logged in with the email and password, then I went to settings and chose customise. From there I was able to disconnect the current login user, and setup a new way to login. I simply chose admin with no passwords and that has worked. It may help someone else down...

I have a Chuwi Vi8 Tablet which has hardly even been used. I want to sell it, but to logon the the tablet, I am required to enter my email address and a password. I would prefer to eliminate any email/password login, or at least change it to a new email address that I don't use or something...

Thanks John. I'm a bit confused though. It really looks as though the 14mm socket won't get into the plug bay, even if it has a thin wall. The magnetic ones are a bit expensive. Maybe when I change my car I can get one of those. I was hoping to change car early in the new year. So we'll see.

Update. So I went to Halfords and I bought a new (cheap) spark plug wrench. They told me a 14mm would be the correct size. I had my doubts as to whether it would fit in to take the old plug out though. It did fit perfectly around the 'NUT' part of the Spark Plug, but my suspicions were proven...

Hi John. Thanks for the reply. You may recall me telling you that the plug wouldn't go in very far and the conclusion was that perhaps the threads in the cylinder were on their last legs. So we got it in as far as we could and the car started and sounded well. And so now, I've just killed the...

So, I replaced a spark plu two months ago, and all was fine, and now, here I am getting the symptoms of a failing plug again! This will be the third time I've replaced it in about 7 months. I suppose the cylinder could be on the way out? I am going to replace the plug today to make sure that it...

3 years old isn't that old. What processor is in it? If it's an i3, i5 or i7, then I doubt it's the problem? A dual core processor with 4GB of RAM, like my work laptop does sometimes slow down and miss letters if it's been on for a lot of hours, working. But if the computer feels laggy in...

That's the one!! :) Let's hope anyway!

Thanks John. Bosch WR7D+ is the plug I've just put in. The previous one was Bosch too, but I don't remember the exact number. All I know is the guy in the motor store gave me that one when I told him the make and model of the car.

I've used both bootcamp and parallels and I found Parallels worked better for me. Having said that, it still wasn't without it's annoying problems. Never tried VirtualBox but have heard good things about it.
