    Caps lock blinks on startup with HP Compaq 6735S notebook

    I have the notebook mentioned above. When I took it on, the thing rarely booted up and gave several blinks at caps lock when attempting to boot. I replaced a faulty power supply, and a dead battery, and I formatted the Windows Vista OS and replaced it with Windows 7 Ultimate. I updated BIOS...

    another system restore issue.

    I just wondered if, once you got the restore done, did it disable the system restore option at the end? That would explain the no other restore point? I'm stumped here!

    another system restore issue.

    That sounds like it has been disabled? an you check to see if it is enabled after getting the restore done?

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    I think you're right about the 'lazy thermostat' John. Basically I have got it down to a fine art. Start the car, if the thermostat doesn't react, I blast the air con on full power(cold air since the weather is good right now :)) and after a minute or two the thermostat moves up.

    Where am I going wrong? Help please!

    Probably is the drying joints if the ceiling is that big. Also be careful to make sure the roller doesn't leave any 'gather' of paint, as if that happens, and it may have already happened, you will have to smooth it out again(with sand paper or a decorators knife) before you can get a proper...

    another system restore issue.

    This issue seems to be similar to one I found recently on Microsoft forums: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system/system-restore-launches-but-with-blank-screen/3cfce98a-276d-4c37-8557-eb4586595ba3 Hope this helps.

    Where am I going wrong? Help please!

    It is quite hard to tell by those pictures. Are you an experienced painter? I don't want to suggest something that might seem insulting if you are an experienced painter, but if you are an experienced painter then you would have waited for the plaster to dry out completely before painting it...

    Painting Exterior Of House In Satin

    It's gonna be a personal preference really. I much prefer Satin to Gloss finish. It also covers better.

    Painting Laminate

    While I agree that you really should just get it down out of there, you do have other solutions if you really must live with it there. ESP(easy surface prep) claims to prime ANY surface for painting. I have used it twice, once on Melamine and once o a Fridge Freezer. Worked well both times...

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    OK. Well, I may not have found out why this is happening, but I accidentally found out what it seems to be related to. Today, I started the car, heard a noise in the air conditioning, and then, as if by magic, the temperature gauge climbed up to the 90 mark, and stayed there for several...

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    But would this not cause the car/radiator to overheat? What symptoms or problems ca I expect to have considering I've been driving this car for 4 hour roundtrips twice a week!!!!

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    The hose seems firm when the engine is cold. And I checked after starting the car and the have slight movement to suggest water flow. Hard to tell by squeezing but I would guess that liquid is moving through them. So the temperature gauge mystery continues! Like I said, it moved up to the 90...

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    I'll check that today, thanks. There is a rubber hose from the reservoir. I have a 4 hour round trip today. :/ I would have thought that the radiator would overheat and show smoke/steam symptoms if it was empty? I had a 3 to 4 hour round trip on friday and it drove fine?

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    Heater still works fine. I reckon the radiator must be ok, because I drove 4 hours total yesterday without any problems? I reckon if the radiator was empty or anything like that, it would react.

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    Ok, so I checked the oil. Seems perfect. No strange colours. Perhaps a small bit low, but nothing else. The coolant reservoir is now filled to maximum. I had a long drive yesterday. 2 hours. For 95% of the drive the temperature gauge stayed in the lowest position. Early on in the drive, it...

    Temperature gauge and coolant

    Hi Mursal. Thanks for the reply. Heater works ok because this morning it was on. But I'll double check. Maybe the coolant needs to come up a little higher tha minimum to make the 'connection'. Well, that is, assuming that there isn't a leak!

    System restore

    Agree. Sounds like some other problem. You should be able to do system restore from your start menu. However, System Restore will always work better in safe mode anyway.

    Melamine Priming and Painting

    Have Melamine kitchen suite. I wanted to paint them. Primed them first with a Tile and Melamine Primer, which claims to make the surface paintable. Then got a water based Satinwood, which claimed to cover i oe coat, but as usual failed to do so. Gave it the 2 coats and it covered. Only thing is...
