    Vectra C 2004, petrol, EML (engine picture) light.

    I believe that if the EML light does not work, it is now an MOT failure. However, I shall check this.

    skhudy, I have now sorted it. I downloaded the HP software, pressed 'start' to install, and it did it all! Test print is fine too. :lol:

    HP wireless printer.

    skhudy, thankyou for reply. When I have the printer's IP address, where do I input that to on my PC? I should add, my bro'-in-law set-up the printer to work from the laptop for me, it seemed a bit fiddly then.

    HP wireless printer.

    I have an HP 110a three-in-one which is wireless only. At present, it is used by one laptop. I wish to now also use it for my PC, which does not have wireless. However, as the PC is connected by cable to the same wireless router which the printer links to, should my PC be able to link to the...

    Orange mobile phone.

    AlanE, the odd thing is, there is £2 credit left on it, and I just made a call from it, no problem. Makes me think the number is still valid, although their website states otherwise.

    Candy fridge-freezer fault.

    My fridge-freezer stopped working, ie, cooling properly, and the diagnosis from our appliance engineer is a 'suspected blocked evaporator', which is not repairable. I was not present to discuss this with him, but since this is part of the cooling circuit, which has had nothing but 'freon' in...

    'Sweetpacks' removal.

    An application called 'sweetpacks' has attached itself to my Chrome browser. It looks to be a bit of a nuisance. I think it downloaded when I downloaded and ran 'PC De-Crapifier', which I do occassionally, but normally with no trouble. Any one know how to remove it please? I have done a...

    Win 7 start-up applications

    My daughter's Toshiba laptop has become slower at start-up over the past three years, and CCleaner reveals many apps.in the 'start-up' list, which I believe slow it down. Is there any way of knowing which ones are essential to leave enabled in this list? I presume, if they are all dis-abled, the...

    Boiler controls - blown fuse

    The system is actually 49 years old, with boiler, pump and controller replaced around 20+ years ago. The HW is gravity, not pumped. Therefore, as the fuse blew in HW mode, I believe the pump would not have been connected. Following my last post here, I put another fuse in, disconnected the...
