Hey John, Thanks for that advice. How do I pull out that plug? (What implement needed?) Cheers, RS

I just bought a new set of Philips Multilife 1.2 V NiMH rechargeable batteries (AA). They're 2600 NiMH. Thing is, I really wanna maximize the use of these, and get as many years of use out of 'em as poss. My last set of rechargeables had a disappointing lifespan. I've heard that correct...

Ok folks, next question -- my oven's seal has torn off on several parts. The oven's now in its 8th year of use. Is that rubber seal easily replaced, and how is it done? I've already removed the inner door of the oven, to clean the grease off that, and that involved removing several screws...

At the back of my Siemens bar-fridge, water is constantly building-up at the back of the fridge where there's a channel with a pinky-finger sized hole in the centre. This means that there's a regular puddle of water inside the fridge, under the vegetable-bin. Every now and then, I've cleared...

Hey folks, I have Norton IS 2006 on my PC right now. The 1-yr's membership has now expired. I've got a few Qs, and would appreciate answers and opinions to guide me -- thanks!: 1) Is F-Secure IS 2007 any good? (Thinking of changing brands for my new IS program.) 2) Are all Norton...

Thanks Igorian and IJ for your input -- much appreciated and now I'm better informed! Cheers, RS :D

Hey folks, My hard drive's now caput. (Luckily, it's under warranty.) When the new 160 GB replacement comes from the manufacturer, I was thinking of getting 160 GB or 320 GB more added, in the available slot inside the tower drive. Should I also increase my tower drive's memory, to 1 GB...

Ok, I tried to get into BIOS last night, but it was a no-go. When starting up the PC, I tried numerous things. (CTRL+S many times -- that didn't work; then I restarted the PC, and hit DEL DEL DEL DEL, etc., but still didn't get into BIOS. I've also hit F6, and F1, but still it doesn't help.)...

Hey folks, Thanks for the replies -- but can can someone please let me know why, in the first instance, before I did a low-level format, when I used the XP CD drivers were actually installed, but however no hard drive was detected, so pressing R for recover was unsuccessful? For now, I'll...

Folks, Having probs here. Plz help! I'm revisiting this issue. Last night, after a long delay in getting this matter sorted, I did the "Auto.fix file systems Check" thingy, but still I can't get access to my desktop. Actually, folks, the situation's gotten worse. I also tried accessing the...

The manual says simply hook into a USB port, and that thereafter Data Traveller II Plus will be displayed in the "My Computer" utility as a "Removable Disk." Well, this isn't happening. Please advise asap! Cheers, RS :wink:

Hi Yarn, Thanks for the info. You asked for more specifics. I have a Benz chassis 126, and plan to fix its faulty cruise control system. First off, I want to know where the bug originates. I've been told to measure the resistances of all the five resistors on the code plug circuit, and that...

Thanks for the reply. Ok, I need to see if there's any continuity in my car's cruise control connector/wires/whatever -- I'll then know what to solder. (As an aside, I also want to see if there are any shorts on my modded Xbox before I hook it up.) Advice, again, will be much appreciated! /RS

Noob here, and totally green at continuity measurement, etc. Sorry. :shock: Anyways, I just bought a digi multimeter, and would appreciate safety guidance on its use. 1) If I were to test continuity, amps, whatever, with the multimeter, for instance under a car hood context, is it safe to...

Hey folks, And thanks for the replies. The situation is that I have a wininet.dll file prob. I just downloaded Nero 6.6, but cannot open the prog, because of the wininet.dll file. So I can't format my CD-RW yet, gees :(. Plz let me know what to expect from Nero 6.6 -- is that...

Thanks, Softus, for the tip -- I just checked out my Nero Vision Express 3 program, and, yes, disk info was there under "MORE". I'll use this disk info resource in future, for sure! Cheers, RS :)

Can anyone help? I just checked Easy CD Creator's website, and thru Google, but have found no free shareware for it. I guess I need to format my CD-RWs, right? For that I heard that DirectCD is good, but I found no solid shareware for it. This is what came bundled with my PC: InterVideo...

Hey folks, I have Win XP. Want to see how much disk space I have on several of my CD-Rs and RWs. Which program do you all use? Which program would you recommend? If you recommend XP, how do I access the media disk space detector -- I have no desktop right now, so please tell me the folders...

Hey folks, I recently tried to copy data onto CD-RWs using Window XP's default program. I find the program cumbersome. The message I get when I want to add data to a CD-RW is that I should insert a blank CD-R or RW. But the thing is -- the disk is only half full. What the heck? Anyone else...

Thanks alot, Igorian, for that info...that clarifies things. Soon, I'll try out the method from the "Xperience Xp" link you posted. (First, though, I have to back-up all my music and data files on CD-Rs, just in case I lose access to the hard drive at some point.) I hope to report good...
