    win xp log on

    When you followed my instructions "adminstrator" would have been the default account when prompted for the username and password to use - sounds like you didn't overwrite this with your own account. If you have a second go you'll need to tick the check box in order to untick it and have it...

    Recommend me a good aerial and amp / splitter please

    Interesting - MC software are you using, and what boxes in each room? Been toying with the idea of a Media Portal machine for a while now.

    formulae!!!

    Often I find it better to have dates going down the left hand column if the sheet is less than one screen wide but contains 100's of rows. But other times, project plans, time/effort recording etc I'll go with dates along the top. 20+ years - guess you cut your teeth on XT/ATs or perhaps twin...

    Web hosting with web-mania.

    It's the web server that is configured to look for the default page as index.htm/index.html etc if no file is specified. Tony - a list of files will often be the default if the web server is not finding an index.htm etc file. So try specificing www.<website>\index.htm from you browser if you...

    cracking an egg into a car radiator

    You say the leak is from the radiator - if you can see where it is mix up some body filler and apply liberally in blob about the size of a 10p (push into the rad core). Allow to dry for 20mins top up and drive off (add rad weld for good measure). Did a couple of times many years ago after...

    Recommend me a good aerial and amp / splitter please

    Hm Wolfbane looks a bit pessimistc - says I need an amplified high gain aerial. When we moved in to our house there was a coil of co-ax in the loft - I quickly shoved a metal coat hanger in the end and got an excellent picture (have replaced since - but it was a number of years later). Even now...

    switch mounting box

    Sounds spot on to me, the earth is not connected at the other end and as it is running alongside the live wire a voltage is induced (will collapse if you try and draw any current). DMM will probably read a voltage as well. Check the ceiling rose or junction box that the earth goes to to see...

    SCREEN FREEZERS

    Following on from Ignorian's thoughts: a) Download/install all latest drivers - especially graphics. b) Disable/disconnect non-essential peripherals one by one. c) Repair install of windows. All stuff a half decent shop should do.

    Can't Change A Light Bulb!!!

    One of the R63s in our ceiling fan used to seize. Once sheared the bulb off at the top of the thread. Had to use pair of longnose pliers in the threaded part - grabed the edge and twisted, pliers bit into the metal and I had a sort of tin opener arrangement (like those tins of spam/corned beef...
