I've hit a problem trying to format a HDD and I hope someone can help me to overcome it. The PC is very old (so is its owner), It had a 1GB HDD, the OS was Windows 98. As expected the hard drive was full to the extent that an additional 3 lines of text would crash the system. I bought a 8.4 Gb...

Thanks for the replies, I'll have a look at those sites and I'm sure I'll learn something from them. Before the thread closes (because you've answered the questions) I would like to point out that I've converted half-dozen camcorder tapes to DVD via a Firewire connection and Pinnacle studio 8...

Hello everyone, I've got a quite a few home VHS videos of family, places of interest etc. and I would like to transfer them to DVD, but I haven't a clue how to go about it. I'm imformed that I need a video capture card but I don't know if I have one installed in my machine (It's getting on for...

Thanks for the replies, There isn't any drain or waste pipes showing, if there are any they will be hidden behind the unit. I've paid a visit to this site: http://www.3dair.co.uk/domestic.html and it seems to confirm your diagnosis. I'll leave the problem for my friend to sort out...

Hi, I don't know if there are any Refridgeration Engineers who are involved with this forum, or any Plumbers with enough savvy to give me a clue with a problematic Air Conditioning unit. The unit is a wall mounted cold /hot air blower (Mitsubishi SRK208HENF) When the system runs on cold...

Sorry for sidetracking the thread, but I have to thank Igorian for his generous offer to reclaim my lost files/pics. Unfortunately, I think the files will be written over by now. I do a little bit of work creating slideshow DVDs. As I've done a couple since the disaster (yesterday), I think they...

I have got to stick my ha'penny worth in here. I would stay clear of C-Cleaner unless you understand how to configure it. I d'loaded it recently and in a single click, it wiped out my photos and other images in 'My Pictures', hundreds of them. All gone in a second, I am still trying to...

I've just read a news report that Al Zarqawi (The Jordanian beheader) has been wounded in a shoot out with American soldiers. Did he stand and fight to the death like a warrior? No! he slithered into a hospital and begged to have his wounds attended to. The cowardly little snake.

Yes it's going back. An earlier scandisk using Partition Magic showed up many faults but it doesn't do a repair. So I ran chkdsk I: /f with windows and it didn't beyond 42% then it timed out. Thanks to all who helped

I thought I'd put this here rather than start a new thread. I suppose some have seen it before. Count how many Fs there are in this sentence FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE...

How many times have we heard Blair and Brown talk about vast amounts of money being spent in our name. For; wars, white elephant structures, financing the Olympic Games, etc.... Figures with that many zeros that the average person can't decipher, (include me in that group). Well maybe this...

One of the funniest men I've heard tell a joke. I would liked to have saw him 'live' on stage or in a club. I agree, he will be sadly missed.

There is a similarity between Charley boy and Edward the Abdicator, both wanted to wear the mantle of nobility whilst behaving like lechers, (especially with another man's wife). Camilla like Wallis will end the eldest son's throne aspirations. At the time of Ed the Abdicator's relationship...

If, like me, you are disgusted with the obscene and vulgar profits of banks. Then you will enjoy reading this. http://www.man1bank0.com/home.cfm I thought I'd post this after reading all the crap about identity theft. ( before somene jumps too quick. Isolated cases, yes! widespread, no!)...

I have a relative who moved to L.A. about 25 years ago. He works in the Chemical & Plastics industry, a sort of lagger, using glass fibre and acrylics. When he went out there operatives in that specialist field were scarce in the U.S.A. so he made a good living for a few years, but it ground to...

Hi Graham 1) You will need to set up an account with www.photobucket.com 2) Create a username and password and I think you have to enter an active Email address to receive instructions from there. When you want to insert a pic into a thread, go to photobucket and navigate to this page...

Got to stage 6 but I get one of those little red x in a box. I don't know if it's because I don't allow 'Active X' or if it's deliberate. Gisaclue

On a similar theme. I have a mobile phone solely for emergency purposes, and I very seldom use it ( No! it's not because I haven't got any mates) :cry: I have realised that if someone does phone me while I'm out on my morning walk, for instance, my wife. The call goes direct to voice mail and...
