The traffic master oracle system is Ok at best. It is bloody annoying though, witters on endlessly about roads you couldn't care less about. That said, my gripe with the thing was always that it never suggested an alternative way, but if you have sat nav it might we worth it. If you go...

Easy. go here http://www.bt.com/btprivacy/ It is free and also provides caller line identification if your phone has that facility. Cheers Merv

If you have just installed a customised version of Interet Explorer it is very simple to remove the logo: Close Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and Windows Explorer Click Start Select Run Type the following and click OK rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear Get the case correct (Clear...

I have fixed countless Tiny machines, the ones I have seen appeared to have been made up with spare parts, in one desktop machine there was a Laptop harddrive in it connected via a cobbled together adaptor. Dell on the other hand are (IMO) quality machines made with matched components (Very...

Yes, it will do the job, but is overkill. Look in your local paper for a local place that supply computers and components and ask for a length of cat5 cable the size you need with a RJ45 connector at each end. If later you decide you need more connections in the shed, just install a small...

10/100/1000 cards may be common, but the underlying technology cannot support that kind of speed, the speed is set to the physical layer of the 7-layer stack, the PC has the other 6 layers to process!! My point was (as is), that wireless is not rubbish, not unreliable and more than...

Perhaps you should ask to speak the Girl's Dad!! Exactly as B.A.S says, They have a Legal obligation to replace faulty goods within a reasonable time period. It sounds like the girl was following the script marked "goods being returned due to customer changing their mind". Go back and...

You seem to forgetting the original question!! :wink: I agree with most of your comments, except that the Pre-N standard is compliant with the 802.11g standard (and 802.11b for that matter), so the idea of being left with kit that is non-compliant is wrong. Shiny and new is not the only...

802.11b = 11Mbps 802.54g = 54 mbps (125mbps with Pre-N) Compared to a typical Broadband line of 512K or 2Mb! No more than a typical CSMA/CD Wired Lan 28-bit WEP, 64-bit WEP, WPA - all pretty secure also, turn of ESSID Broadcast and your network is invisible to snoopers! Never...

Cat5 is certainly the simplest option as you can run a length upto 100m and if you have a route that is not obtrusive then it will be the cheapest option, and you can run some 4wire phone cable out there at the same time. As for wireless being rubbish and unreliable, then I would suggest that...

I'm surprised that anyone would complain about £35 per hour. I know we all hate paying for tradesman to come and do stuff, mainly 'cos by the time the pros are in, we are way out of depth). but just think about the amount in context.... Garages - min £40 - Main dealer £90 per hour...

Depends upon what you are putting under it. My Gas Hob required 700mm. The extractor I fitted required a distance of 700 when above gas, 650 when above Electric and 600 when above ceramic. Just make sure you check the requirements of the replacement before you part with your cash!. Merv

I assume from the message you received that you have MSN (messenger) running on your PC and listen to music using the WinAMP plug-in to MSN. If this is the case, the most likely cause of the connect is the WinAMP plugin trying to retrieve song info, or a "now playing" skin from the web...

Access is just a simple database system based upon JET, understanding is rather subjective. Post your problem! what have you got to lose? Merv

The error message is so meaningless that it is suggests that it may be a bit of spyware you have been unlucky enough to pick up. Run one of the multitude of removal tools such as adaware, spysweeper etc. (search this forum there are loads). Merv

Have you checked the use-by date on the cartridges? They could be old and dried out. Also, if the tape was not properly sealed the jets may just be a bit clogged up. I would generally fix this with some Isopropyl Alcohol in a lint free cotton bud, but realise this may not be a common...

what happens if you remove the colour cartridge and print a test page? Merv

You have put the cartridges in the correct slots haven't you? Merv

Mr T. What is the problem with Plasterboard? It is cheap and will definitely achieve your desire to have it look like it was meant to be there! Am I missing something, are you trying to create a very small room in an existing room using a partition wall with doors in it? If so, then just...
