I live in an old house (1800, or thereabouts) with original cast metal framed windows, set into wooden surround frames. I really like them - the glass is all wobbly and bubbled and they look 'right' for the building. But they let the cold in, cause condensation, and get mouldy in the winter. In...

Go to Start>Control Panel>Display and turn off the screen saver, and whilst you are there, look at the hibernation settings and prevent the machine hibernating. Does the problem still occur?

I don't suppose there's any more space on that scrapheap for one more, is there..?

Thanks, guys - I'll relax, drain the header, and just pour it in. Cheers!

We made our up-stand out of a section of worktop, with the wood-block patterned surface facing the window, so it looks good from the outside. It only stands about half an inch above the counter surface, so from the inside all you see is the pattern as well. It looks good and sturdy - better than...

Ah - that helps a bit. If expansion and contraction means that the volume in the header tank slowly mixes with the volume in the store and radiators, then there is no problem, I guess. I hadn't allowed for that, thinking that all the header volume is doing is providing a bit of pressure in the...

Exactly. No-one is going to carbon-date your wiring to find out when it was done, and then ask for the certificates. And the wiring colour coding is no proof of anything.

"I have no idea what you are talking about. It was like that when we moved in. Maybe someone did some work in 2004, before we got here? Otherwise, I have no idea."

1. Broken speedtouch modem? 2. Possibly a conflict of some sort - do you have a soft modem/dial-up modem installed on your PC as well as broadband?

I think the last time I tried to download from the HP site, it took forever as well. Two possibilities: 1. Do a search and download from elsewhere, being careful to ensure you are not going too far off-piste - you don't want to get landed with anything dodgy. Check the file size is what...

I'm not sure I'm explaining this very well... I understand it gets diluted anyway, but I am anxious that it will get diluted in the header tank, and the majority of it will just sit in the header rather than getting into the system where it can do some good. If I lower the level in the...

Trouble with that is that the feed to the store runs from the side of the header, which is in fact the old cold water storage tank. If I drain the header tank down to the pipe leading to the store, I am still dealing with a fair few litres of water in the bottom of the header tank. Anything I...

Hi, All. I have a 300L stainless steel thermal store feeding 5 radiators (also there is a direct connection to a woodburner, which is not stainless steel) - I guess maybe 400L in total. I'd like to add some corrosion protection - when the system was commissioned a couple of years ago, it was...

It's happening to a number of people. No clear answers yet... http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=68b906114ce729bd&hl=en

^ Yes. Just on google. I was thinking a temporary DNS glitch or traffic, but hearing someone else has the exact same thing going on, I am not so sure now...

Interesting... I have had this exact thing going on all day at work today, intermittantly, where internet access is via Windows Server 2008 (through a Wyse Box), and Internet Explorer. No problem here at home...

Does this look familiar at all? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/fastFaqLiteDocument?docname=c00056672&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&lang=en#N626 Are the restore steps described pretty much like what you did? And also, did it come with a disc marked 'Operating System CD'?

That's not especially good news. It limits your options somewhat... Knowing that it is a HP Pavilion is useful - at least we can make an attempt to understand what the recovery tools you have actually are. I don't want to advise anything immediately until I understand how this works. It...

Is your 'recovery CD' a proper Windows installation disc? Or is it one of the many varieties of cobbled-together image/restore discs used by some companies? Also, when you start the PC now you have reinstalled, are you getting a different loading screen to what you had before? In particular...
