Hi, I've had my freeserve address for many years, and have never had any problems downloading emails to Outlook Express (whether it's been FS, wanadoo or orange), until now! I've just had to have my hard drive re formatted, and now OE won't download emails. I've been through the Orange...

The bar at the top was initially blue, so I took my heart in my hands and deleted the existing partition. The bar then went black, and it then allowed me to re-partition it, it formatted, and now appears to be working!! Bar is back to blue, and the drive named and available. Hope I haven't...

Yes, it says it's healthy and active. If you right click on the drive pane, the only option it gives is to Delete Partition, all other options, including format (which I thought I needed to do), are grayed out. if I select delete partition it gives a warning that it is the active partition...

Sorry, me again! I've just added a 2nd SATA hard drive, but am unsure how to format it. It's all plugged in, but when I look at Disk Manager it hasn't been allocated a drive letter. It's recognised as a disk drive and has a healthy status, but has no file system or volume letter listed...

It would seem to have been resolved!! Went back to see the tech guys at work, and they said to check the usb cables, and showed me where to check on the mother board. When I looked, the USB cable had been plugged into the socket marked USB 78, not USB 56. Having replaced the cable into...

Having had a closer look inside, there is one small alteration to the hardware inside the case. The hard drive used to be plugged into a socket named SATA Pri (with SATA Sec next to it). It is now plugged into a socket named SATA 1 (with SATA 2 next to it). These sockets are located at different...

Hi, Thanks for trying to help! XP was reinstalled by a colleague in our Computer dept, who says that nothing was altered in the bios, and that XP was fully up to date. The computer has an ASUS motherboard, and was purchased from MESH about 3 yrs ago. The only hardware that was touched...

Sorry for being so frustrating! But thanks very much for trying, cheers!! 8)

Don't really know what I'm doing, but under device manager I have 4 listings for USB root hub, 3 for USB Universal host controller and 1 for a USB Enhanced host controller. All 8 are listed as working properly. As I mentioned earlier, there are 6 USB ports, 4 on the back and 2 on the front of...

Thanks for that. No exclamation marks against any of them. It does list 4 USB root hubs, but I have 6 sockets (4 back, 2 front). Sorry, bit of a technophobe!!

I've had some problems with my hard drive that resulted in it being re formatted and then having XP reinstalled. I've now discovered that the 2 USB ports on the front of my PC do not work, but the ones at the rear do (everything worked fine before!). Any advice, please? Many thanks, TT

Thanks for that! Thought I was going mad!! You wouldn't happen to know if I have to take all the flow valve assembly out to change it or not? Really appreciate it!

Can I assume from the lack of replies that people don't tend to repair electric showers? :( It seems a shame to replace £165 worth of shower for the sake of a £2.50 switch!!

Hi, Our shower has started to cut out. After being switched on it runs for about 5 secs then stops, but will comtinue to run if you hold the start/stop button in. I think it's probably a switch fault and was wondering if it's easy to replace? I've had the cover off, but the latched switch...

We've just looked at a house that has an LPG combi boiler with a bulk LPG tank. We've no experience of LPG (and neither has any of our friends!), so I'm after some general feedback as to the pro's and cons of it. Does the system need any special maintainence, are the boilers more expensive to...

Yikes!! 7 days after grouting...... :shock: Mrs T is not going to be happy about that at all!!!!! :evil:

Due to a water leak I'm having to repair the tiling at the bottom of a shower cubicle, about 12 tiles in total. I've replaced the damaged board behind the tiles, tanked it, and am now about to tile the area. My question is, after fixing the tiles, do I need to let the tile adhesive dry before...

Not quite tiling, but it's a related question! I've just removed a ceramic shower tray to redo the tiling of the cubicle after a leak, and the flexible sealant that was used to bed the tray won't come off. Any top tips to get this stuff off without scratching the tray, apart from a bucket...

Hi guy's, Posted recently about a problem with our Swiftflow 120, HW not getting very hot unless you backed off the tap to about 1/2 flow, then it took an age to run a bath! Shortly after this, the boiler failed to light up at all, although the pilot light remained lit. The Glow worm...

Thanks. When I said plumber, I mean't a CORGI chap, as all plumbers seem to be registered around here!! :oops:
