    Old XP installation has ruined new install?

    I seem to have intermittent problems with windows related programs like IE6 & OE6 & other things that I have applied settings to. So i`m taking a guess that i`ve transferred a dodgy system file along with my files & settings, because it seems like everything went down hill since running the...

    Old XP installation has ruined new install?

    Thanks again, i`ve just done a repair install & installed the latest patches except IE7 & i`ve had it running for about 20 mins without major problems & programs seem to open a bit quicker. Something else I should mention is the CPU seems to go from idle to full when there are no programs...

    Old XP installation has ruined new install?

    Cheers Igorian, so i`m thinking right when I think i`ve picked up a corrupt file when i`ve used the file & settings transfer wizard or caused permanent damage to my pc due to overclocking. Since my first post, when I try to close a program that isn`t responding I get an error message saying i`m...

    Old XP installation has ruined new install?

    My setup is a Seagate 40gb PATAIDE hd split into 2 partitions running XP pro which runs but is very crashy after being attacked by the mmx19g malware which has ruined a windows system file because no programs will install or uninstall, I even tried a repair install which didn`t help, so I left...

    Some questions about my clio

    Thats summat else I noticed when I had the offside tyre replaced due to an unrepairable puncture, it was worn more on the outside than the inside. Does £68 sound too much for a Pirelli P6000 185/55/15?

    baffled by power steering!

    Ive come to the conclusion that the lack of a pump means that the power steering isn`t hydraulic & must be electronic.

    baffled by power steering!

    Can someone tell me where the power steering pump & tank is on a Renault Clio D4F engine, sorry I mean a Dynamique 1149cc 16valve engine. I`ve managed to locate everything else but the pump & after seeing where the oil filter is, i`m definitely taking it to a garage for a oil & filter change...

    Some questions about my clio

    75bhp is better than the 60bhp, 8 valve, single point injection go-kart & i`ve found out what was wrong, I was frightened to push it above 2000 rpm! I know but I ain`t had it a week yet & I dont want to bend it yet! I would have really liked the V6 clio but I have to live in the real world. If...

    Some questions about my clio

    Finally got rid of the Saxo and replaced it with a 03 Clio dynamique 1.2(1149cc) 16v 75bhp 20k miles http://www.atomic-album.com/showPic.php/108897/media.jpg/ Firstly can someone tell me if this is a mk2 or mk3? I`m happy with the ride quality & handling & it`s pretty quick in 1st & 2nd...

    Whats up with my saxo this time?

    It now seems to be running ok apart from it nearly stalling when idling, but i`m going to try and live with it because I bought a new car yesterday(and it isn`t a Citroen!) and i`m just going through that process of changing the insurance & V5. Ta Rich

    Whats up with my saxo this time?

    My dad said a clip or summat was lose on the throttle cable & I managed to get work with it but it`s still down on power & now when I startup it cuts out straight away. Time to open my wallet :lol:

    Whats up with my saxo this time?

    I forgot to mention that it ran fine after I sprayed various connectors & plug leads in WD40 & now there seems to be summat wrong with the throttle. Sometimes while i`m accelerating the pedal seems to drop a little & then come back up, but when it drops the revs stay the same or when I lift off...

    Whats up with my saxo this time?

    I had a run from Rotherham to Matlock in it on saturday via the M1, through Chesterfield & then up that steep 1 in 7 gradient, bad idea! I managed to keep up 60-65 on the motorway but it didn`t feel as responsive as usual when I was overtaking & then I hit the 1 in 7 gradient at 60, right foot...

    W/M faulty or dodgy wiring?

    Thanks & yes it`s a normal plug because I had to remove the molded plug due to the earth pin getting damaged by the halfwit tosser & his mate that moved the machine for me & its the same idiot that fitted the new plug. I think his name was Frank Spencer!

    W/M faulty or dodgy wiring?

    I did 2 loads of washing, both were set on a 40 mixed fabric cycle & the machine did both loads fine but when I tried to remove the plug from the socket it was stuck solid in the socket, so I killed the sockets & after a lot of tugging & swearing I managed to get it out & I noticed that the...
