    INSTALLING A NEW HARD DRIVE ON MY ACER LAPTOP. IS THIS DIY

    REAL REAL PC PROBLEMS. THIS IS NO JOKE. ONLY SERIOUS REPLIES

    Did you all seriously think I was forgetting about this? Right, I have tried System Restore but it will not allow me to do this whatsoever. So the best I can get is the screen with the choices on again. The next choice is a Recovery. I'm afraid I do not have any start up discs or anything like...

    REAL REAL PC PROBLEMS. THIS IS NO JOKE. ONLY SERIOUS REPLIES

    I didnt think I could restore to 'just yesterday' I thought it would be at some point months ago. I may be tempted to try this. There is definately no CD left in the drive, but there had been a photo memory card, which I removed and restarted but still got the same problem. Any other advise...

    VERY SLOW PC START UP

    Have now carried out all instructions. I have downloaded AVG and SPYBOY SEARCH & DESTROY, and ran both of these, 2 trojan horses and 1 virus was found.

    BIRDS ARE RUINING MY LAWN - PROVADO LAWN GRUB KILLER HELP !!

    My lawn is absolutely ruined with the birds pecking like crazy on it. At first I ignored and left nature to take its course as the birds are obviously after some sort of Grub but at the same time I felt they were aerating the soil as there are now lots of tiny holes all over it. But it is...

    VERY SLOW PC START UP

    Forgot to mention that everytime I do go to defragment it tell me 'the volume does not need defragmenting this time'. I can only assume this is because when I do the Windows Clean Up Centre check this does do all this when I select a full clean up. Must I still defragment myself from my...

    NO MOT PENALTY FINE - COULD THIS BE INVALID ?????

    First thanks for all the comments. The car has (as I said yesterday) now had the MOT done, and passed with flying colours. For those who dont know the fine is now £60. I was only curious when put my post on here, but I doubt for one minute my son would ever get off without paying the fine...

    NO MOT PENALTY FINE - COULD THIS BE INVALID ?????

    I know we all can make mistakes. I did. But it just surprised me how he allowed to drive home with no mot plus no insurance, as having no MOT makes the insurance invalid.
