It's ok, I had an internet page left on the screen and thought, ok, there is a little box in the top right corner, new to me, showing a couple of little options, one of these is PRINT, I thought lets just click it and see if I can at least print the page, I clicked it and another larger box...

From one dilemma to another. Purchased a new Acer PC yesterday. It ran windows 8.1 but recommended you download the new Windows 10. I won't go through it all but the list was endless what it said would and wouldn't happen if you DIDNT do the download. So am now running Windows 10. Not too...

No, they didn't charge anything, honestly. I have more disasters and going to write a new post, better not put it in here, but if you can help please let me know. Thank you.

The outcome was not good. The shop couldn't locate the problem but have saved all my work. I suppose really it was 'old' age. Nothing lasts forever and it was bound to happen at some stage. I now have the fun selecting another PC and then even funnier, setting it up. Just thought I would let...

Thank you AronSearle, that's what I thought, I mean 2 days in a computer shop..............I'm beginning to think I know more myself, especially after coming on here. We will wait and see what tomorrow brings. Thank you JohnD for your advice concerning the external hard drive. I don't suppose...

Won't be doing it, but, fantastic idea to clad your shed, might put this one in my to do list, I like my shed to look good and am always staining it, this idea would save a few bob, a lot of time, and with just a quick wipe over would always look great.

Personally I would start from scratch, I would use all 2.4m boards. You could always do this a section at a time, it wouldn't look great for a few weeks but it would soon all be complete and that way you can spread the cost a bit. I would also treat each side of the boards BEFORE you use them...

I have a fair amount on memory sticks, but these are not up to date. I have just been reading about 'hard drive enclosures' and had a look on YouTube at quite a good example. Whilst I wouldn't have a clue where to find the hard drive and wouldnt have the courage to try, I will ask at the shop...

Thank you for your suggestions. Just wondering, now that you have kindly suggested some things, if anyone else can think of anything that I may be able to put to them in the shop when I call them on Monday. I'm not computer savvy so I don't really know what you mean about plugging the hard drive...

Thank you for all your replies regarding my computer. I thought I best wait until you finish discussing DVD's before I proceed. I opened up the PC, it was dusty but honestly nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I cleaned off any obvious dust, switched on with lid off and the same thing...

When I switched my PC on today it turned itself off within seconds and continued to turn itself on and off until I switched off at the socket. It has recently been crashing but always restarts, last night I got a blue screen with jumble on it, I didn't have time to get a code, but I switched it...

I though at 90 quid it would be a good quality what is resiblock? Have you used it? Will this stop the tyre marks? Thanks for your replies.

The flags are smooth grey with tapered edges. I have seen this stuff "Blackjack Paving Sealer", it's £90 for 25 litres, I don't mind paying this as long as it works, it's supposed to be resistant to tyre marks. Has anyone used this?

i have just spent a huge amount of money having my driveway paved with heavy 2 x 2 x 2 grey concrete paving slabs, not the type you see in the street, and very nice it looks too. The problem is, this is brand new and already it is has really bad car tyre marks running over it. It has had to be...

I have now had the heating on most of the day and rads are heating up fine, the hot water is also working, I have left the pump setting at 2, it is still quite noisy but not screeching, I turned it to 3 and it didn't screech but I have returned it to 2. All the rads have been bled and tge pump...

I have turned the pump and central heating back on, the pump setting is on 2 and not 3 which is how it was set, the heating is working fine, but, the pump is still noisy, its not making that really loud screechy noise which vibrated right through the house but it is noisy, it also makes a bit of...

Thanks, I will give it a go, do you think then the tank is ok as it is? should I try and scoop up the white scum at the top with a sieve?

The switch on the side was set at 3, this is how it was left when it was fitted and has never been touched, I have turned it down to 2 but not yet switched everything back on, to be honest I'm frightened it will blow up.

Thanks for your reply. The small tank does have plenty of water in it although there is a fair bit of scum of the top. The heating and water were working fine. It didn't actually turn itself off, the noise scared the hell out of us so we immediately just turned everything off.

My Grundfos central heating pump has just made an extremely loud noise and I have turned it off, so, central heating and water is now all off. It has been making a whirring and droning noise now for a while, I bled the pump by removing the silver screw in the middle and just water trickled out...
