BAS, did anyone ever have the heart to tell you you have a big button in the middle of your forehead labelled "press here to make me go XXXX" ? I've got to stop its like shooting fish in a barrel. Moderator 4 The wording has been removed as it is offensive to some.

You too can have blind cats!

My cats are fascinated by the DVD drawer so I sit on the sofa and open and close it, they go bonkers. So there's your answer, its a cat-toy, obviously!

Sarcasm? No, no, we don't get that around here. I was the last practitioner and I gave it up because I was fed up with being stared at! Well damn, you guys are just too sharp for me. :) P.S. It wasn't veiled at all, I find baiting predictable people with no of sense of humour amusing, I...

While you can't access the pump body the impeller for the pump is normally accesible under a screwed down cover. Is the water clean or dirty? It should be rinse water and shoul be clean. If its not then the machine isn't draining on the first cycle either, which implys a pump problem.

We had this problem with our Bosch. Try checking the non-return valve for the waste pipe. Its normally a small rubber circle thats attached to a larger rubber block by a flap. Its normally fitted under a screwed down cover by the filters. The attaching flap stretches causing the rubber valve to...

derriere is french for bottom.

Isn't this where someone, naming no names, lest just call him Prohibit all Garden Storage Facilites, steps in and tells you that it wasn't the guys fault, it was his bad upbringing that made him attack you and his pregnant wife, he had no choice and is probably ill. He never got a chance in life...

Thanks for that chuckle :D what a great way to start the day!

The fact that istays bad Bios checksum then looks for a file called .ROM sounds pretty ominous to me. The only time I've seem .ROM files related to motherboards is when upgrading them with a new BIOS image. If all it is is corrupt bios settings you should be able to go into BIOS and default...

I get help with my building so its only fair to give something back - glad to help :wink:

Unfortunately this is not an issue with the settings by the look of it. P4C800ED.ROM sounds like a BIOS image file so the mobo appears to be looking for a BIOS image, i.e. the program that comes with the motherboard that boots it far enough to load the operating system.. On the upside the...

I did, can't think why I know that but I do. I'm not sure how many people spotted the derriere" pun though....

What Igorian said is correct except that the reason a modem is required is because the bandwidth of the copper tail circuits used is very poor. Modulation is used wherever you need to change the bandwidth characteristics of the signal you want to send to the bandwidth characteristics of the...

The FSB has a clock. Most modern FSBs do what is called Double Data Rate. This effectively means that a new data word is transfered on each transition of the clock rather than each cycle. Frequency is measured in cycles per second with units of Hertz, so a clock signal that goes down and back up...

I've had XP running on a Celeron 300 with 256M ram. Its a good way to learn the meaning of patience. i.e. it works, just very slowly. On 128 the system would be permanently swapping. You might get away with it if you slap in lots of ram, and go look at some XP tuning pages. They'll tell you...

Thanks.

Bob misunderstands the lingo when someone suggests making money by peddling "white lines"...

Surprised as I am to be agreeing with BAS :o , he's perfectly right. Anyone complaining about _working_ immigrants in this country first need to deal with the lazy good for nothing spongers who won't do jobs like cleaning hospitals because they see it as beneath them. They'd far rather sit on...

?? That was exactly my point, or prehaps I should have explained that some Routers are called "DSL routers" on the package but the actual router doesn't have a DSL modem on it, its possibly called that because the people they expect to buy it have DSL broadband? Bit of a cheek in my opinion as I...
