I am currently having a problem with my pc in that when I startup Windows XP Home Edition – Service Pack 2 I seem to get loads of ‘memory related’ Application Error messages relating to various Application ‘exe’ files such as:- (The ‘exe’ file concerned) - Application Error The...

Would something like this be ok? http://linitx.com/product_info.php?products_id=737

My cousin has given me his pc which has a corrupted hard disk and he cannot see any of his data. It is a Dimension (Dell) 9150 and it has a sata 250Gb hard disk. I have the necessary software to recover his "lost" data but in order to do it I need to connect his drive to one of my machines...

It was a present, I believe bought from a computer shop in South London but, unfortunately, it has ceased trading since. The machine was built by the shop:- The motherboard (K7 Triton) series has integrated ATA133 Raid graphics and AC97 Audio. The processor is an AMD XP2600. It...

About two years ago, I bought a pc with Windows XP - Home Edition pre-installed and have experienced problems, virtually, ever since. I have tried restoring the Windows system by all available means on several occasionsand have also completely re-installed it on a fairly regular basis...

Many thanks for that.

Thats a good shout! I must admit I never really thought of eBay because I was mainly concerned to get rid of them in one go if possible. The thing is whatever I do with them it would really help to know what they are actually used for. Somebody has told me that he reckoned that they are...

A pal, who owed me some money, has just returned to his native Australia for the foreseeable future and he has left me with a load of brand new boxed German made halogen lamps that are now taking up a lot of room in the garage. As anything to do with electrics and lighting, apart from the...

I've run the FSUTIL DIRTY QUERY C:/D: and neither volume is 'Dirty'!

I can't seem to get the "FSUTIL DIRTY QUERY C:" to run. It is not recognised in Windows 2000 and I cannot run it using the 'run' command in XP.

I think you may have a point. My disk was indeed partitioned, using Partition Magic, before I installed Windows XP onto it. I will give the "FSUTIL DIRTY QUERY C:" a try and let you know what happens! Many thanks

After some problems regarding a faulty, but out of warranty, TV I was sent this by a friend and although it was from an article in a magazine published some time back, it still applies today! When I brought this to the attention of the Manager of the branch where I purchased it and insisted...

I have partitioned my hard disk so that I have the option of booting into my original Windows 2000 Pro system or my new Windows XP Home Edition (set as default). The Windows 2000 system is located on drive c: (has about 15 GB of free space) and Windows XP on drive d: (has over 100 GB of free...

I did have to change the connections around on the motherboard as the existing 'ribbon' cable was not long enough! However the connectors fitted together very smoothly. I just needed to press lightly to secure the fixing.

No, there are no LED lights on the motherboard. I am going to borrow a meter tomorrow to check the psu as advised. I don't think the last two points apply as it was working fine until I put in the new CD-Rom drive.

I think its the latter. The button is on the front of the tower and I can see that when it is pressed it only makes a momentary contact with the component immediately behind it.

Further to my earlier posting, I would like to thank all concerned for their help. I have now managed to find another 128MB SDRAM PC100 module that works but when I turned on the pc earlier today - Nothing. As I have renewed the power supply and checked the connections to the motherboard I...

Thanks for that, however I don't think our TRVs are 'bi-directional' because, originally, to cure the noises and banging, they were goingto quote us a fee for changing all the TRVs to 'Dual-flow' ones which they estimated would involve a day's labour!

I posted a message back on 12th January regarding a dodgy boiler installation and received from really useful advice. Basically, the story is that about one year ago I had my old Myson combination boiler replaced with a new Potterton Performa 24 and the installing engineer, using the...

A pal, in the States, has just alerted me to a really nasty little creature which first appeared just before Christmas and, as yet, there is no known cure, other than to reformat the affected hard disk partition. It is able to fasten itself to email attachments sent from an infected machine so...
