I've got genuine OEM CDs for both Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Pro. Do you advise me to try Windows 2000 first and if I experience problems wipe it and try Windows 98? The one thing I have got is plenty of good hard drives although I am sure that, at 10GB and 20GB, they are now very small...

Thanks for that. It is mainly for her to use the internet. To explain, she very rarely gets out because her mum is frightened of being left alone in the house. Her great hobby is horses and horse racing and before her illness used to work for the Jockey Club. She very rarely has a...

I have a new Gigabyte GA-7VM400M - K7 Triton motherboard which I can install. However, I will need a new CPU; Memory modules etc. Can you please give me some advice as the best places to obtain secondhand hardware such as this. I know there is the Ebay option but I know a few people who...

I am trying to build a pc for a disabled friend who lives with her elderly mother and they have very little cash to spend. I have managed to put a pretty basic machine together but it needs more memory to really be of use. I am trying to obtain, at a reasonable cost, a couple of secondhand...

That's great - Cheers!

Thanks again. I must admit that sometimes I have to ask myself if I am being unreasonable on this one but I really do not think that I am. Do you know if I can obtain a copy of the relevant part of the Building Regs (2002) online and what is the section that I need to look at? I really...

Thank you for your helpful advice. I apologise if the tone of my post seemed as if I was trying to 'Get something for nothing' because that is certainly not the case! When choosing a firm to carry out the work we went for the oldest and most established firm in the area despite their...

To answer your other questions: We do not have a roomstat. Yes we do have a 'Benchmark' booklet entitled 'Installation, Commissioning and Service Record Log Book'.

Yes, all of our rads (7 on three floors) have thermostats fitted. Apparently, the overheat was caused by us, in error, trying to find a solution by turning all the thermostats off. Is there any way of checking if any of the thermostats have been damaged? Many thanks

I have the same problem and it turns out that it is caused by an error by the engineer who fitted the new boiler. Our old boiler, a Myson Midas Sfi, has the central heating return on the left and the central heating flow on the right whereas on the new Potterton Performa 24 they are the other...
