Thanks for the help, Ian. I tried the installing via autorun to begin with but my PC seems to regard the CD-rom as a blank CD. To confirm this I tried it on the PC in my local library and it showed it to be loaded with the necessary software. Then I tried pursuing the manual install steps as...

I am running Windows XP which is loaded with MS Works. I wish to upgrade to XP Office but I am having real problems installing the CD-rom. These are the steps that I follow: START => Control Panel => Add or Remove Programs => Add New Programs => Add a new program from CD-rom...

Sorry Eddie, you probably did convey enough info to rectify the problem (for someone without a diminished intellect) :oops: . But going into Language => Details and resetting to English UK did the trick. Thanks anyway. :) Got Real Player downloaded successfully after all. Thanks guys...

Thanks Ian...that's done the trick...and I didn't have to load a CD! :lol: Now to find that free Real Player!

Hi Eddie, Changed both the REGIONAL and ADVANCED options to "ENGLISH" but this still does not stop a " @ " for a " " ". Accessing Real Player via the BBC notifies of a free download available. But this seems to be only a 14 day trial period and credit card details are requested. Can you...

I have just installed the SP2 for Windows XP. It seems okay but for two minor things. One: the keyboard seems to recognise the ' @ ' as ' " ' and vice versa. Two: can't seem to download Real Player without a paying for the privilege. I realise the latter is not exactly an SP2 issue but is RP...

Voicey, before you dive for your chequebook when you have found your replacement motor do consider the insurance implications, please? You infer that the insurance issue is resolved, you are blameless and that your NCB remains intact. Even so, you are still pretty certain to be facing a bigger...

That seems totally unacceptable. Would you not consider making a written complaint to the company and if that were not to work then appealing to the Financial Ombudsman? I know it’s a pain in the pants, but it might be worth a shot. The point here is that it is worth always looking round for...

Well, David + Julie, I am very surprised and disappointed to hear this. I have never had any problems previously with insurance, perhaps because I have been lucky enough not to be involved in any accidents. If this sort of thing has become 'standard practice' then I will definetly be taking your...

Selecting some of the on-line motor insurance quotes I am noticing an anomaly amongst several of the companies and I would appreciate some views. To cut a long story short I had a prang last June in my motor. I was driven into from behind by some retired, though thankfully insurance covered...

I am not a gas engineer so am unable to be of much help, but I think that you rather underestimate the ease with which you will be able to enlist a CORGI engineer to connect your new boiler to the gas supply. He is very unlikely to be prepared to sanction your installation work. There might be...

Sorry to crowd your thread Archer, but a friend of mine has one of these also...actually it's a Powermax 140 and I think it is unvented. They have had it about a year and a half and I have told them that they should get it serviced even though there is no problem with it currently. Though they...
