Is it a Duron or an Athlon processor?

How would I do it? I'd keep the NTE5 where it's supposed to be and wire from the removable faceplate on that. Fewer problems if something goes wrong in the future. I've no experience of dealing with Virgin when a fault arises, but BT always wants you to disconnect your stuff to prove it's...

You should put it back. I don't know what Telewast (now Virgin, of course) is like about their socket, but BT want you to use theirs - and it is their socket, not yours. As far as connecting mutiple cables together after the telco socket, you could use one of these...

This is for Outlook (2003 and 2007). Outlook Express is a completely different application and works in an entirely different way. In Outlook go to File then New and select Outlook Data File. Choose 'Office Outlook Personal Folders (.pst) and click OK Select a location and enter a file...

Is your master socket an NTE5? If so, the incoming line should be in the hidden screw terminals behind the main faceplate. Your extensions should be wired to the Krone terminals on the lower removeable part.

Here's one http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2820.html Others are known to Google You might be better with a USB extension cable. You can go up to 5m or more if you use http://www.netshop.co.uk/productcategorydetail.aspx?categoryid=52409 or...

Only thing I can suggest is that - try giving it the ZoomBrowser installation CD to see if that's what it's asking for. - if that doesn't work re-install ZoomBrowser. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the application so I can't tell you any more about what happens when it breaks.

Was the Indexing service started? Probably not, but just checking.

We could go all the way and ask for a HijackThis log. My current thinking is that it's a combination of too much loading at startup and the indexing service thrashing the disk later on.

Here's a thought. Have you got the Indexing Service running? Click Start, then right-click My Computer and click Manage. Expand Services and Applications then click on Services. Select Indexing Service then click the Stop button. Double-click Indexing Service and set Startup type...

When it runs slow press Ctrl-Alt-Del to open Task Manager Look at the performance tab. What are the CPU usage and PF Usage figures? What is the PF usage figure when it's not running slow?

Yes, setting the RAM at 266 MHz in the BIOS should get it working more stably. To access the BIOS press the Delete key during the PCs startup routine - when you see it counting the RAM and finding the disks just after you turn it on. Chapter 4 of the manual has details.

OP - try defragmenting the hard disk. I wouldn't normally suggest that as a solution, but in this case it sounds like your disk is thrashing about all over the place. Also run the disk cleanup utility and see how much stuff you can clean out. Do this before you defrag. More RAM will make...

Check that your anti-virus software isn't set to do a full scan on system startup and again in the evening. How much RAM do you have? How much free space on the C: drive? (That's free space, not total space).

Open the registry (usual warnings about not changing stuff applies here) Have a look at HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\PowerCfg Change CurrentPowerPolicy to 0 That controls the setting for the PC before anybody logs in. Otherwise the power management settings are user-specific.

What the manual says is that you can have a maximum of 3GB as long as it's not PC3200. Only one slot can accommodate PC3200 RAM and only up to 512MB from certain vendors. Anything else is likely to be unstable. Having said that, PC3200 should be downgradable to PC2100 (what is your 512MB...

You need the driver for the video adapter rather than the monitor. Take the comma off the end of the link to cpuz and it will work. That utility can identify pretty much all your hardware.

Peculiar one that. I wouldn't have thought the hardware was causing it as it would happen after you logged in as well. My first thought is that it may be a combination of the default power management settings and the BIOS power management. Did you have to re-enter the BIOS settings after...

In IE click on Help then About. It'll tell you the version number. Upgrade at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/download-ie.aspx But this is not so urgent - just some sites seem to be dropping support for IE6's incompatibilities. Adobe reader is at...

Try dialling 17070 - BT test number. Does anything happen?
