Change standby and hibernate to 'never'

If the site will display then you shouldn't have any problem downloading the installer. What browser are you using anyway? If it's IE 6.0 consider upgrading. Also I strongly recommend you upgrade from Adobe Reader 7.0 to 9.1. There are exploitable vulnerabilities in the earlier versions...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ Installs as a printer so you can use it from any application.

That must be it. A quick Google would suggest that the inrush on these is 20A at 230V.

Have you enabled MAC filtering on your Belkin router? If you have then turn it off as it just makes life inconvenient for you but doesn't add any real security. I very strongly advise you to enable WPA (not WEP, it's broken) encryption on your wireless network. Did you set your own SSID...

Glad it worked. But I was concerned that might not be the end of it if explorer didn't start after a reboot. Sounds like you're OK now though. For nastyware removal teh Malwarebytes one is very good. Trend's Housecall on-line scanner is also useful, but only if the nastyware isn't blocking...

Oh. That means that I have to read the instructions. :( They're all for laptops - where the most powerful PSU I've got is 90W. It's labelled as "100-240V ~ 1.5A 50-60 Hz". So a 3 amp fuse will be more than enough, I just wondered if anybody knew why something that the IEC standard is...

When I buy a C5 cable with a 13 amp plug on it (or when one is supplied with something) why does it have a 5 amp fuse in the plug when the C5 is only rated at 2.5 amp? Should I change them all and end up with a big tin of 5 amp fuses?

Attempting to restrict the supply of components will do two things: 1. Make the cost of 'restricted' items much greater as the supply chain becomes more complicated 2. Create a 'black market' in imported components that probably haven't been tested and certified. Properly enforcing...

The Acer one with 19" screen. 15" feels awfully cramped these days. Edit: meant to add that you'll probably want a bit more RAM. May 2009 PC Pro has a feature on getting a PC for £250 (inc VAT). But some of them ended up without a screen...

Depends on what you call beer. Tesco seems to try and shift huge stacks of cheap lager fairly regularly. :wink:

It sounds like it's not loading Explorer after boot-up. Investigating why could take some time. Start by doing this: Press Ctrl-Alt-Del when looking at your wallpaper only screen. That shold open Task Manager. In Task Manager click 'File' then 'New Task (Run...)' In the Create New...

But your hypothetical electrician has a dilemma here. Ignoring any altruism that he/she might have, there are two considerations for doing that work: 1. is there a reasonable return on investment in time and materials (will they get paid)? 2. is there a subsequent risk to the...

ISDN2e has two (64Kbps digital) channels. You can't plug a 'normal' phone into it. Usually a small business will use it for a small swtch board (2, 4, or 6 lines). DDI numbers would allow you to ring a particular extension. It costs significantly more than an analogue line for installation...

IP address or e-mail address? To forge the 'From' address on an e-mail is as easy as typing in what you want it to be. The IP address is a bit harder, but can be done by forging the headers. Spammers don't usually bother with that now though - they just get a compromised PC to send...

Still not sure what you mean. Do you want to copy the installation CD to teh disk on your PC and then run the setup programme from there to install the software onto your laptop's disk? or Do you want to run the setup programme on the laptop and tell it to copy all its files onto the...

Note that one week's pay is capped at £350 (if you're actually paid less then it's counted as your actual weekly pay). Also the first £30,000 of termination pay is not subject to income tax. Termination pay includes redundancy pay and firms have got away with including pay in lieu of notice...

When you say you want to load software on the PC's drive do you mean to run the installation program on the laptop and point it at the PCs drive for the installation folder? In theory it's possible, but you'll probably find it doesn't work very well in practise. What are the operating...

Route behind the freezer might not be the best thing for the signal on your cables. I would think that it's more than likely OK but you could pick up some interference from the freezer motor.

ONe thing that occurs to me: Have you accidentally disbled the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' on the problem laptop? It's in teh properties of the network connection and should have a tick next to it.
