    Wireless printers - how do they connect?

    If you connect to the internet via a modem/router attached to a BT phone line, then you're ok. If you connect to the internet via a wireless modem attached to your Virgin Media cable line, then you're also ok. For both of these just stick the CD that comes with the printer into your laptop and...

    Ronseal Radiator Paint

    Thanks opps. Can you recommend anything that will be easier to get a good smooth finish with? Rads with brush marks don't look nice.....

    Cooker Extractor Chimney - vent through roof?

    Thanks Woody, presumably I'd need some kind of adaptor to fix the vent hose to the vent tile?

    Cooker Extractor Chimney - vent through roof?

    The hose is 125mm, but I had to flatten it somewhat to get it down behind the soffit. There's nothing wrong with the soffit boarding, I'm just not keen on the idea of cutting it just to put a vent it. I've also not found any 125mm vents that are suitable for facing down from a soffit - plenty...

    Cooker Extractor Chimney - vent through roof?

    I've installed a cooker chimney extractor thingy on an internal wall (no other place to put it) with the intention of venting it through the soffit. The kitchen is in an extension with a pitched tile roof on top. However, I'm not sure I want to cut through my UPVC soffit, and I'm also struggling...

    Ronseal Radiator Paint

    Has anyone used this stuff? Is it any good? Better than regular gloss paint for painting rads with? Or is there a better alternative? Thanks.

    No, AVG will still continue to protect you from downloaded nasties. The primary function of the Security Toolbar is to check the links that are returned from search you perform in Google, Bing, Yahoo or whatever search engine you use. You'll probably see a big green tick next to each result...

    samsung r530 laptop

    Ok, it could be the AVG Security Toolbar in IE that's causing the problem. You can confirm this by disabling the toolbar in IE (Tools, Manage Add-ons), you may need to restart your machine to see if this works or not. Alternatively, you may be running IE8 32bit under Windows7 64bit - that has...

    New router needed?

    You could get a new router, but since 1 pc is getting a decent speed and the other isn't then it suggests that the problem lies with the laptop. You could try re-installing the drivers for your ethernet card on the laptop, or rolling back to a previous driver. Sometimes if the driver has been...

    samsung r530 laptop

    Gaynor, when you say you can't access your shortcuts, can you be a bit more specific please? Which shortcuts? Where are they (i.e. are they on your desktop?)? What are they for? Does it affect all of your shortcuts, or just some? Also, which version of Windows are you using? And when did this...

    Laptop with Alzheimer's

    Just to clarify JohnD's post :- If you copy your photo's to an external drive or DVD's, and then subsequently delete them from your internal hard drive, you won't have an archived backup copy - you'll still have only 1 copy of your photo's, it'll just be held somewhere other than your main...

    Laptop with Alzheimer's

    The My Documents folder only contains what it says - your documents, including your photo's. If that's occupying 11 gig of your 37 gig drive, and you have 6 gig free space(?), then the other 20 gig is taken up by Windows and all the programs you have installed on your system.

    connecting computer to tele

    Ok, I can't find any spec info on that model of PC. But don't rush to bin it just yet..... If you want to connect it to your TV you can do it with a VGA-VGA cable, similar to this :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Pro-Monitor-Replacement-Cable/dp/B0000B1K4E/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t You'll need...

    Recover forgotten password in Vista?

    Hmm, well there are downloads you can try which promise to either crack the password or reset it to blank, not tried any myself so can't advise any specific one. Google is your friend, you should find several there, some of which you can burn to CD and run from boot-up. This is assuming you have...

    Recover forgotten password in Vista?

    Do you have another user account on your Vista pc? If so, and it's an adminstrator account, and you know the password for that account (or it doesn't have one), then you can login in to Vista using that account and reset the password for your other account.

    connecting computer to tele

    If it's 3 years old it's unlikely to have an HDMI socket - it may have, but it's unlikely. Question is, what inputs does your TV have? If you can post the make and model of both your PC and your TV, it'll make it easier to post practical suggestions specific to your setup, and you won't...

    yankee keyboard

    Follow these instructions :- http://www.conversationexchange.com/resources/keyboard-language.php Should sort it out for you. When you get to "Text Services And Input Languages", English (UK) should probably be already listed so you just need to select it rather than add it.

    reseting bios password

    Not in my experience, can't remember ever coming across a CMOS battery soldered to the board, certainly not in the last 10+ years.
