    virus problems

    If your anti-virus and anti-spyware software isn't finding anything, what app is telling you that you have these 34 viruses? And what is it asking you to do about it? Can you post a screen shot of the message?

    reseting bios password

    Assuming this is a laptop and not a desktop. Can't remember having to do this on a laptop, but on desktop motherboards there's a jumper usually next to the CMOS battery labelled as jumper 1, or CLEAR, or CLR. 3 pins, pins 1 and 2 should be bridged by default. If you move the jumper to bridge...

    .... or download and install Defraggler Slim from here http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/builds More efficient defragger than the Windows one, use the slim version and you won't get any IE toolbars installed by accident. A defragger re-organises your hard drive, the idea being to place...

    Cooker Chimney Hood - Gap at Ceiling

    The mounting bracket is screwed to the wall and is as flush to the ceiling as is humanly possible. I think the ceiling must be out of square with the wall as the gap at the sides gets larger as it leads away from the wall. I could get a small piece of white plastic something (quadrant or...

    Cooker Chimney Hood - Gap at Ceiling

    ...or would I be better off using some quadrant or similar and pinning that to the ceiling (no-more-nails?). That way I could remove the cowling if I ever needed to and not have to worry about breaking the seal where it meets the ceiling....? Maybe that's a better option?

    Cooker Chimney Hood - Gap at Ceiling

    Ok, having fitted my chimney hood I've ended up with a small gap where the vertical channel and the ceiling are supposed to meet flush - the gap is around 3 to 4 mm all the way around, not massive but enough to make it look untidy and you can just see the ducting pipe as it enters the ceiling...

    advice on cleaning new house - very dusty etc

    We've got an old AquaVac, had it as a wedding present and we used to use it for general household cleaning but it's as noisy as an extremely noisy thing, so we've used a Dyson for a while now. Still use the Aquavac for vacuuming the car and clearing up after DIY, etc - it's practically bullet...

    How to avoid breakout when rotary hammer drilling?

    Sky fitters drill into the wall to fit the dish, but through the wall to feed the cable running from the dish into the property.

    I dont need a date

    I'm guessing you've got dates in your letters which are using field codes. Put your cursor on the date in question, right click and then left click on "Toggle Field Codes". You should then see instead of your date someting like this :- { DATE \@ "dd MMMM yyyy" } The DATE in this text is a...

    slow computer

    Hang on, just to clarify - your first post said your P was slow when first switched on, but your second post says it's slow when you're web browsing, so which is it? Or is it both? Different symptoms are likely to have different causes, if we're clear on the symptoms then you stand a better...

    Decking paint or oil..

    First decking I had was painted. Once it starts to flake, you're stuffed. No way I was going to waste my life on my hands and knees stripping it out from all of those lovely groves. Ripped the decking out and used the wood for other things (raised beds, etc), put new decking down and used oil...

    Kitchen Hood - Venting

    I've got to fit a new extractor hood in my kitchen. The hood will sit on an internal wall. I want to vent the hood rather than recirculate. I intend to run some ducting into the roof space above the kitchen, across the loft area and out through the eaves. Total run, from the fan to the external...

    Connecting old HD to laptop

    If the pc won't boot, you've got little alternative but to remove the hard drive from the case and either use the device suggested by SteNova or a USB caddy. You can then connect the hard drive to the caddy and connect that to a USB port on your laptop. Assuming your drive is still in working...

    Which computer base unit should i get, AMD or Intel?

    As always with base units, it's all about what you intend to use it for. As already said, they're both very similarly spec'ed, both are essentially budget spec'ed machines and they'll be fine for general net browsing, MS Office use, etc. Just for comparison, you could get something like this...

    putting my router upstairs?

    ... or a wireless USB adapter. Either way, should be easier and quicker than setting up an access point. I have mine set up this way (router downstairs, PC with USB adapter upstairs) and have set others up in the same style, no problems and supported by the router with no difficulties.

    Memory Upgrade

    Format C: It'll run a lot quicker then :lol: Seriously, when was the last time you wiped the hard drive and re-installed Windows from scratch? I could suggest getting a new hard drive and installing on that as they're quicker now than they would have been when the GX50 was sold, but...
