Seconded, 512mb is the max according to the memory upgrade advisor on the Crucial website. If you're running XP then 512mb should be fine anyway, unless you're doing video encoding, etc in which case I'd be wondering why you were doing it on such an old machine :wink: If the board is...

Ok, first daft question :- should I use "kitchen and bathroom" paint on my kitchen ceiling, or is standard silk/soft sheen just as good? Also, if applying with a roller, should I thin out the paint first, or just apply as is straight from the tin. The ceiling is already painted white, which...

Great, so what're uPVC or wood? Neither fills me with joy if I'm honest.

Hi, we're in Ilson :) No chance of claiming off installer's guarantee, it was supplied and fitted at cost as a favour, the panel that has the bumps has been replaced twice before and it's not going to happen again. We just want to be sure of making a good decision re the replacement.

At least now we know it's not just Internet Explorer causing the lock-ups. How long does it take to freeze once it's been switched on? If you can open the case, can you see if all of the fans inside the case are spinning when the box is switched on? If not then something could be overheating...

Actually this is similar to a situation I'll shortly be facing. Having a kitchen refit and as part of that we're moving the position of the gas hob and hood. Currently the hood is fixed on an outside wall so venting is straightforward. However, the new position is on an interior wall. My idea is...

But you'll still need to drill into the wall to fix the batten.....

Maybe it's like the Sky Netgear router I had, where the connection details aren't accessible to the user. Standard Netgear router but with bespoke Sky firmware. I did some Googling and found a firmware hack that gave access to the login details (so that you could lift them from the Sky router...

Also, if you have a Freeview signal and the coax from your aerial is already routed through your Sky plus box, then the coax you send from RF2 will also carry the Freeview signal, so she'll be able to access the Freeview channels too. So she won't just be limited to watching whatever you put on...

Of course, you could do option 1 and just not put the magic eye on, then she'll be able to receive the feed from the SKy box but she won't be able to change channel, etc. it'll just show whatever channel you put on. You just need to be careful that she's not watching TV in her room when you're...

Kev, you need to post your incoming and outgoing server settings (not passwords tho ;-) ), also any error message you get when you try to send. Have you been able to send email previously? (i.e. has something changed?)

Just re-read the OP and you've already got cable etc, sound like you just need the f-plug to f-plug connector. If you keep away from your dish and just replace the cable inside the house then at least you'll know where any problem lies if you experience any, as you won't have accidentally...

Sounds like you just need to replace a section of the cable, from just before the part that's damaged to your sky box. No need to climb up to your dish and reroute the entire length of cable, unless you really wanted to. You'll need an f-plug to f-plug extension cable, a coaxial f-plug to fit...

I've been preparing for a kitchen project myself. As I understand it, the electrician providing the part P cert is taking responsibility for all of the electrical work undertaken, not just what he himself has done. If he issues the cert but hasn't done the work, and there's any come back, then...

Our front door is a dark wood uPVC, with glass panes top and bottom. At the bottom outside of the door a lump has appeared on either side. Also the moulding around the glass panels has cracked. The door is south facing, I'm wondering if the damage is caused by heat expansion? We're looking to...

Hi (or should I say Ola?), you don't say what operating system you're using, but here are some instructions for Windows XP and Vista :- http://www.conversationexchange.com/resources/keyboard-language.php For Windows 7 it should be pretty similar to Vista. Hope this helps.

Ban them? No, but compel wearers to remove them if instructed to by police/immigration, etc for the purposes of identity checking. That seems like tolerance to me. Personally I don't like to see them and find them sinister, but that's maybe my own ignorance manifesting....

I'd be surprised if it were overheating so soon after boot up (if he opens IE prety much straight away, that is). If it were overheating I'd suspect a failed fan rather than straight dust accumulation. You could try checking the event log to see if an error has been raised. It may give you a...

I think there are... switches, etc.... Still think it's more likely to be the monitor/panel than the card, but without seeing the fault I think it's difficult to tell. Think we're agreed that it's likely to be the monitor and the easiest course of action is to try a different monitor and see...

You're welcome :) One thing I think you should check is set up correctly is folder redirection. If this is set up, and set up correctly, then AD will understand that the user profile is a roaming profile and is stored in a specific network location. As a result, it will prevent it from...
