Got it, pictures an all ! Nice one jj

I have a Neff T2986 N0/06 gas hob. The main gas pipe which goes into the hob and feeds the 6 valves is damaged and i need to get the fitter to replace. My question is, apart from the pipe are there any other parts which need to be ordered and replaced as a consequence of replacing this pipe. For...

I have just had a new gas hob connected up by a gas safe engineer. I am informed that the only paperwork that is required is the company receipt. However, a relation of mine has also had a new cooked installed recently and she tells me that she was given a certificate as well as a receipt...

Hi, We have just had our Neff T2986N0 gas hob connected up, but has the following problem: When you press one of the knobs and turn it left to max, the flame ignites okey. However when you release the knob, the flame goes out. I have held down the knobs for upto 5 minutes but the...

I am about to search for a gas fitter to connect a new gas hob to the pipework. Can any one tell me what paperwork i should expect from the fitter in respect of any regulations.

Correct. However, I meant critical programs to the user, not the OS. For example, an outboard sound card would be a critical device if you used your pc as a home studio. So this should not be disabled on startup. You could reasonably assume that for example MS Office, Adobe Update...

To control which programs automatically start up, you could try the System Configuration Utility embedded in Windows: Start > Run, and in the ‘open’ field, type: msconfig and hit OK. Then select the Startup tab. From here you simply tick or untick which programs you want to auto start on boot...

I'm not sure what the insulation is made of, but was injected, it's white and fluffy (sounds like a little pet) and cover the existing meter tails. Is it okey to run the new tails in the same position.

Yes it is, integral.

Hi, I have just had a quote for a new CU and meter tails. The original tails go inside the cavity for about 2 mtrs between meter and CU (cavity wall insulation was added many years ago). He said he can fix the new tails to the ends of the old ones and pull them across, ie remaining in the...

Although the OP states a virus, you’re absolutely right it could well be spyware/malware. Currently we use Sophos AV sbs, which does a pretty good job. But as with a lot of products you get what you pay for. Some AV products include anti spyware as standard but a lot see it an extra option...

I agree, the best thing to do is install a decent AV program. However, if you really want to start again (and this should be a last resort) I would always re-format the hard disk first and then do a fresh install of Windows. I have had many cases where just re-installing windows has not cured...

Hi, I am about to install my new kitchen, (got the pro's doing wiring & gas). When tiling a wall where there are wall cabinets, would you normally tile first (and go slightly behind the cabinets), or would you tile arround them after they are fitted?

I see what you’re doing now. From the switch you’re using a standard cat5 fly lead with RJ-45 plugs. This cable connects to a RJ-45 socket on the wall. An installed cat5 cable then connects this socket to another RJ-45 socket, so where else. From the final socket, another cat5 fly lead...

Point taken !

What are inches? Sorry ColJack, only joking. Thanks.

Hi, a cat5 cable is terminated with 8 pin 10baseT plugs. The individual colour coding can be obtained from many web sites, just Google. However, to fit these plugs to a cat5 cable you will need special crimping plyers, (not cheep). But you can buy them ready made up (usually up to about 10m)...

Hi, Is there a recomended type and size of trunking to use with 25mm meter tails (plus earth). The proposed route for the tails are directly from the meter straight through the cavity wall, then along the inside wall (in trunking) to the CU. Total distance aprox 3m.

If you ONLY want to have the screen saver function then I would recommend the following configuration: (Win XP) Go to Screen Saver > Power > Power Schemes. Normally you would select 'Home/Office Desk' as the scheme Turn off monitor = Never (but I would set this to about 30 mins) Turn off...

Only having 1.4Gb of hard disk space left will not cause printing problems. Something else is at fault, what exactly is the problem when you print?
