    Sealing chipboard prior to paint advice

    Thanks JohnD I appreciate your advuice, but I was hoping for a solution that I would be able to manage. That is, without taking the door off, because they are pre-glazed and too heavy for me.

    Sealing chipboard prior to paint advice

    I recently bought an internal door (factory primed) that I thought was solid pine but after taking 18ml off either side with a bench saw, it revealed a chipboard core. Although the raw chipboard is on the hinge side and not really noticeable it is not my way of doing DIY, but the man who was...

    Removing the remnants of Vista

    Thanks for replying Happypig, but I would need something a little more specific. Your link appears to be generic. I can't see anything relating to my problem, but I could well have missed it There's nothing wrong with XP on my computer. I do appreciate your help though.

    Rectrieving data from laptop HD

    Thanks Spark, that looks good. I didn't see any jumpers on the hard drive to set it as slave, and the only site I can find is http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/support/hardrives.html that gives an answer. I'd prefer a non-destructive way to set it as a slave without pulling a pin out. That's if...

    Rectrieving data from laptop HD

    Thanks for the replies. There would be problems with connections, JH. I think you are correct Breezer, but I would like to make sure. Just to see if any of the family photos can be recovered.

    Hoover (washer/drier) HSW2125 heater problem

    I would be grateful if someone could give me advice regarding a Hoover washer/drier. The machine is two years old and hasn't been flogged to death, it washes and spins and goes through the cycle but there isn't any heat blowing into the drum to dry the clothes. There wasn't any warning or...

    Two towers, one monitor & KVM cable

    Sorry I didn't post a thank you for your advice. I've been occupied with other things. I committed the careless mistake of NOT pressing the scroll lock TWICE prior to the up and down keys. Thanks to all who helped

    Two towers, one monitor & KVM cable

    Thanks for the reply Igorian. Two out of two is convincing. I'll try it again, but would you please tell me; do you mean to turn the monitor off then on by the term 'Power cycle'. If not please explain

    Two towers, one monitor & KVM cable

    Thanks for your reply Mike. If you are right then my problem could be solved. But I've checked the monitor set-up guide and it shows a usb cable from PC to monitor. To further check, I visited Dell and it also shows USB and monitor cables connected. Have a look image 1 on the Dell support...

    Building a website? I haven't a clue

    What point is there to clarify? I haven't criticised either the site, it's administrators or any member. If the site draws in income to alleviate debt. Good!! My last message was in respect to a comment that the site could be a target for people who could have nefarious intentions. Nothing...

    Building a website? I haven't a clue

    Thanks to everyone, you have made me aware of the pitfalls ahead. When I said I wanted a page similar to this, I meant a page where people can post a greeting, goodwill message or tale of their experiences of yesterday. It will NOT carry banners or adverts, so it wouldn't be very profitable...
