Lovely job. Took me a while to get to grips with it. Had to move the "system reserved" part of the hard disk to the end of the disk, then the unallocated part of the disk could be added to the 10 gig part of it just by click and drag. Or, like my mate said, "can you not just cut and paste it...

Tried that, didn't work. I'm tried verbal lubrication, (highly under-rated) I've tried talking nicely to it, I've tried making the unallocated portion into a drive called G, and installing the relevant "unpartitioning" software, yet it refused to do that, too. I'm afraid to say, I really got...

Well, I would, but I cannot install anything to c, as the machine says it's full. I downloaded a utility earlier to do it for me, but it refused to install, again, because c is full.

Good afternoon. My wife brought home her friends lappy for me to have a look at. The Wi-fi wasn't working, and the hard-disk is full. The hard-disk is full because it appears to be partitioned into 2 chunks, one of 10gig, and one of 97 gig, as well as three gig set by for what I assume is...

AVG found nothing. However it was AVG that popped up with the cookie alert in the first place, but it refused to do anything with it. I'm going out in a bit, perhaps I'll let it do a full scan while I'm out. I'm pretty sure I don't have a virus, the pootah is not showing any other symptoms...

They both work on my pootah. Browser issue??

I'm currently having a problem with tracking cookies appearing on my computer. This has only manifested itself since the kids starting using the Moshi Monsters. Coincidence?? I recently got myself a dongle for mobile internet, never had this problem when I had a hard wired B/B connection...

Although you've changed your ways, thepiratebay.org is very good. Using U-torrent as the client, I've never had any problems with either of those.

You'd be better off with AVG 2012, like, but I guess it's all down to personal choice in the end.

After you press F12, set it so that the CD-ROM device is first in the list. You'll also need to save that to the BIOS, F10 should do that for you. As soon as you've altered your settings, but before you save it, slot the disk that you want to boot from into the drive. As far as I am aware...

Maybe, but there is an awful lot of malicious code out there than can cause a BSOD, running any hardware, on any operating system. The lappy that I dealt with before wasn't six months old, running Vista Premium, (which, if I may add, is a truly vile OS) and that was still hanging to a BSOD...

I don't pay for any AV software, or Malware cleaners, so there's no way I'd advocate someone else doing so!! Richard, what AV do you run? Maybe it's a little strict, my AV (AVG 2012, installed on sunday as an upgrade from 2011) says nowt about that webpage, in fact I just clicked it, and it's...

Something else that just occured to me....... It will almost certainly be worth installing C-Cleaner, too. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner In this program, there is a facility to clean the Registry. You can either do this before you do my above steps, instead of, or as well as.

I had a laptop some time ago that was doing this. Does anything cause it, or does it just do it when it fancies?? Sounds to me that you have a virus or some kind of nasty that's causing the machine to hang - hence the BSOD. The laptop in question belonged to a 14 year old boy who didn't care...

Hmm. Sorry. No idea. Just sounded like a problem in our old system where we lived before. Can't remember exactly what the problem was, but I'm sure it was summat to do with air in the system. You'd be better speaking to one of the guys in the know on the forums, dude.

Thanks bernardbeemer. I've had a quote at mate's rates to do the job for me, and to fix the perma-hot radiator in the bedroom. Does 200 notes sound like a fair price to sort it?? Anybody know of any honest gas fitters in my part of the world, to get another quote in comparison?? My...

Hmm. In his words, and, I quote, ''If this place costs me too much money, I could always put the rent up, or even sell it''. It took us a long time to get this place, and I don't want to have to move again!!!!!

You'll not go far wrong with AVG 2012. It might also be worth running C-Cleaner, (I prefer to do it in Safe Mode, hit F8 as soon as you turn the machine on) It won't hurt to run SuperAntiSpyware, either. If and you do install AVG, make sure it is allowed to update itself completely. If you...

When the system is off, how much pressure is showing on the gauge?? We had a similar problem in our old house, can't remember what we did?? Have you tried turning everything off and on again??
