managed to get rid of the Luder virus by reinstalling zp but discovered that the pc has win xp and win 98 on 2 different hard-drives. I have 2 questions; When the system boots up it gives an option to boot from either hard-drive and a 30 second countdown. Where do I go to alter this...

My son's pc, running xp home, is infected with this virus. I have used avast, adaware and spybot but it keeps coming back, and in trying to eradicate it I have messed up loads of .exe files so some programmes no longer work. I'm wondering if the best thing I can do is to format the disc and...

I'm sorry to say it but this weather is too hot for me. I left work early because I felt like I was melting and the car told me it was 31 degrees outside! When I got home I couldn't do much, couldn't go to the gym, couldn't take the dog for a walk...just too hot! Generally I would just grin...

I can't stand texting, my fingers are much too big for those tiny buttons. I just downloaded some software to allow texting from pc. It cost me 10 euros (£6.90) for 100 texts credit. Works a treat. Sent a text from pc to my own phone and it took 1 second to arrive.

Someone just paid me with a Scottish £100 note! I never knew such things existed. When I put it in my wallet the b***dy thing is so big it sticks out of the top.
