Evening all,

I've seen a number of cases recently where the disc drive ceases to function (mainly in laptops for some reason), usually evident by the icon no longer being displayed within My...

Evening,

With regards to the former, I'm not sure of that exact model but only a few routers will do what you're asking. As mostly they're designed to send data and provide an AP not connect to...

Evening,

What is the issue that you're currently having? As an ATX reset is only really used to trouble shoot power issues.

Now it is actually the 4th July (Well here at least anyway); happy 4th July everyone!

It's not actually the 4th July here yet and isn't a major thing here; however Happy 4th July / Independance Day to those that do celebrate it!

Hmm I'm still putting my money on HDD, if it powers up then shuts down it would suggest that it was looking for a boot device but was unable to locate one.

You would get the same issue if your...

Sadly not in the UK, they'll quite literally abuse you for calling any form of tech support - on there for more than an hour and you'll be needing the IMF to bail you out :-)

If it's doing the same thing regardless of whether the hard disk is connected or not it may be worth trying a different one. Are you able to open up the bios?

As you can run a disk check from...

You typically only use the Virgin / NTL SMTP if you're using their email service. i.e Anne.Example@ntlworld.com would use smtp.ntlworld.com or smtp.virgin.com

Now you've got a Warwick POP3 account...

You get the same issue if the HDD is unplugged? Have you tried a different HDD?

Hello!

A family friend recently installed a Dell AIO printer onto a Vista Home Basic machine. The machine is 3GB RAM with an AMD Phenom triple core processor.

The printer was working fine until...

Evening,

Apologies if I've read that wrong; but if you already have a LAN connection to the computer rooms, will you gain any benefit from investing in another cable from the server downstairs?
...

So when you navigate to the IP listed in Ipconfig nothing is displayed?

Dazza :cool:

Looks like the file system differs slightly with the different variants of iPod, the above didn't work at all on my touch but fine on a friend's nano.

Should you have the same issue there's free...

Yes, there are a few options open to you regarding free software for this purpose. I personally, use Logmein which seems to work fine. I've only ever tried using over Windows based systems so it may...

This is a pain not matter how many times you do it; if the songs originated from a CD then it's likely they will contain a DRM of some kind or will require a license to play it.

Thanks and welcome to Daniweb!

Although a few of us may have already known about that it's still good to share knowledge that we've picked up; someone mentioned XP? Didn't XP Pro have a similar...

The easiest way to do that over a different OS would probably be a piece of software such as Logmein, although for that to work you would need to have an internet connection available on your LAN.

The Toshiba range do run hot but that's part myth. It's come about because a small number of them have just a fancy heatsink with no fan so it's almost silent. However it gets fairly warm, people...

It's a slight worry I know, I've noticed that you can download Windows Movie Maker direct from their site as even the Ultimate version of 7 will not come with it unlike Vista.

The "Fix" option in...

Hello!

Probably a rather simple one (and I'm far too tired to be able to bear thought to it!), when you have a wireless home network made of Windows based devices; If one of those has a USB...

Well I've finally been able to get hold of my license key, although I had to install Safari as Explorer was having a bad day.

I'm failing to see the improvement with 7, and also noticed a couple...

Evening / Morning all!

Been a while I know, but I finally got round to installing my copy of Windows 7. Yes I'll openly admit there may have been a slight climax (like a small child at christmas),...

Did like the last few lines,

:cool:

The main problem is that if people really want to get round whatever security measures you've put in place - they will. People have far more knowledge about various systems now than they did just a...

It didn't do anything??

I read that a bit too quick so may have missed a bit; but if a company such a Ford has already purchased say Windows powered systems. Could switching to Linux now really make so much of a difference?...

Sounds like you've had some fun! Glad it's all sorted.

I was actually looking at buying a 64 Bit version of vista, when I clicked to purchase it displayed that page.

Dazza :cool:

Most large chains have an agreement with MS to only stock Vista now. However I know that most small independants are still stocking it or you could always try eBuyer?

Hope this helps,

Dazza...

Ah; the link isn't working now - but I did attach a thumbnail while it worked.

No malware or any other nastys, but it did sulk a bit before I promptly rediscovered Google. May get a T-Shirt made after this, "If in doubt - Google it!" haha

Hello,

I know this is over reported and pretty much common knowledge amongst most circles (most of whom frequently orbit Daniweb) but I've decided to revisit an age old issue.
The problem of...

Kenneth,

Firstly thank you for your post & Welcome to Daniweb!

If you've tried a reset via the button as per instructions, tried turning it off for 30secs or more then restarting and tried a...

That's similar to a ATX reset, but for that you would take out all power sources (cable, battery etc) then hold the power button for 30 seconds.

This should solve the majority of power problems.
...

They've clearly been working on the batteries then, as most of the recent releases will run for 24hrs if flash based and 12 hrs if HDD based. Although this greatly depends on how it's used and...

Don't give our already trigger happy Mp's a bandwagon to clamber onto; they'll have it passed through and rates drawn up before the day's out! lol

Hello!

If you're thinking of buying a copy of Ms Vista (especially Home Premium) then you should open the pack and check the disk while with the staff member that served you if possible.
