Thanks a lot, Addis. I just did the conversion to NTFS on my laptop (which came new, in FAT32 for some strange reason). It worked a treat and I did not lose anything - well done! David

Good luck, Big Bro. Dentists are not my favourite visiting places! However, I had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago, and it was a breeze compared to regular dentist visits - much easier than I had anticipated. Bon chance!

Well, Windows seems to be at it again for me. After the XP splash screen, onto the desktop, I get the following message: RTHDCPL.EXE - ILLEGAL SYSTEM DLL RELOCATION. The system DLL user 32.dll was relocated in memory. The application (I have no idea which 'application' this refers to )...

Okay, guys. Some very good ideas there - thanks a lot.

My girlfriend's PC runs very slow - no surprise when the specs are: Motherboard: ASUStek Computer INC. KM7 1 .XX Bus Clock: 100 MHz BIOS American Megatrends INC. 627.10 01/19/2000 128 Mbs of RAM (in slot 1 - slots 2 & 3 are empty). 550 MHz AMD Athlon Unbelievably, to me at least, she's...

Yes, they are all real, apparently.

Hello, My girlfriend's PC seems to be freezing at 25% completed when she tried a defrag the other day. I have to tell you that I checked her PC's specs the other day because she said the PC was running slow (believe me it was!). I was 'amazed' to find that she is running XP on a 533 MHz...

Thought this was was quiet good: Cats That Look Like Hitler!

Just a thought, as you're looking to buy a laptop. I bought his one about a month ago. It's a superb value for money unit with a good spec. Acer Aspire 3692WLMi LX.AFL05.041 from microwarehouse.co.uk

Right - finally got it sorted!! What I needed to do was setup a username & password for entering after I clicked on the Ubuntu (Windows Server) icon on My XP laptop. I just logged-onto Ubuntu, opened up a terminal and typed: sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME Then entered a password. I then...

I have been trying to network my Ubuntu desktop PC with my Windows XP laptop over a wireless broadband connection. After bungling about, not really having a clue as to what I should be doing, I have managed to access nominated files & folders from my Windows XP laptop on the Ubuntu PC. Great...

Thanks for your help, Saba. I've just got it sorted via Netgear's tech support. It needed to have the 'Access control' box unchecked in the Netgear online setup screen. No, don't ask me to explain the logic of that (I would have thought it would have to be the other way round! The...

Well, I would at least like to try it if I could get it to work!! (see link below) http://www.hardwareforums.com/internet-access-laptop-no-go-so-far-17349/ I think the concept is very appealing (no bloody trailing wires everywhere). However, there are issues of security (people tapping...

Well, I finally have taken the plunge and opted to go wireless broadband, as opposed to a hard-wire ethernet connection. Bought myself a Netgear wireless broadband modem/router from Virgin Media and was able to set it up on my laptop and get an internet connection. Good, but my aim is have...

I've just purchased a wireless router eBay.co.uk: WL115 Air-Link+ High speed Wireless Router (item 300081076220 end time 14-Feb-07 11:14:17 GMT) I'm completely stumped on setting it up. Ideally, I want to wireless network my Linux PC upstairs with my laptop, which I mainly use in my...

I've just seen the following quoted on the internet - is what is being quoted really true? Your comments, please! Quote: "Vista must be the best advertising scheme for Linux ever imagined. Just look at the end user agreement - you allow Microsoft to look at all the software on your PC -...

I work nights in a care home. We have a rather old PC that is being problematic. I booted it up a couple of weeks back when I was on night duty, and at POST, the screen read that the CMOS settings were incorrect. I went into BIOS and reset the date and time, rebooted, and the PC successfully...

Ahhhh, so are you saying that I don't actually need to buy a wireless router? I hope you're right as it would save me coughing up for a wireless router. However, I can't really see it working. I just think that a wireless router would be needed in order to interface with the in-built...

Thanks, Saba. Some good advice to be going on with.
