Hi everyone, I'm dual booting Ubuntu with Windows 7. In Ubuntu, I can see and access my Windows partition as it shows up as a 'local disk' in Ubuntu. Great! Windows 7 and Ubuntu are both on my one hard drive (I partitioned it to accommodate Ubuntu). I would like to have access to my...

Hi, I have recently switched ISPs from Virgin to BT.com. I'm currently using BT's Yahoo email, which is of course, web-based. I have tried to get Thunderbird (my favourite), Eudora and Opera to work with my BT Yahoo email, as I would like a client that I can work with offline. None of...

Hi guys, Running Windows 7 on my old PC, which I keep upstairs. Just maxed out the board as far as memory is concerned (2GB) and the performance is great, except for watching DVDs, whereas the screen output jitters a little. The problem lies with the graphics card. The board supports 1.5V...

Having only been on here on & off for the last few months. I have noticed that there were no new posts by BigBrother, Donkey, megamaced. When I was a regular on here a couple of years back, these guys were avid posters. Just wondered why they don't seem to be around now. David.

Hi, Have not been around for sometime, so hope everyone is doing okay. I'm currently dual booting XP & Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop (I have Ubuntu installed on an external USB drive in this case). XP boots first if I don't initiate Ubuntu from the menu. Can I change the boot order, so that...

Hello, all. I have the abovementioned laptop. On watching a movie file, say, an AVI, for instance, after a few minutes, the screen will dim. I assume this is a kind of power management feature. If I press any key, the screen will return to full brightness. I have checked Power Management...

Hello everyone, I'm a complete noob as far as gaming is concerned. Just bought a games controller pad - only a cheap one - 'Tesun' is the make. The pad is installed correctly and appears to be working fine as far as tests in properties are concerned. I have installed a few games: Nexiuz...

Hi, Not sure if this is the right forum for this post, but it seems more appropriate than the others. I have a newish website that is being crawled by Googlebots, and other spiders. They seem to be eating up a lot of my 10000MB bandwidth. From what I've read, the presence of these...

Just installed Suse 11.0 (I like it)! However, on running Firefox, I resized the window so that I could see the entire page on my monitor, File, edit, view, history, bookmarks, etc. Had it filling the monitor's screen so that I could see everything. Great, I thought! However, when I close...

Hi, all. Downloaded the Suse 11.00 Live CD and ran it on my pc. On the live CD desktop, there was an option to install. I choose this option and the install appeared to be successful. However, I noticed that once I had installed, the desktop had only a few program icons for apps and no...

Hi, all. Here's a copy and paste from a friend of mine. Any solutions please! "If you know how to open 2 mail windows for the same provider, I'd be very grateful. I have 2 different Yahoo email accounts, but it only recognises one at a time, which is a bit of a problem, as I'm always...

My second HDD (40GB) has dropped to 31.4 GB with no data on it. I know that some space is taken up with formatting and the way HDD manufacturers calculate HDD capacites, but it's still a big drop! No big deal, as I have plenty of other HDD space on my system. Just curious as to how the...

After trying a few Linux distros over the past year, I decided to go back to my old favourite, Ubuntu, with a view to installing the KDE desktop, thus effectively making it 'Kubuntu'. I dug out my old Ubuntu (ver 6.10, I think) setup CD and the install began. However, I was soon confronted...
