Heart of gold wins by being everywhere and nowhere at the same time, something I seem to be good at myself....... I'm gonna keep off the Zebra crossings tho......

wifes pug has been spluttering for a few weeks, garage could'nt find anything wrong but said to try some 'performance' petrol - helped a bit but plugs were fried? Will find out more in a few weeks when first MOT due. Told her to dig out her receipts ready. Tescos fuel again... but right over here in New Milton? I use my local Esso & have had no troubles.

As poldark says bathroom rads are often in the indirect hot water circuit to your hot water storage tank, helps balance the load on the boiler and means the b'room rad is warm even in summer. - you say you have a combi boiler? do you actually mean a 'system boiler' with pump etc built in and direct fed hot water? (no airing cupboard hot water tank?) if so it may be that the rads need better balancing, as you should be able to shut off any rad in a system with no ill effects. And if the bubble of paint you popped is on the thread out of the rad it probably just needs the thread cleaning and a smear of jollup to seal it all again. Make sure you watch said plumbing person if they say they are going to flush / refill etc - many say they have and sit in the loft having a fag......

Sounds to me like your qualified to be a taxi driver Andy......

lots of sites with info on importing message files into outlook & outlook express, only prob good old Microsoft have about 5 differrnt versions of there own files, most are .pst files but do a search on ms with your outlook version and follow the descructions, nb you will need to place the .pst file (a copy of it) in the correct folder of the new outlook install or it wont be seen by the import filter, it is also rather easy to end up with double entrys. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196492 is but one of many....... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/us.../importing.mspx another, but you will need to make sure which outlook you have.......

I'm with cory on this one, you do not need to defrag unless you are hammering your HDD with video editing or loads of stuff being installed and removed the only exception being if you do a new XP install over the old one. Basically - defrag - don't bother , clean up the crap - oh yes!

CSI is a TV show Chris, when they show 'zooming' of video enhancement its a trick, you cannot do it in the real world unless the original video quality is exceptional, std cctv pics are of so low a resolution you cannot get anymore out of them unless you try colour filters etc as Dave suggests (neg, red, blue green brightness etc) but the magic filled in pixels is BS!

All good stuff Newt, good bye bob, hello good old yarn...

MOD now have sort of magnetic 'log splitter' for hard disks! methinks a disk chopped in four bits would be hard to spin but data will still be there - as it is even after putting ff into every byte - the new ff goes 'over' the old data and govmt recovery boffins can 'drill down' under a total format/wipe and get the data back. Hence the only decent destruction method is the enormous magnet followed by crushing. Also if you have a chum with a good size spot welder (200A+) it will fry just about anything - near killed a chap here who had a pacemaker. And don't go wearing decent watches or using your compass within 10 foot of one! the mag field is enormous. Hey we're missing a trick here: all those MR scanners unused in the hospitals over the weekend could be used to erase hard drives, BoingggggggggggClackackaer.........

imp & metric allen keys fit most torx security type screws as long as they don't have the centre pips. And where was the dont try this at home warning with the vid! loads of kids now running pc's with open hard drives!! Best way to kill a drive is a scrapyard magnet or an axe.

Before 'ditching' Nortons go to their site and download the NAV removal tool, you will need to run if after uninstalling Norton. Then, yup I go with AVG-Free never had a nasty at home with it. Also don't download emails etc, use 'webmail' to filter out unwanted garbage before downloading anything. At work we use NOD, which seems very good but does cost...

Take the RJ45 lead that came with the print server and plug it into the Print server & the RJ45 network socket on your PC, either use your main pc or a notebook - whatever. Turn on both. After about 5 mins the network should have negotiated - your main PC has a 192.168.2.3 as it's IP and can 'see' the Print server. Press <start> <my computer> in the address bar type 192.168.2.253<enter> This should bring up the print server set up pages, if not try the reset default function - press the reset button for ? seconds?? Once you can see the Print server pages, set up all the wireless paramerters as per your wireless network, you should then be able to 'see' your wireless router from the print server, it will be a 'service' or network or similar. Your print server may well reboot a few times each time you apply another change. Once you have setup the print server you should be able to disconnect the RJ45 lead and connect to it wirelessly, you will not be able to talk to it wirelessly before setting your wireless parameters up via the RJ45 lead. Ok now you should be able to 'add printer' on your PC, select network and browse for a printer, select your wireless network and select the printer. Good luck my man.....

Lovely old beastie, my dad used to have a 40's Dennis turntable and would go up the ladder at shows & run the hose, first time I was on tv was when we had a big sale in the 70's and I was filmed playing in it with a brass helmet on - wonder where she is now? Interesting aside - don't want to pay road tax? get a Fire engine - no VED to pay, touch thirsty though!

repeat on BBC 2 now if you missed it first time....

We used to call them 'Bumper Boots'? Must admit I've two 'converse' kids - but know way would my mum have paid what I did for 'em, Seem to think Woolies was our towns main provider.

Doh! did I read the question?? If you have a webcam that's running OK and all you want to do is see your home PC's display (including webcam etc) then you need a PC anywhere type program and this ones free http://www.tightvnc.com/ and it works! gives you total control of your PC from any other PC, just don't select <start><shutdown>!! You only need the 'viewer' software on the remote (anywhere on the net) PC. To find your home internet IP address hover over the VNC icon on the taskbar when running and it tells you the local and internet IP of your home PC, you then enter both sets of IP's in the viewer PC. NB set passwords etc as once again it's a broadcast type thingamy.

So you can connect your PC to the print server ok? and you can see the print server setup pages ok? - will be web browser pages.??? But you cannot get the print server to talk to your printer? Should have a test print function on the menu and by pressing the reset button. You have a WPA protected wireless network Chris? therefore the Print Server will not be able to talk to the network until it knows the password. Did you set this yet? can you remember it!!! You need to connect via the RJ45 port on the Print server DIRECTLY to another PC RJ45 network port with a crossover lead, set that pc's IP to be 192.168.2.xxx (I would set it to 192.168.2.100). It will take both the PC and Print server a few mins to negotiate and then the 'connected' icon should be showing for your WIRED network on your taskbar. look at it's status and it tells you the IP. you may need to disable any wireless network you have running on said PC as some struggle with having 2 live IP's also press <Start> <Run> CMD<enter> ipconfig/all<enter> write down your ip config data and post it here: Then goto 'My computer' and type 192.168.2.253 in the address window This should get you into the print servers menu and allow you to set the wireless settings etc. Looks like quite a useful little print server Chris hope you can get it to sing...

Yup, 'Expose' - good term that;)

If you want the Cam to work 'on its own' without a PC being on and / or an 'invite' you need an IP Cam, they can be wired or wireless and if you have a BB router that is wireless or IP (not USB) it can broadcast 24/7. You can still use them as 'personal' devices and many have motion detect software so you can get them to record entry events etc, useful as a security cam etc. Be very a careful with such a device, there are lists of unguarded cams on the net.

http://web.belkin.com/support/download/dow...ang=1&mode= Website works fine for me. downloaded help files drivers etc fine. Print server IP is 192.168.1.2, you will need to set your configuring PC to 192.168.1.xx (say 10) to get 'within range' of it if you can connect with a RJ45 cable. Does this beastie not have an RJ45 connection as well as the wireless one? If not then you will need to logon to the wireless router and have a look at what IP it has 'given' to the print server, then you can logon to the print server and set it up, Much easier to use a notebook first wired and then wireless to do the print server setting up before getting the wireless router involved.

Would they be GU10 bulbs Elton? mains halogen with two round prongs? They do seem to be short lived but if you look around there are 'long life' versions and LED replacements, Best to get a whole new set from a decent supplier (osram etc) swap them all and keep out of poundland. Also dust the fitting while it is off - make sure any reflector is clean as heat kills bulbs. If only one fitting is a bulb killer it may be the bulb socket has a poor connection. Normal disclaimer: don't mess with 'leccy' as it can bite, the bites can hurt, a lot!

Excellent thoughts on life & stuff from Homer, Doh! 1) "Now son, you don't want to drink beer. That's for Daddies, and kids with fake IDs." 2) "Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen." 3) "You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine." 4) "Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates is from the animals! Except the weasel." 5) "If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers." 6) "To alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems 7) "I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over 50, and if its speed changed, it would explode! I think it was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'" 8) "I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me.' Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss.' Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'" 9) "Marge, you're as pretty as Princess Leia and as smart as Yoda." 10) "Step aside everyone! Sensitive love letters are my specialty. 'Dear Baby, Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: you.'" 11) "Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time. Just like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow. Well, good night." 12) "Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get." 13) "Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't - it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such." 14) "Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way." 15) "Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain whats-his-name? 16) We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing', did you?" 17) Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're making a scene. 18) I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything! (Bart actually but Homer told him)

I had to go down to Gosport in the Hooley today, a few bits of the coast road were closed due to flooding from the sea but I pulled up on the Hover slip at Lee and took a few pics, I got out of my car to get to a flask in the boot & the wind half blew me over, I just managed to slip behind my car into the shelter of it & had to get back in from the passenger side! Somewhere in the murk is Hugeville and a Freighter was going past heading for Southampton docks, Proper hoooley it was.
