Been doing speed check about every 15 mins since the speed dropped, now at 9:35pm it's jumped up to 50 down & 9 up. That's a huge speed discrepancy.

Around 8:10 tonight I had 64 down & 10 up, 5 minutes later the streaming started jittering, tested speeds & got 5 down & 7 up. Somethings definitely wrong. They opened another job on it yesterday &...

I thought I'd share my upgrade story.
I upgraded from W7U, didn't bother with W8 mainly because everything I read about it & the experiences I had when playing with it were bad. The computer is a...

You can get a piece of hose, hold it to your ear & move the other end over each fan in your PC box to find where the noise is coming from. But if the noise changes when you touch the power supply...

I'm happy enough with mine. Although it does occasionally reboot for no apparant reason. As far as battery life goes. Mine was diabolical after the jellybean update. Installed Juice Defender, left...

The Ford may drive slightly better, but the Honda will be far more reliable & generally cheaper to run. Parts availability for the Honda will be much better too

Yep, it was painful. I've got backups, but not enough. I've got to get one of the dead drives going again.

Thanks for the reply. I stripped the whole thing down, including cpu. Gave it a clean up, re-assembled it & left out the pci cards. Problem solved. One or all of them are faulty. Wndows installed &...

Here's one for the tech guys
Yesterday my power supply made a horrible noise. I thought maybe the thing was chocca with dust etc & the fan had seized. I removed it, had a sniff,it didn't smell...

First thing I'd check is the battery connections, leads & earth contacts. Crank the engine over for a few seconds without starting the engine if poss half a dozen times. If the terminals or wires...

Thank you
After a quick check of the emails etc, I'm spending the evening having a few cold beers with the family
Cheers

I had a Panasonic 26" CRT for 13 years before I replaced it with Philips. That was a huge mistake. The Panasonic still worked & that's more than I could say for the Philips. Got my money back on that...

It's about 20 years late, but we got there. Should make the roads a much safer place. But in the meantime, I'm getting a tank

Outside temperature sensors are normally in behind the front bumper, behind the spoiler etc. That sort of area. Somewhere out of the direct air flow

Hi Jen.. Here's another version. You have to enter the ranges you want manually. You can have up to 30. Hopefully highlighted in red, you can see where to insert/change etc.
If you always use DDMMYY...

Tested after posting & it's not working properly

Hi Jen.. I can't take full credit for this macro. I found it a while ago & it's one I've used before. I changed it a bit to make it do what I want. I think it may be of use to you...

Just leave it to die & open another account

My son did a 4 year apprenticeship + 1 year for management & to get the city & guilds qualification, all done here in NZ. He did the C&G as it's more acceptable around the world than the NZ version....

Who cares what they think. It's your money, turn it off. If it's off they can't charge you for consuming, most likely still have to pay all the other line charges etc etc etc

One of the main problems with out of balance is stuffing to much washing in the machine. It then goes round & round in a clump. It seems to affect top loaders more than front. We had F&P top loaders...
