Just a quicky. We rent our house, not long moved in. Was trying to oder BB this morning and apparently the line is already registered to an ISP so we cannot sign up with anyone as it would be classed as migrating ISP's and of course we don't have any details or details of the previous...

At the lights outside the tech park down from the Uni. I wasn't paying much attention but there may have been a CS sticker in the rear window.

Having just moved house we do not currently have a phone provider. I understand that BT locks you in a 3 month minimum contract, does this mean that if we wanted to take up the offer from pipex talk ( http://www.solo.pipex.net/pipextalk/ ) that we could not do so for 3 months?

Think i'll just keep adding to this thread with my problems ;) Few things I'm stuck on at the moment: 1. Getting my MX700 mouse buttons to be recognised. Linux currently thinks it's a 5 button when it's a 10. I don't appear to have evdev loaded as it freaks out and dumps me to a prompt when i...

Can anyone tell me how to dual boot with 2 HDD's? I have XP Pro on an 80 Gig and will be putting Linux (Ubuntu 5.10) on a 40 Gig.

Is antivirus needed on linux? I've read that as the default user is not root that the worst that happens if your home folder gets messed up.

What's this like? As far as I understand linux doesn't support direct x so games have to use open gl and this can cause a decrease in performance.(?) Does anyone play demanding games e.g. FEAR on a linux distribution and if so do you have any problems?

Still looking for a BB Provider and cheaper call package than BT. Force9 seem pretty good with their premier BB coming in at £21.99 per month (2mb + 30:1 contention) They also offer VOIP telephone service. I understand I can use a VOIP phone or get an adapter to use a conventional phone. My...

We're moving in Januray and NTL (our current tv, phone and internet provider) have messed up our plans (home move tool said new house was in a cable area but it's not). So... we need a new broadband provider. A number of checks say that we can only get 2mb so what ISP would people suggest I...

You know how the game checks with the Cd to authenticate it before playing? The last 2 games I bought are causing me problems. Games: DOW Winter Assault FEAR They keep failing to athenticate and can take anwhere up to 6 tries at authenticating. I have no problems with my DVD drive, it...

This past week or 2 my pc has been powering down when idle. It doesn't turn off as the power light remains on - kind of like hibernate, only this feature is turned off. Power settings are set to always on. Any ideas? using XP Pro + SP2. Last night/today has been the worst, it's done it at...
