    TV reception issue

    Just run some coax from the 2nd output on the sky box to the tv in question and get a magic eye from ebay. Then you'll have Sky tv in your kitchen and as long as you buy good quality coax the picture will be as good as the tv with the box connected to it.

    Whats better ? Windows Vista or Xp Professional ?

    I find Vista a lot more stable than XP, I haven't had it fall over once yet. I gave up XP for Linux for 2 years and then moved to Vista because I missed gaming. I honestly have nothing bad to say about Vista. I think people who bad mouth Vista are usually those that either have a low end system...

    minibook

    Anyone got a CnM minibook? My better half ordered one which arrived today and so far seems to be working fine with one exception, abi word is defaulting to chinese. If I change the default language in abi word it doesn't save it when you close down. I can't see anywhere in the very basic linux...

    Dreams / Looping HD videos?

    Apart from wincustomize is there anywhere else that offers decent ones for free? I'm using Stardock Deskscapes.

    Sky Box Down, anyone help?

    Check if anyone else is having the same problem to see if it's the dish or your box?

    computer help!

    I'm more intrigued by what Windows 2003 XP is ;) OCed = overclocked BIOS = Basic Input Output System which basically some software on the motherboard which allows your hardware to function together. Does the error happen at random or when you do something in particular?

    ebay

    You know how they were running a beta interface but you could opt out and use the old one? Is the beta now no longer beta or are they playing silly buggers with me? I find it really annoying how you have to jump through hoops to list by buy it now. Edit: Found it, at the bottom in small writing...

    micro atx case

    I've got this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/122772 but it might not be small enough for you? Fits a standard ATX PSU in it.

    Microsoft looks to 'Mojave' to revive Vista's image

    4GB on 64bit. Aside from the usual background stuff the above reflects FF and NOD32.

    Microsoft looks to 'Mojave' to revive Vista's image

    Not sure you read the article properly. Mojave is Vista. The point they made was that take a bunch of Vista haters, show them Vista but call it something else and they suddenly like it. What is a standard spec pc these days? I run vista on an X2 4600+ with 4GB ram which is hardly anything...

    Virus Warning

    Is he visiting dodgy websites and the AV is removing the trojan and then the firewall is alerting that it was there?

    Free Firewall etc

    Here's a 3 month trial of NOD32 http://www.techmixer.com/free-3-month-eset-nod32-license-key-from-nod32club-china/ What they say does work, I did it myself.

    TomTom One doing my head in

    Connecting it is the only way to get the updates. It also allows you to plan your route via your pc which can be quicker as you can use the keyboard to type in the address/postcode etc.

    IE7Pro

    Currently using IE7 because Firefox has been giving me compatibility trouble and came across this program http://www.ie7pro.com/ amongst other things it adds spellcheck and adblocking to IE7. Worth a look if your an IE7 user. Have to say not having used IE for years it has improved a lot...

    TomTom One doing my head in

    Just confirming that it's all working now as it should. Used it properly today without issue. Very unimpressed that it didn't work like this out of the box and that updates can so easily make it unusable!

    TomTom One doing my head in

    ok it all seems to be working properly, been using it on and off all morning from my desk and not had any problems. Only annoyance I have now is that every time I connect it to my pc it prompts me to install TomTom home when it's already installed. Can I stop this?

    TomTom One doing my head in

    From what I've been reading that's no guarantee I'll get one that works. Seems to be down to the software. I've just left it for about 30mins and its found 6 satellites so perhaps it's just very slow after the software update.

    TomTom One doing my head in

    Backed everything up and risked the latest update again to 8.010. This time it seems to have worked fine however it's not finding any satellites.If I plug it into my pc and operate the tomtom that way it finds loads of satellites. Confused!

    TomTom One doing my head in

    Turned it on this morning ready to start swearing and it's working how it should! Let me plan a route, watch the demo of the route etc without locking up or crashing or anything. Not sure I'll update the software though, don't want to be back where I started again.

    TomTom One doing my head in

    Thanks for the help mate. I'm turning it off for tonight before I break it again. Shall have another look tomorrow and see if it will actually let me plan a route without restarting. I got it from argos, also the 3 year warrebty so swapping it shouldn't be an issue.

    TomTom One doing my head in

    right! It updated the software to 7.166 which isn't even the latest version but it's now working again!

    No joy. Also tried what is suggested on the tomtom website and now all I get the the screen with the cross, doesn't even load now.

    TomTom One doing my head in

    1 step forward and 2 back. After much faffing it decided there was another update which now lets me set the route and stuff via the pc which is more than it would previously let me do. However, now the tomtom won't get past the startup graphic so I can't use it at all now.
