I suggest that you run Scandisk if you are on Win9x or if you are using Win 2K or XP open a command prompt window and run CHKDSK.

Could someone tell me how to make link clickable on the BB please. Ta in advance!!

Thanks Troll, sorted now. just an article on US thread I wanted to put up. But it was quite long. Cheers!!! :-)

I think I asked this before about networking PC's etc but????

I have broadband with AOL on the main PC using the modem supplied by AOL. I want to connect another PC to access the internet on a wireless network.

PC World say that AOL will not permit internet connection thru an internet gateway. I must say that when I had two PC's networked together using bt as the service provider they worked OK but when I changed to AOL it failed to work. Even the network printer failed to work after a period of time.

Before I commit myself by buying various wireless router etc can anyone unequivocably state that AOL is suitable for my use.

Both PC's have Xp.

2Abbey, AOL uses NAT (Network Address Translation) which is I believe the reason there are problems sharing a dial-up connection. I don't know if broadband suffers from the same problem but surely the only unequivocal answer is going to come from AOL itself? Try their help pages.

Not sure why you're using AOL since there are plenty of much cheaper and better broadband providers. Try Pipex or Plusnet. There is plenty of information at http://www.adslguide.org.uk/ .

When I signed up you contracted for 12 months. Even when I was having problems with the broadband setup and they failed to fix the problem I informed them that they were in breach of contract, that I was going to terminate etc.

A broadband indicator is flagged against your telephone line, they were unwilling to remove it and no other supplier would take on my custom without this being removed.

I quite agree with you that there are other suppliers out there but it seesm that I am locked into a contract (5 months to go) with a supplier that is operating restrictive practises and doesn't seem to be bothered about customer satisfaction.

The website wireless gateway seems to suggest that these problems are not insurmountable, however I am reluctant to buy wireless kit if it will not work.

2Abbey

Either you will get it working with AOL or you will get it working with a new supplier in 5 months time. You are only risking the possible price reduction of your wireless kit over the next five months.

2Abbey, there is information at ADSLguide on the message boards, e.g. here . It doesn't look good. Personally I would ditch AOL asap and get yourself a proper ISP. AOL is a prehistoric beast dating from the days there was little content on the Web and ISPs provided it themselves. Most people don't need that anymore.

I want to transfer Videos onto my computer and then burn them Onto DVD.I have a DVD Re-writer.
Is there a programme available to do this?
Iain

2abbey, I agree with what others say, ditch AOL, I hate AOL for the way they play with internet standards and stop things working. They DO stop you sharing the link and they also stop several other things. Get shot of them ASAP and start again with a decent ISP.

Any ideas on The VID/DVD Prob?

Iain, I don't know much about this area, but assuming your videos are on tape you would need a card with a video input (normally combined with a TV tuner as a TV card), Hauppauge are a brand name, and software to convert the video stream to DVD format and write it. Check the software provided with your DVD-RW to see if there are any hints there. You would also need a fast machine, video processing is pretty CPU-intensive.

Just checked on eBay and there are plenty of TV cards advertised.

silly question but be obliged if u can help.
I cant view attachments in email on IE6 - i can see the paper clip -but when click on it seems disabled somewhere

G550 Dual Head Adapters
I have a Matrox G550 Dual-Head adapter which has a vga and a dvi connector
on the back panel. I am using it with a digital flat panel display and an
old analog monitor. I was previously under the impression that I could
upgrade it to drive two digital displays by the use of a special cable
adapter. However, looking at the Matrox site is confusing me - there
appears to be two G550 boards, a standard and a dual dvi version which
requires the adapter cable for two digital displays.

Is this true? If so how can I tell which version I have? and can the
standard be upgraded to a dual dvi version?

Thanks for any help.
