I have just converted it and the TV now sees it - thanks all.

BTW - It's the Wolf of Wall Street & 12 years a slave.

What's the film length time for your 'W of WS'? There's one going round which has miles more on it than the movie currently hitting the cinemas?

Apparently 2:59:49

[Edit: Just remember that nothing is actually free in this world, and you'll have to make sure you don't inadvertently install any of those unwanted add-ons that do nasty things to your PC as happened to Doc a little while back]

Here, here! Don't forget to untick those download boxes and exclude those toolbars!

Mind you, if you do mess up with the download, it seems to me 'AdwCleaner' will sort all/any of the affected browsers out. But once again, do watch out downloading AdwCleaner for the same toolbar addons which typically come down with any download these days.

2:59 is the regular film. See Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_wolf_of_wall_street_2013/

Jordan Belfort ('The Wolf', played by Leonardo DeCaprio) gets told 'No more nooky!' by Margot Robbie (played by Naomi Lapaglia), whilst at the same time being shown how good it actually looks and reminded just what he's going to be missing:

I think the original will be fine!

If they cut the "F" word out of the film, it would probably only be about an hour and a half long!

An amazing story! It seemed to me the 'F' word, drugs and sex all seemed entirely appropriate to the story. Cut all that out and it would be down to five minutes.

It must be the 'voyeur' element in me that made me enjoy it. :-)

The guy that the story is based on, said the other day that only 25% of what happened was shown. There was far more sex in particular and far more tablets but less cocaine and heroin.

Looking for a new windows based laptop for the wife,i guess about 15'' screen,as we have mainly used WinXp dont really want to go down the route of Win8 due to the bad press and not very user friendly.

So i would think Win7 would be the best option,brand names like Dell would be the front runner as well.And the worst bit of all is the price,i just hat spending money as i am getting more like scrooge every year.

Here is a suggestion :-



or failing that :- HP Pavillion - it comes with windows 8.1 which allows you to boot straight to the desktop thus looking like windows 7 - I personally do not have a problem with Windows 8/8.1 (think I've said that before :-) )

Or if you insist on Windows 7 - 45% Off Windows7 Laptops‎

@skinny,went for that HP Pavillion in the end,although i did not really want Win8 on the laptop,but after thinking about it if you can master it then its must be pretty easy to use :o)

Thanks again for your input.

Just need to get over the shock of spending all that Wonga,i am finding the older i get the tighter i am getting,its going to be really bad when i get to 60 in about 15 years time :-)

LOL

With windows 8.1, its a piece of p*ss to boot straight to the desktop :- Idiots Guide

A really bizarre problem:
After the outage on the EE network the other day, my router then started to play up, only allowing access to a few UK website home pages. (I am with EE/Orange on both mobile & landline / broadband).
The help desk conclude that it was the router at fault having done a number of 'ping tests' and they have duly sent me a new router. It's all set up and is running normally, allowing all of my computers and a number of mobile phones in the house to access the internet. However, the laptop running Vista belonging to the Italian lodger here, now can access the router (the router diagnostics page is showing her computer) but she cannot get past the router to the internet. We ran a Windows diagnostic and it says to unplug the router, turn off the computer, reboot both and all should work. Needless to say it doesn't. She says she has not altered anything from the time when it could connect via the previous router. I will check the boxes in the advanced internet options menu, but am wondering if there is anything obvious which I have missed?
The laptop finds the router, the router recognises the laptop but either settings in the laptop prevent it from going further or within the router. I have tried disabling her antivirus, firewall and internet security settings, but nothing changes! Five hours later and I am still b*ggering about with it!

Just in case you've been hit with some malware, see my post 10481 above.

Do the download and run a scan.

Harry, I had a doc, which i used to renew the IP number with the router but i must have deleted it. I googled this and found how to do it and got connected.

Thanks guys. Have continued my efforts and found that though the router recognises the laptop, the laptop seems to connect to the router but doesn't seem to actually recognise it. So in Network settings it picks up the network but then doesn't want to assign a name to the network device.
Am trying to get lodger to test it with another network at Uni so that we can establish whether it is the WiFi card at fault or the router.
Driving me nuts! ....especially as all the Windows diagnostics are in italian!

It sounds like the laptop's NIC might still be configured to connect to the old router, Harry.

As a start, I'd check if it's using DHCP by running "netsh interface ip show config" from the command line.
