If you have a PC problem lets hear about it, we may be able to help!

 

Cheers brianboru, have windows 98se and found updates from your link.

Good Morning all.

My wife wants to buy a Laptop and the question is:

Which one is the best value for money?

Her budget is 1100.

Regards

Jeff

Go to any electrical shop for surge protectors they are all very good. PC World, Argos ect

Buy a mag like PC Shopper. It will give you idea. It depends entirely what you want the lap top for. If do not want one for gaming, video, graphic or some such you can get very reasonable priced ones.

washlander,

My wife is a GP so it will be used for medical matters
and e-mail.

If that is all you want it for,ie records, spread sheets and the like then there are several relly good deals on the market.

Dell or Compaq come well recommended. I'd go for larger screen and more ram rather than a higher processor speed. Tons of choice for 1100.

PCWorld (Ugh!) Have a nice Compaq for 999 inc or build your own at www.dell.co.uk

Many Thanks for the advice guys I will inform my wife.

Best Regards

Jeff

Click on the help button on ADVFN - then follow the instructions to get streaming working. Streaming uses java so somewhere in there should be your answer.

I've no idea how it happened but I appear to have deleted the Disk-Cleanup program from my PC. And no it's not still in the Recycle Bin. Is there any way I can get it back?????
TIA, Guitarist.

Some help with networking please, it’s a new area for me…

I'm about to get broadband ADSL for my desktop (Win 98SE). I want to link my laptop (XP Home) to the desktop so that I can access broadband from the laptop too. I want a wireless link and from info I’ve found using Google I’ve concluded that the following is all I need: a wireless PCI card for the desktop and a wireless PCMCIA card for the laptop.
Two questions:
Is my conclusion correct?
Is the mix of Win98SE and XP ok for broadband sharing?

Geonic, yes, it should work fine. Windows 98SE includes internet connection sharing (not plain Windows 98). The two wireless cards should be the same make or preferably bought as a set to ensure there are no incompatibilities.

Thanks Kayak. Compatibility issue noted.

Has any got last tuesdays FT- In it there was an article on cross transfer of data from one PC to a new PC without the need to reload using discs and passwords [which is such a pain].
If they have can they tell me the web address of the company that produces these cables which allow me to do the above.
Thanks in advance.

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.

probably a silly answer but have you tried right clicking it and saving it to file and opening it from there (after running anti virus check) I was just browsing, hope it helps, probably won't!

optomistic: tried all that but no dice
