The other alternative is to download a new driver for the graphics. Windows sometimes reverts to the default Windows driver.

Getting too technical for me

OK got you Haystack :-)

TOK, try going into the System Devices list, click on Display Adapters, right-click and Uninstall on the card name, and do the same for Monitors. Then reboot.

i think i might have a problem with my speed on NTL,i have a 10 meg connection,
i have done these tests,(see below)
NTL techies have said my speed is ok,

Your estimated download speed is: 3,499 kbits/sec (437 KBytes/sec) (max estimated speed is 2mb)

Download speed: 2004 kilobits per second
Test details: 3354 kilobytes downloaded in 13.39 seconds.

Your line speed:

13161.3 Kbps

1612.9 K bytes/sec

Your line speed:

8680.9 Kbps

1063.8 K bytes/sec

Your current bandwidth reading is: 4.68 Mbps

which means you can download at 599.19 KB/sec. from our servers.

768 kbps DSL
1000 kbps DSL
1500 kbps DSL/T1/Cable Modem
4793.5 kbps YOU

the way NTL said they calculate is i was getting a download speed of 1.16 then X 8 which = 9 meg conection,and they said it was good,
does this add up or are they doing a syed,(make it up as they go)

can someone please tell me if i am getting the 10 meg speed that i am paying for,

thanks in Ad

scussy.
I have 4meg cable with bluyonder and have judt run the test from ADSL web site.
I got 3852 Kbps downstream and 357 upstream, these are upper limit for 4meg.
for info my downstream was less than 1/2 this last week and they tried to tell me that it was alright but I tried 3 different tech guys untill one spent about 30 mins changing settings and the speeds shot up. (do not ask what he made me do as I do not have a clue, I would rather deal with Traffic Wardens than change settings). Graeme.

thanks Graeme,
so it looks like they are telling porkies,i don't like changing my settings as they just read from a book in india,my speed was ok untill my boy started downloading films,so maybe they don't like the amount we are using,

TOK,

Don't keep us in suspence.

Did you crack it?

TP

.

my download speed has now gone below my upload speed,
i have a new modem ,a blue one,to replace my old silver one which i have just been told by NTL that the one i have (silver 200 box) does not go upto 10 meg download,i will report back next thursday when i have a tech comming to replace,
see what that does,i also got a reduction for the next 3 months,

i have just had built a new PC and will transfer files over to it,after this i will clean install and just run my charts and email from the old one,
with the clean install,i have windows XP PRO OEM,will i get the ID product key has been used and need anther one from MS or will it know that its the same key code and same PC,

thanks in ad

many thanks for the response, not too sure how to disable the internal modem, had a look in the BIOS but not listed. The laptop is a Sony Vaio A517M if it helps

pth

In wondiws go to control panel, system, device manager, modems, your modem!

Lots of options there.Undergener there is a enable or disable feature at the bottom of the dialogue box ('use this device' or 'do not use this device')

Installed the latest automatic update and my office 2003 windows programmes ( Word Excel etc) all started to freeze the application when I stared using open and save as functions.

Used restore function to get back before update and office programmes work OK.

Forgot to change auto update settings and it did it all again so it must be Microsofts update but hey I cant be the only guy with this problem surely??

Looking to upgrade my motherboard and cpu, which are the best boards/bundles to get at the moment between 75-125, would also like card/usb slots at the front and back if possible

I've got a MSI KT33,AMD anthlon 1.2MHz with 512 Ram at the moment

I've just found out what my 'F11' key does.

Here are some Reviews and Prices

depends on what you will use it for,
