" or is there another remedy."

I use those jobbies that relay a signal through your ring mains. Mine is a Devolo but there are lots of other brands at broadbandbuyer.

Simple and reliable.

Trying to copy old VHS videos to DVD, using a scart to scart connection, and it's coming through in black and white (Copying from my VHS recorder to my Liteon HDD DVD recorder). Any ideas?

Probably a mismatch between S-VHS and VHS, both ends need to supply and receive the same type of signal.

Thanks Kayak, the Tape is definitely only VHS. Anyway, having looked at the various websites, it seems that it's far more satisfactory to copy to the PC first then make the DVD after editing on the PC - I'd still like to be able to copy directly really though.

Why doesn't my stock watch work?

Please help, before my P.C. dies a painful death.

KEAYDIAN,

Can you tell me what is happening when you try to access it?

Ian

SC. I'm about to buy a combi vhs/dvd for exactly that task (Panasonic DMR-EZ45V). I've tried various methods of copying tape to dvd without any real success.
Perhaps it's better to buy new porn? :-)

It goes to the stockwatch screen but without showing any stocks, just the usual links to Moneyam at the top of the page.

I think it's just my P.C. having a go slow day Ian, as my email isn't working that great as well.

I know........now where did I put that baseball bat.

KEAYDIAN,

Sounds like your PC is struggling to load up the applet. YOu may want to try reloading the Java Plugin, which you can download from the following link:

Ian as your on this thread - I've been taken back to the login screen about a dozen times today?

skinny,

I have had a few reports of this - seems like some update has run (probably windows) which has knocked out the allow session cookies option. It may be that either your browser or your firewall is blocking the cookie. To change this in your browser do the following:

1. click on tools, and then internet options
2. click on privacy and then advanced
3. put a tick next to override automatic cookie handling and then put a tick next to allow session cookies - click ok on both boxes

Try restarting your machine and try again. If this does not work you will need to look at the same settings in your firewall.

Ian

Funny that Ian.

I'm was instructed to download new updates yesterday which had something to do with Java.

I've rebouted the PC, seems to be bebhaving at the moment, might be due to the baseball bat leaning against the desk.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks Ian.

getting in a pickle here with Outlook. I need to look up some dates in 2004 and 2005. I'm assuming old Calendar items are in archieve somewhere - they've dropped off current dispaly from Dec 05. The online help says I should have an archieve folder which I don't. I do have a large Outlook .pst file in windows but trying to open this gives a windows cannot open message and outlook doesn't appear in the "open with" menu despite the lookup option saying it is an outlook file. Any advice gratefully reveived.

I had login probs at the start of the day and I'd downloaded the new Java offered.

PC did sort itself out - but it took a bit of time. No idea what cured it.

TP

When I hit the download button all it says is it's "Checking configuration" and then appears to do nought.

Do I have to leave it checking?

KEAYDIAN: Just noticed your post #5348 might be due to the baseball bat leaning against the desk.

Those who have visited my office will have seen a baseball bat - a gift from Sun Microsystems, inventors of Java.

:O)
