Thanks skinny, I'll have a look.

What is an " undf" file?

It depends on the context. Frequently is is a file type that windows has no application to process it. In other words no association. An example might be a video or audio file that windows cannot play. The dot extension may be one that you have no software to process. Have a look at the extension and do a search on Google for some software or post the extension here.

My printers packed up (end of life) So I now want to switch from Ink Jet to Laser. It's not all about costs for me so my research tells me that Kyocera are worth the trouble in terms of reliability and maintenance options. Anyone using this one http://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.co.uk/index/products/product/fsc5150dn.html if so what do you think please?

I did have a Kyocera laser printer for my business and it was very reliable even though it had very heavy use.

Thanks H/S, that confirms my thinking.

My only concern is I want a wireless one which that model above is not but I read somewhere that it can be altered to be so. I will have to confirm that with them on Monday.

cheers `stack

Still problems with windows 8.

Upgraded to 8.1, but it doesent seem to make a lot of difference, it's still useless.

have been nosing around ebay for a W7 disc, and can buy one brand new for £40 ish.





Will it work on the new machine or am I doomed?

Doesn't the new PC have a downgrade to Win 7?

No, or if it has, I don't know where to find it.

It was a cheap laptop (£250) so probably doesent have the premium package.


However, came across this "fix" in my travels, does anyone have experience of this fix?

Max - you can boot straight to the desktop in windows 8.1.

skinny, yes got that, but it's still a pile of crap.

Anything that will improve it's hands on working would be better.

As lots of peeps have said, and I agree, it's tablet software and not really suited to a laptop.

Downloaded that stardock fix, works a treat so far, much better.

Just over £3 all in.

Another reason not to use a laptop :-)

Microsoft warns users of hacker attacks

Microsoft has warned that hackers could exploit a "vulnerability" in its operating system to gain user rights to the affected computers.

It said attackers could exploit this by requesting users to preview or open a specially crafted email or web content.

Microsoft said it was "aware of targeted attacks" and was investigating.

The issue affects Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Office 2003 - 2010, and Microsoft Lync.

The current versions of Microsoft Windows and Office are not affected by the issue - which centres on a graphics component.

What's the easiest way to reduce the size of an MP4 file?

It is very difficult as it is a compressed file format. You would have to put it through video editing software that either reduced the quality or the frame size and save it to a new file name.

Haystack - thanks - I'm playing (badly) with Videopad atm.
