Is there a programme available to do this?

2abbey, I agree with what others say, ditch AOL, I hate AOL for the way they play with internet standards and stop things working. They DO stop you sharing the link and they also stop several other things. Get shot of them ASAP and start again with a decent ISP.

Any ideas on The VID/DVD Prob?

Iain, I don't know much about this area, but assuming your videos are on tape you would need a card with a video input (normally combined with a TV tuner as a TV card), Hauppauge are a brand name, and software to convert the video stream to DVD format and write it. Check the software provided with your DVD-RW to see if there are any hints there. You would also need a fast machine, video processing is pretty CPU-intensive.

Just checked on eBay and there are plenty of TV cards advertised.

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

Tools/options, security tab, and check that "do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" is not checked.

Thanks Kayak. Your the Man to ask it seems.
Cheers Iain.

G550 Dual Head Adapters
I have a Matrox G550 Dual-Head adapter which has a vga and a dvi connector
on the back panel. I am using it with a digital flat panel display and an
old analog monitor. I was previously under the impression that I could
upgrade it to drive two digital displays by the use of a special cable
adapter. However, looking at the Matrox site is confusing me - there
appears to be two G550 boards, a standard and a dual dvi version which
requires the adapter cable for two digital displays.

Is this true? If so how can I tell which version I have? and can the
standard be upgraded to a dual dvi version?

Thanks for any help.

Good utilty is the HTML editor on the traders thread header
It points to http://www.snappytrader.com/editor/editor.html but you can cut and paste graphics & links to it then it gives you the HTML you need

Thinking of buying a newish dell optiplex on ebay, does anyone know much about them, particularly if they have full or half height cards and how expandable they are - I'm thinking of a multi screen card eventually.

(There are two flavours of Optiplex, a small compact one and the larger one which is the one I'm thinking of).

Help please - just bought and connected one of the 18" tft Dells mentioned on another thread. I've done the properties/settings/extend my windows desktop/ok etc but all I get on the 2nd monitor is the wallpaper - I can move the mouse over it but cannot drag anything onto it - what am I missing?
windows xp/radeon dualhead card.

Try stretching the window (re-sizing it) instead. To do that you start by first reducing its size from full size. Then go to the side of the window and look for the little double headed arrow symbol to start the resizing.

Doc - tried that already - to no avail!

edit - Doc after much perseverence - it did work - obviously something I'll have to get used to. Thanks.

skinny, check you have the latest version of the graphics card driver.

Thanks Kayak - see updated post 1054 - operator error!!!!

Well done skinny. :-)

Doc - having had a quick look at your link - this was probably my problem.

You'll probably want to move windows, applications or programs to the second monitor. However, don't even try to move a fully maximized window! It will refuse to be dragged to the second monitor until you have reduced its size or clicked on the restore button. Once you've done either of those functions, grab the top of the window, with the left-mouse button depressed, and drag it over.
