    The top piccie – you were blowing (or picking) your nose into a bowl of cereals so as to add extra flavour. (Note the open CD drawer ready to play the ‘Birdie Song’)

  • FYI – if you meant Watford Electronics Ltd then they are in insolvent liquidation.

    The scuzzi card is no use to you with a lapdog and it really sounds like a driver issue is causing your problem. however it may well be that the scanner is not capable of being supported (legacy) in WinXP.

    If all the previous posts with driver sites don’t help,…[Read more]

  • Ok then your PC and its connectivity are working perfectly and as you would expect with ‘Account A’ but won’t let you near ‘Account B’.

    The issue has to be with the way that you have set up ‘Account B’. If you had an issue with your PC in general, or with Yahoo Messenger in particular then it would not let you near either account.

    I don’t know…[Read more]

  • Well attempting to instal a Scuzzi card into a laptop is absolutely not to be recommended – particularly if it isn’t compatable with WinXP (i.e. you don’t have the correct drivers for it). Apart from anything else they are b’stards to work on (compared with a PC that is).

    It amy just be that your old scanner isn’t supported any more or that any…[Read more]

  • So what you are saying is that you have completely uninstalled Yahoo Messenger – re booted – and then reinstalled it (clean). It still lets you into one of your accounts but not the other account – is that right???

  • You may have a corruption in your Yahoo application files. To sort this uninstal your Yahoo messenger from your PC (Add/Remove programmes in Control Panel). Re start your PC to fully complete the uninstal process.

    Then download a new file from the web and save it to your hard disk. When all is satisfactorily saved click on the downloaded file to…[Read more]

  • I seem to remember having this issue myself some time ago.

    My fix was to visit the manufacturer’s site and download an up to date driver, or at least one that is compatable with XP.

    Lots of devices that work with Win 9X won’t work with WinXP – or at least their functionality is impaired.

  • Blimey – the one on the right looks just like my first Mother-in Law………… on a good day !!!

  • Yeah Tommy – it sometimes seems that way doesn’t it? I’ve been sitting here for the last couple of hours thinking about things and it strikes me that we really don’t know too much about each other do we? I have been slagged off publicly and apparently stuff posted about me on another message board as well. But I have feelings – its just that i…[Read more]

  • Thank you soulie I appreciate your wishes. I said my goodbyes to him on Tuesday in the hospice so I guess that it won’t be long now. My other good friend and Brother was recently diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus (spelling???) and he is going down really fast. You know what deeply offended and hurt me today is that none of the users who got…[Read more]

  • Being very personally criticised for not posting a condolence message on here for someone that I hardly knew, when two really close personal friends of mine are currently dying from cancer.

  • Gary “the kiddie fiddler” Glitter – and I suspect loads of others as well. They don’t realise that these files are only overwritten over a period of time, depending on how much the computer is used. They can be recovered and reassembled using proprietary software for weeks and weeks after they have been apparently deleted.

  • I believe that they bypass the recycle bin and get lost onto the hard drive, and fragmented until they are overwritten by other files and thus irrevocably lost.

  • ForumHostPB replied to the topic NORTON in the board Technical Q&A 21 years, 6 months ago

    I’m guessing you’re running into trouble with XP’s built in firewall. In the Firewall dialog, go to “exceptions” and add Symantec Antivirus to the list. See if that doesn’t fix the problem.

    Oh and since it is a part of Norton Anti Virus – you should permit it to access the internet.

  • From memory, you need to have a restore point set in the system so that you can restore back to it. This can be created by you or Windows can automatically do it if you set it to do so.

    Also I believe that the restore will only take place if there have been ”changes” in your system that make a restore necessary. If Windows cannot detect any…[Read more]
