A question about : My computer just blew up

I just thought this was so funny.
I'd been having loads of problems with my computer anyways. But yeah it just decided to blow up, which i thought was nice since i have a huge project which requires loads of computer use, typical!!!
Its good I have a spare computer at hand otherwise i'd be in deep doodoo.
The moral of the story is, don't buy a computer from mesh. I really dont recommend them.

A question about : Real Download keeps popping up ......

Hope someone can help here, this is driving me mad ....

Soon after I've connected to the Internet, Real Download appears at the top of my screen and tries to download an MSN.co.uk page (I recently deleted the MSN Messenger program). It's only started doing this recently. Anyone advise as to how I can stop it doing this?

Thanks.

A question about : Free

Yes - You already have it if you have Windows XP Pro

In your local area connection - properties - Advanced - then turn it on!

A question about : I feel the need for speed!

I've been having a few probs with my NTL broadband and would be grateful for any suggestions!!

I've been using the 150k speed for a while but a snail moves faster so the other day I decided to upgrade. I now supposedly have the 750k speed but thats nowhere near what I'm getting. I've been doing a speed check at various intervals over the past couple of days and the speed is consistently around 300k.

A question about : Networking help needed, please?

Guys

I need some networking help.

I already have a laptop which connects to a Netgear wireless router/modem for internet access, but due to the limited hard drive space I decided to create a wireless home network with an older PC, which I can use as a type of server.

A question about : Scart question

Hi, im curious about why there is an inteference when there are 2 scarts connected to my tv. On AV2, I can see the output of AV1 in the background. It doesnt affect the picture quality that much as I have been watching like this for a number of years. Its noticable most when I press services/tv guide/box office on my sky remote. Does anyone know why?

Cheers.

Nick.

Does anyone know if the www.whatlaptop.co.uk site is having problems? I've had "cannot find server" for the last 2 days although tonight I thought I'd try pinging the site which worked ok.
