About a month ago, parked in a car park, another car rolled into the back of my Mercedes. Smashed rear bumper, light unit and reflector. The other driver admitted liability. However, after a month Mercedes of Inverness are still waiting for a new light unit to arrive from Germany!! Great...

Cleaner is very good and free. Will clean up all the rubbish that is hiding away in temporary files/folders. Cleanup the registry and backup the registry before deleting anything. You can also list all the startup items and disable any you don't want to run. Works very well and I can...

Dell Inspiron are quite solid. Had to reinstall one for someone, after a bad trojan attack due to lack of Internet security. It had a ghost image built in and was easy to restore to its factory settings. Handy if anything goes wrong, as long as all files are backed up to something else.

Just go to www.googlemail.com and setup your account. I set one up recently.

Well being retired, I don't have to comute these days, so tend to drive fairly economically most of the time. Car: Mercedes B180 SE Cdi W245 Trip reading since last fill: 477 Diesel: 42.49 litres MPG = 51.03 I use cruise control quite a lot of the time.

First, on the machine the printer is connected to, Share the printer, giving it an appropriate name, such as EPS600. Then in Control Panel, Printers and faxes, select Add Printer and select the option to connect to a printer attached to another computer or network and that is it. I have two...

You should only use one Firewall otherwise they will clash - I would recommend you use Kaspersky.

Windows firewall should protect you from incoming problems, but will not stop you sending out problems such as viruses, trojans etc should you computer become infected. Therefore, to be as secure as possible a third party, two-way firewall is what is really recommended. Have a look here...

AVG on its own will not give sufficient cover, but with the additional Firewall you are getting adequate cover. Cheers

AVG is a good free anti-virus program, but it is not an Internet Security program. So, if you use Internet Banking, your credit or debit card etc then you really need something better than AVG. Kaspersky is a very good program and better to use than Norton products. I changed from Norton a...

Updated the PC and the Laptop without any problems. SP3 is optional at the moment, but will be pushed out by auto update possibly in June. However, make sure the machine is clean before attempting to install SP3 - just incase spyware causes a problem.

Sounds like you needed a copy of Symantecs Recovery disk. Managed to recover a laptop the other day with one I had for some time. It boots up the system with its own OS and then you can run various tasks to clean the disk and get rid of temp files and cookies. Cookies often contain the...

Well I had to pay £1.249 per litre for diesel, in the village where I live. Just north of Inverness. Now some folk have to travel at least 50 miles to the nearest filling station, so by the time they get back home, they need to top up again. Apparently two ships arrived, in Inverness last...

As DaveK states, newspapers cost the same all over the UK, so why not fuel. Why not turn it into a political rant, it is the politicians who could limit the price fuel could be sold at. The high prices are costing jobs, fishermen in the outer Islands are selling boats because they cannot...

I was over in Lochinver, a bit further north than Ullapool, where diesel was £1.30 p.litre and petrol £1.20. It is time something was done about the large variations in the cost of fuel. It should be the same price wherever it is bought. It is time the government sorted this out.

It's me age and all this Malt whisky - nothing personal Natalie:)

Didn't know women had brains!

With the sound at a normal level, 8. However, if I crank it up to max then just about 14.1. But I am getting my meagre pension from Mr Brown!

Sorry but I have to disagree with you Mike, all browsers are for everyone, it is just that some are more secure than others. The link you mention just goes to show that a lot of people use older and less secure versions of Internet Explorer. If you want the safest browser and the one that...

It can be updated through the computer or bluetooth. It comes with an in car charger, mains charger and USB cable. I update it about once a week. You can also add new camera locations. When you next update these are added to the database.
