Hi all, I have noticed lately that my laptop seems to be loading internet explorer window really slowly initially, taking an age to display a picture - spends ages in a frozen sort of state! The hard drive sounds as if it accessing loads of files but nothing shows on the screen - then...

Evenin' all. The trial McAfee software that came with my Toshiba laptop has expired. I'm not really a fan of McAfee and especially Norton - I find both programs to be controlling and also they slow a machine down. I had AVG free on my last laptop and never had a moment's worry, so should I...

Can't remember if it was here or t'other side where I saw a bloke offering activation codes for KIS for sale cheap - £18 for 3 computers/2 years. Have done a detailed search on both sites but cannot find the thread. I bought - and when I installed the software on my desktop and herself's...

Hi A few times now we've lost our internet since joining VM in March. The last two times, we've been told to switch off the modem and the router so they could send a something to the router. I would have thought our lowly router would need to be on to receive this "signal" ...

Anyone got any experience of this? I don't usually need to send/receive faxes, but I do need access to faxing facilities for a short while (one of the people I need to chase for compensation after the volcanic ash debacle works by fax). I've seen various online providers, at various costs/length...

I'm in the process of setting up my new laptop (Windows 7). I was pleasantly surprised to find all of my favourites were present in internet explorer. However, the favourites are in the wrong order. :doh: I've tried "organize favourites" without any success and moving my most used sites to...

Hello. My rear emblems have been stolen, and I want to replace them. Do you know any internet site to buy them? Thanks

How did you spend your time before using the internet and joining this forum? I've been online since the days of compuserve and my email address back then was (I think) 10166,[email protected] I can remember my first real computer was a second hand 286. People came over to look at that...

My computer keeps 'offering' me Internet Explorer 8, is it any good ? should i accept it ?

My bank is offering a free download of a specialist password protection software called "rapport". I read somewhere that........ A. Providing your existing AV programs are good, then its unnecessary...... and... B. Installation of this program slows your machine down - noticeably. Currently I...

I access most of my internet from desktop icons. ISP is Tiscali. So...........if I click on this forum it loads as does the 'Club' one. Ebay wont but Youtube will. One of my online banks is accessible but the other isn't. Metcheck I can get but not the Met office. And I cant get my Internet...

Does anyone have any links to pages or instructions about how to enable my laptop to communicate with the internet via my mobile? Both have Bt and I wonder if there is a sensible page that will give me a walkthrough using the Vista Home Premium OS? Cheers Lakwa

Hi everyone, My uncle is going to buy a wireless dongle for an old laptop he has been given. How much of his 3GB monthly allowance would he use listening to internet radio? (Probably 4-5 hours per day). TIA. Paul.

I quite like O2... I've been with them almost 9 years now and never really had a complaint... until now... As part of my contract, I got offered an "Unlimited Web Bolt on"; great I though - I could use my XDA for most of my work when moving around! Then I read the small print... subject to...

Can anybody recommend any shareware/freeware to measure the amount of data that I download over any given time period? I am limited to 10 GB per month with my ISP package and sometimes I get emails saying that I am close to my limit. So I would like to monitor myself the amount of data I...

Just dropped Mrs D and her yummy-mummy friends off to see Take That at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, and I've now got to wait until 11.30 for them to come out again and chauffeur them home. I found a McDonalds restaurant just down the road with free Wi-Fi. Quarter-with in the tum, laptop out...
