Here's an interesting one for the experts :) One of our XP (Pro) machines works pretty much as a home hub/server storing all our music, photos, system backups and work files. Which works well with simple file sharing enabled as only the "adults" can access it but we want to make a few changes...

I just read this... http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/03/31/virgin.piracy.filter.trial/ I knew it was coming, but I didn't realise so soon. Though I realise my ISP has the capability to look at anything I look at, I'm still totally outraged that they will start sifting through my...

Grrr.... I've been recently "swapped" to Virgin Media (from Blueyonder, to NTL and now to Virgin)... I've kept a VERY open mind. I thought that things seemed ok, but I haven't received my first bill yet... then two or three nights ago I realise I can't access a site I visit (very) often; I...

Hi all, a small problem I hope can be sorted. I have, in the past, had Realplayer on my PC and now want to switch to Windows Media Player. Is there anyway I can transfer all the tracks from Real to Windows? If I click search in Windows Media, it says X items found, but will not load them into...

Hi, I am moving house and our new home is modern and more open plan. We are doing away with our separate study and the computor will be in a family room. I am looking at one of the media centre pc's. In paricular the sony vaio. Can I install office to these media centres and do some...

Just thought I would post from my own experience: DON'T stick adhesive labels (even ones designed for the job) onto CDs DVDs. I have just had another two discs that aren't readable by the PC - there is no visible degredation to either disc. :mad: If you have such discs re-copy them...

Am thinking of getting a media centre and wondered if anyone has any experience of one of these; http://www.higrade.com/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=3539 I am presuming here that this little beastie can record TV onto the internal disk or the DVD whilst I watch a different channel. If anyone has...

I have a CLK with a Audio 10 CD Player. No matter what cdr media i use the player has trouble locking onto a song. Eventually i get it to work with one of the songs and it will play through the album ok but i cant fast forward or rewind etc - it gets confused again and can't lock on to a...

Does anyone use Windows media centre edition ?

I'm toying with putting all my music and DVDs (maybe) onto a Hard driver player. Has anyone any experience of the fors and againsts in doing this and has anyone bought or built a system to do this?????

Last week my PC crashed big style so I had to use the manufacturers recovery disk to reinstall Windows XP. Since then Windows Media Player displays video in poor quality colour a bit like a 256 colour display. My display is set to 32bit high colour and my NVidia card has the latest drivers. I...

Evening :) I went through the pain of converting my CD collection to disk last year. I used audiograbber with the same settings for all of it. However I have reloaded my libraries on a few of my machines and seem to be missing tracks. Has anyone else found this / What do you use to play...

i dont know if i am the only one stupid enough to have done this for the last x years - but whn downloading films / videos etc quite often it attempts to play them, and comes up with an error of 'error downloading codec' I have always assumed the files were thus corrupt.. Aparantly not -...

When I click a link such as: http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/video.asp and then try to click the link to watch the video, media player launches and then gives me a message that the file cannot be found? Anybody know if this is a media player glitch or if it is my configuration. I...
