    OT. Recommendations for broadband

    I use Plusnet and have done since 2001. They are very honest and open about their traffic shaping policies and limits. They are not the cheapest, but they do have a UK call centre, and a very good web site for managing your account. They also have lots of extra features that most ISP's don't...

    Ahhnuuus kissing of Cristiano Ronaldo

    I have to say that the Crowd Noise Only is a winner (I think Sky do it don't they?) It basically means that the crowd commentates on the match for you, instead of some idiot commentator getting excited about Ronaldo's thighs. Also far more socially acceptable in a group situation where not...

    Windows etc - Useful Shortcuts

    Alt-Tab is the king of keyboard shortcuts ((hold Shift to go backwards), click with the mouse to select one directly, or use left & right arrows (all with the Alt key held down). (Win-Tab is the Vista fluffy Aero alternative that I never use). Alt-PrtScr copies the current window (in focus) to...

    O/T BT Vision

    We have it, and I think it's pretty good considering you don't pay for the hardware. We just pay for BT Broadband (basic package) and any On Demand content that we watch. I haven't subscribed to any of the packages. The Freeview side of things works well, with dual tuners, and will still...

    I've been on telly today with TWO groups that were once number 1 in the charts!

    Strictly speaking, the title of the track was "Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs". I stumbled across it the other day on youtube, my 8 year old daughter loves it. Very strange.

    O/T Microsoft Outlook help needed

    Look in your Folder List in Outlook (this is sometimes hidden - depending on your Outlook version and personal view preferences), you should see the second "Personal Folders" listed (the one that you imported from, that is on your USB drive). It's usually at the bottom. Right click on it and...

    Recommend a decent Sunday lunch in a nice country pub near Brighton

    The Half Moon at Warninglid is run by the people who used to own the Fountain in Ashington (they sold out about 3-4 yrs ago). Went there for the first time on Saturday evening. Very impressed.

    Tech help please

    It is likely you are getting interference from a neighbour, although it could be all manner of other things (as clippedgull said). Try logging in to the Belkin Web Configuration page (RTFM) and changing your Wireless channel. There are only 13 channels available, and most people don't bother...

    Switching it off and on is the problem

    Change the boot order in the BIOS setup screens (Press DEL/F2/F11/F12 or whatever it tells you at boot up). Look for something like "Removable USB Devices" and move it below the "Hard Disk" in the list.

    Yet more computer help

    As you say, disk failure would not stop it booting. Try another PSU if you have one, failing that (if you're up to it) remove and re-insert the CPU. If that doesn't work then it could be the motherboard - it's just very rare.

    Yet more computer help

    Unplug the power cable and hold the power switch on to use up any stored power. Then open it up and check how dusty it is in there. If it's bad then very carefully give it a vacuum, taking care not to touch anything. (dust causes a lot of problems with memory and the cpu heatsync). If it's...
