Thanks for the responses both - I've stripped everything back, used some compressed air, and reseated everything. It's stable at the moment, although I do have my suspicions (glances at case). If it starts playing up again, I think I'll go for a PSU and see ... (Any good recommendations for a...

Hi all, Hoping somebody suggest what I should be looking at with a problem that I've got with my machine. It's an E6300, 2 Gb, GA-956P-DS3 mobo, 7600GS gpu and a 400w Fortron PSU. What is happening is that sometimes (normally after I've had the unit on for a couple of hours, then switch off...

'" ..Thanks for the reply, MrJC. But how do I 'open a console'? Nothing like that on Settings." Don't know which desktop environment you're running (poss KDE ?), but look for something like xterm or konsole. Or try alt+f2, then type xterm in. Fire that up and you'll have a dos like...

'" .. Thanks for the reply. How do I change to 'root'? I am completely new to Linux." Open a console, then type su - , followed by the password assigned to root. After you've finished close the console down. Don't run normally as root. You could also try type dmesg in at a console, after...

Thanks to everybody who had a look - why is it that you always seem to sort a problem out, straight after asking for help ? It was the DNS server value, which I could have sworn that I provided ..

Hi all, Hoping somebody might be able to help with a question that I have with my 3com modem/router. If I use DHCP to obtain an IP address from the router, I can connect to the web fine. However, if I assign a static IP - I can connect to the router ok, no web access however. This is probably...

Hi all, Wondering if anybody could please help or shed any light on a problem that I've got using the Report viewer with VB6 (connecting to Oracle 8, using MDAC 6 and OLEDB). My application sucessfully displays reports under 98, NT4 and Win2000. However I'm getting 'Server Has not Yet Been...

Yep must admit Sunaj, that's what I thought - whenever I use direct assignment I always get '(MEMO)' as the return datatype (I have checked the actual data in the field). Even when assigned to a string - variant, still '(MEMO)'. Code wise, I'm using the following : RecordSetObject.Open...

Hi all, Was wondering if somebody could please help with the following problem that I'm having. I'm trying to read a field (type Varchar, length 8,000 chars) from a SQL Server database (using ADO 2.6 and the OLEDB provider for SQL Server). Trouble is I'm just getting '(MEMO)' as the return...

Thanks for the replies - you know, strange how something seems so ... err .. unclear at work, yet a few hours later you actually wonder why you were stuck on something? I need the weekend :) Anyways Ido, dgillz and Naith - cheers for the help, I'm following up on your suggestions, refining the...

Hi all, Quick question - I've looked through the group and I can't see anything similar, this is probably simple to do but it's getting late on a Friday and well that's my excuse :) I've got a running total field - now I'd like it to reset on each change of record instead of group. I don't...
