Hi all, I use my desktop a lot to temporarilly store files. I always have, so I notice when something changes. Just yesterday, I started having a 4 or 5 second 'pause' before the menu appears when clicking on files on the desktop! Until yesterday, this was, as I would expect it to be...

Ok, this is driving me MENTAL! GRR! My laptop will not connect to my home PC! When I try to Map a network drive Vista asks for a password, and there isn't one! How do I get round this please? Oh, I have another PC in the house (windows 7) and Mapping a network drive is as simple as saying...

I just reinstalled a customers PC with windows Ultimate. After setting up her network, all her database, programs etc... We found that windows won't boot unless the Windows dvd is in the cd rom drive! It just gives the Hard disc failure error at post! It must be getting some kind of boot info...

Hi all, been a LONG while since i have been here. And i'm here because of a problem that doesn't 'appear' to be too commonplace (not easy to google anyways) yet I have seen it on many PC's myself. I talk about AVI audio being out of sync with the picture (usually behind it). I see it all the...

Upon booting a customers machine everything works absolutely fine. However she has a dial up connection that when clicked on (or attemted to be reached through start bar/connect to) the machine hangs for about 3 minutes but after that period the machine connects and continues as if nothing has...

Hi all, weirdness from me as usual :) A customer of mine has recently had a problem with her network. It seems weirdly to have fixed itself, but aside from that there seems to be another 'issue' that I only noticed on coming to solve the network problem. For the last week or so the SQL Server...

Hi all, I am posting for a friend of mine because he has the weirdest problem I have ever seen. (plus because of it he cant get online to do it himself) Recently he was using his TVout to transfer some video tape to normal VHS. All went well... After this, about 2 days after his monitor...

This is a genuine Microsoft error report that I got today. I have not tampered with the wording at all! For me, and I believe you good people who frequent this site, its just too damned funny for its own good... I had to share it... just check out the part I've highlighted :)

Hi all, Cant quite figure how this happened, but its not causing any adverse effects so usually I wouldnt worry.. HOWEVER, the customer I am doing this for will be very jumpy that it does something 'it never used to' (sure you've all been there) All its doing is giving an option to boot into...

Hi all, I'm not really even sure how to word all this, let alone actually make Access do this for me. So please bare with me. I am not a programmer, Access programming confuses the hell out of me as I cant find a basic enough tutorial to start to learn, although I need to do something that...
