Yahoo Radio does this already! And has done for years. You can listen to preset stations or create your own. You answer some questions and it picks out some music for you, then you rate each song as it plays (if you want) to help it specify music for you. You also have deezer that streams...

Hi. Question about this case and its cooling. It has a fan at the front on the bottom.... Inside showing front fan (bottom right of picture): But, the outside does not have a grill or any obvious way of letting air in to be sucked through by the fan. Outside, no grill or air...

I see, easy to see how people get confused. Cheers! Doug.

Just a little add on question.... I know about megabits and megabytes, but what are their shorter terms (such as Gb etc). As a well known broadband company in the UK advertises their speed as SPEECH: "50 megabits", TEXT: "50Mb". Now I thought 'Mb' was megabytes, like 'GB', or is 'MB'...

Virus can spread through a network I think, however if you have adequete virus protection and firewall on the new computer it should stop it from causing any trouble. It is definitely worth getting some antivirus software on your computers as that will probably be able to sort out the virus' on...

Good stuff! Doug

That meant to be a link..? 'Cos all that specifies is the CPU type and a motherboard. More details..... Cheers, Doug.

Should you be opening that file....? :D Can you try to open it on another 64-bit computer...? Maybe if you do and then re-save it.... Not exactly a technical solution but it's the kinda thing I would give a try. Doug.

Proccessor = better Screen = better HDD = better RAM - its DDR, DDR is getting increasingly hard to get cheaply, but you could still upgrade the RAM. It is also an indicator of the age of the system in general. Desktop OS? Do you need wireless? Motherboard = review/specs - upgrade...

Just been looking a bit further and this product on eBay has something interesting written in its description: Hope that helps, Doug.

I think I read somewhere that VGA (from a computer) cannot be turned into component signal. Although you can buy the cables !?! I am pretty sure about that as originally I wanted to hook my laptop upto my TV like that. I had to use S-Video instead. That works fine, although resolutions aren't...

Have you considered uni - part time or full time? Computer Science or something similar. Your thing on the right under your name says you live in London. There's loads of uni's there so you don't need to move. You would count as a 'mature student' so would get a shed load of grants and stuff...

You can create a custom scan (I expect - I don't have AVG) where you can tell it to scan certain things. Or just right click on a folder (eg My Documents) and "Scan with AVG" should show up on the menu that comes up. Alternately you can scan all your computer (including all the Windows...

Hi. Nowadays it is easy to switch internet (compared to dialup etc - which I am guessing you don't have). You got a broadband modem? The you should plug in the ehternet cable and XP will hopefully recoginse the network omn its own. If not you may have to use a wizard to set that up - but its...

This type of hardware! Doug.

I know "ctfmon" isn't a virus. I was talking about "dumpreport" that doidge mentioned in his post that he/she believes is a virus!

What is ctfmon.exe - Handy that I happened to stumble across this at work yesterday! So basically, ctfmon.exe isn't harmful. Now that you have discovered that you have the virus you should create a new post in the Security section, and put the HijackThis and Malware reports in. The sticky at...

Beat me to it!

Buy it. Thats the only legal way. Are you a student? Uni's/colleges often sell it dirt cheap. Or you can consider Open Office. It has the equivalent to Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint as well as a few other apps. Its completely free and fully compatible with your existing .doc etc files...

12Gb RAM...? 2TB HDD...? What are you planning on doing with this computer? Where are you buying it from? Link to the page? Doug.
