I think it could be of assistance to members to have a
thread to pass on help and/or tips. So to start the ball rolling. Posting a photo I use Photobucket as an example here. Generally the easiest way is to sign up to an online host upload your photos to a host web site, e.g. http://photobucket.com/ - http://photobucket.com/ or http://www.flickr.com/ - http://www.flickr.com/ .etc..

What a great tread. You go into a shop and buy a computer and then bring it home. Most people unless they work in the industry get out of touch with the new technology very quickly. So It is a great idea to pass on some tips. Anyone know how to improve download speeds? I have tried Portforward.com but to no avail. IP address is fixed and cannot change it so if anyone knows how I would appreciate it.

  In my opinion I avoid downloading and installing Internet Toolbars. From experience I have found that toolbars can slow computer down and also internet browsing. They can be easily uninstalled from Start\"Control Panel" and "Add/Remove Programs". Some people find them handy to use so it each person preference. If you are using them and you are having a problem that some pages are not opening in a pop-up window you need to "Disable the Pop-up" Blocker on the tool bar. Depending on how many "Toolbars" you have installed you you will need to disable them on all the toobars ------------- "Legal downloads is killing Piracy" http://www.flickr.com/groups/th |

Great thread Finno! I'm gonna pass on the best bit of IT advice I ever received - GET A MAC!!!! In my experience PCs are nothing but trouble, slow and full of viruses. Macs make sense - even the IT retarded like myself can find their way around without any trouble. Vote Mac I say - for an easier life! Well worth the extra few quid.

I love my Macs! and have never had a problem (apart from those caused by the big nut in front of the keyboard ) question - We have a Dell desktop that was working fine till recently - it now takes 5 mins to boot up and load firefox. What should I check? I've run norton utils, ccleaner & spybot, and stopped anything in startup. I'm going to put in more memory, but as it had been working happily, I'd like to know what happened. Nothing has been installed apart from XP updates. Thanks ! CP |

Windows seems to have hijacked my whole system as my main whatever its called was google. Now its some microsoft.com something or other. Not too much of a problems as I just go to google but annoying I cant access my hotmail account properly. It lets me go into it, but I cant open the emails. So I can see I have an extra email, but I have to go to my laptop where I haven't downloaded anything to open it!!!! What can I do.

Right - my €0.02 Anti Virus: Notron & McAfee are crap overweight programs and waay overpriced for what they do. Uninstall them straight away and install something like http://free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe - AVG Free . Firewall: Stop intrusions on your PC/laptop and also stop software on your machine accessing the interweb if you don't want it to. http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/catalog/products/zonealarm_free_firewall.jsp - Zonealarm is what I have on the PC. Spyware: http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php - Ad Aware - again free! Alternative to MicroSoft Office - http://www.openoffice.org - Open Office - open, edit and save MS Office (Word/Excel/Access/PowerPOint) files. There are loads of free pieces of software out there just as good, if not better that the ones you pay lots of money for! -------------

Gary / Pete - I had a lot of trouble with McAfee no matter what I did could not un-install it. Eventually had to get a patch to do it. I have Kaspersky which I bought - it covers the PC and the three laptops . I find it very good and it was only €10 for multi user. It updates automatically.

from Flickr or Photoshop etc etc all you are doing is creating a link
to the your picture on Flickr from Grove site.. If we all started to
"upload pictures" on to the Grove Website it will take up space and
slow the Grove site... Flickr and Photoshop host the photos on their
own servers.

I do have the other link "Add Image" but it seems I need a URL to it that way. I have succesfully posted images with the other link. Any Help, Thanks I just checked a lot of Topics to see....It seems there are only a few I can use the tree w/arrow icon to post from my PC but MOST of the Topics don't have the second icon. I can post in "Interesting Pics" but not in "St. Annes" and MOST others. Is there a way to use the URL one if posting from ur own PC. I have pics of St. Annes circa 1966/68...not great pics cause of age....but pics just the same. WHY DON'T I HAVE THE SECOND ICON IN ALL TOPICS! And before I get Chastized....I am SHOUTING...LOL ------------- BrendanFella IRISH DIPLOMACY IS....The ability to tell a man to Go To Hell so that He looks forward to making the trip. |

Hey Brendan, I noticed that too a while back and couldn't sort it, so I put my few pics on to Flickr and used the url icon to link to them. Sorry if that's not much help, but sticking them on Flickr is free anyway! Monarch - on iTunes: (and the Music icon selected) your iPod will sync all songs that are 'ticked'. Untick all the ones you don't want to go on the iPod, then with the Devices/ipod icon selected, click Sync - et voila! hope that helps CP |

Thanks to those who gave a way of doing it....BUT... To the powers that be...Is there any reason the option cannot be the same in all topics? ------------- BrendanFella IRISH DIPLOMACY IS....The ability to tell a man to Go To Hell so that He looks forward to making the trip. |

Could anyone help I got a windows update ( bloody vista) on the laptop - everytime I reboot I get "don't turn off your computer windows is configuring 1-3 updates." But it never configures. So everything is grinding to a halt. I turned off the anti virus and rebooted - nothing. It won't let me uninstall the update but gives me no error code. It is driving me nuts. Had a look on line and could not understand any of the posts. HEEEEEELLLLLP ------------- mary |

How long are you leaving it to Configure ??It normally comes up when you shut down PC... Leave it for a while it could take a good while sometimes

Thanks Pete, Brendan, Left it running all night last night - still the same. Brendan, it is telling me that the update is installed - it just has not configured. BLOODY VISTA Brendan - just 43 more posts to go and you will be in the "inner sanctum" ------------- mary |

Not IT at all but still need help. I have a Dolby car stereo that has radio, casette player and holds 10 cd's (in boot of car). Radio and cassette deck work ok. My cd player worked for the first few weeks but now it won't work at all. When I try to play a cd it says 'error'. I've tried turning them around, putting it in the other way etc Help, any other ideas I can try. (the garage want at least $80 to just look at it. Not paying that obviously) I'm not sure how old the stereo is, the car is 2003 Grand Jeep Cherokee (not sure if that makes a difference) ------------- Lesley 25th June - 25th July.

I have it on the laptop here and its fine - never been any issues. However, it needs a decent processor and at least 2Gb of RAM!

I've always been an Apple guy, love their stuff & I've never had any Microsoft products at all. My wife got a laptop this year with Vista and we all love it. No problems at all (edit - except below!). As you say K, it does have 2Gb. Maryi, (may be relevant) I did have to download install Service Pack1 a dozen times, but persevered and it worked! |

Lesley, the problem could be either a dirty lens, or a bad connection from the box in the boot, to the player. Try a lens cleaner cd, else could you hook up the CD player box to an amp in the house to test it? CP |

Thanks Ciaran, I'll get Jim to try that. Its strange that it was working fine for a couple of weeks and then just stopped working. I'll get Jim to check the connection too. You can hear it whirring around trying to select a cd, picking one and then 'error'. very annoying ------------- Lesley 25th June - 25th July. Get organising my nights out. Child can stay in the car.

Lesley, this might sound stupid...but try swapping CD's n see if the prob goes away....If you have one bad CD in there it might lock it up. Hey, at least it would be cheap if that's the prob...or select each CD number seperately, does it happen w all? ------------- BrendanFella IRISH DIPLOMACY IS....The ability to tell a man to Go To Hell so that He looks forward to making the trip. |
