    Name the Game?

    I have often thought about the Silent Hunter series, but somehow running a german submarine sinking royal navy ships when my dad was in the navy just does not seem right and often ran the risk of u-boats himself, indeed he told me once of a situation where there were survivors in the sea from another vessal that had been hit but they could not stop because they knew that there was a u-boat in the area. However if there is a pacific version running a us sub sinking japenese tonnage, that may be different.

    Thanks guys for your replies. They have helped...I think.

    @Pete

    you multiply them because you have 1/2 of a group of 1/10

    The answer is 1/20.

    I am confused by what you say in the above quote however. The question states that 1/10 of the 1/2 are left handed not 1/2 of the 1/10

    chris,

    i was just typing you a message when you posted.

    ref your copy with sp2, will that be ok to use (future updates etc) as i get current version older message and creating as slipstreme looks a little complicated, do-able, but complicated.

    if i could your version it would be easier i feel

    cheers

    Hi Chris,

    You have previosly very kindly sent me the xp pro and xp home install disks with keys, so I have them.

    The machine is a HP and I have the operating system cd that came with it. although on the disk it says it should only be used with the restore cd, when i put it in to have a look at its contents, it did come up with the install xp menu.

    My plan is to re-install from this disk (although its sp1) and then apply sp2 from a the microsoft sp2 cd.

    The uninstall routine i found via google but here is the link

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us

    The most worrying thing about this is the loss of the .msc routines, the only thing I am now starting to think about is that I recently downlaoded regclean and may have accidently when scrolling down the screen clicked on an entry which has caused this problem, but that is not definate.

    its 09:40 now, i have a couple of other little jobs to do and plan to start the install around 10:30 so hopefully you will reasd this before then if there is any thing i should not be doing.....

    Cheers

    Colin.

    Simple remote help utility

    in Help!!

    I was pointed in the direction of www.showmypc.com by a guy at microshaft when looking at my problem in the above post.

    it is a free service and seems simple for anyone to use.

    I went to the went site and clicked on the "show my pc" button. this downloaded a simple/quick little program which generated a password/key.

    there is another option, which i assume the support guy used which was "look at another pc". i had to tell him the key, which i assume he then entered. and hay presto, he was in.

    i will try and use it from the support side and post back on its ease of use.

    My problem in on my machine at work.

    I had my recent install of Office 2007 go funny on me, decided the only option was un-install and then re-install.

    Problem 1. I was not able to remove it via the recommended method of add / remove programs in the control panel so had to go through a long winded method which involed registry edits and deletes.

    Problem 2. I am not able to run any .msc services. i get an error message saying that i either dont have permission (i do/should) or that the mmc is of a later version

    Problem 3. After going through the uninstall routine I am not able to reinstall. I just get a message that says set up failed to comple and we are sorry for the inconvenience.

    Question 1 - I think the os may be screwed in some parts. the pc is working fine for everything else.

    Can i re-install the os over the top of the existing install.

    Question 2 - I am on sp2 , however the version of the os disk i have which came with the machine is sp1. a guy at microshaft said that it would be ok, do you agree?

    any other advice welcome

    Cheers

    Colin.

    Jim,

    The ship will change direction when you plot a waypoint. You used a moving ship. The rotaion with the keypad numbers only works on stationery objects.

    When you use the ctrl and left click to plot a waypoint from the object, it will re-orientate to that direction.

    the numberpad keys will not work in this instance.

    Cheers

    Edit .pdf files for free

    Does anyone know of a free package that would enable me to edit .pdf documents.

    I have one-off requirement to be able to edit an existing document that is in adobe .pdf format.

    I am trying to avoid at work spending £250 on a full copy of adobe acrobat

    The other option is to be able to take the text from a .pdf and put it into a word document

    Any one got any ideas?
