  1. There was talk of going to see the Shuttleworth Collection on Sunday. Browsing their site I notice that the house and grounds will be hosting the Bedfordshire County Show on the Sunday and Monday. Me thinks that the roads and site could get REAL busy.
  2. hey pook, thats great are you free for ts now?
  3. Hi, I need someone in the us to make a toll free call for me to a company. I purchased some certification software and can not get the licence to install correctly. I have sent an email but have not got any response. I really could do with getting it installed today. I will provide all the information and as i say it is to a 1-800 number. the company is in "CA" (is that california?) Any takers? Cheers Friar
  4. Found this over at "Skies of fire" and thought that i would post a link http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zsIz2bIBLwM
  5. dont know if it was pc world. i think its job done, i can get the data now, they have a new hard drive. so they have learned a lesson that they should have asked me first! thanks for all you help as allways
  6. also, bit of a long shot but any idea of what may have caused the drive to screw up like that? could it have been the update patially installed, although I was told that when shutting down the machine they were given the option to install and shut down or just shutdown, they just shutdown.
  7. Excellent, thanks guys. The only thing i had to do to enable this was to turn off "simple file sharing" to get the security options for her pc. I love you guys.........

    Happy BD Vila m8

    Salute M8 and hope you had a good one.
  9. Hi help also please with this one; Using Firefox 3.0.5, when I click on a mailto link from a website I get outlook express launching even though in tools/options/applications I have set outlook as the default mail client. I have also checked Outlook Express and it is set NOT to be the default client. Outlook launches but then Outlook Express launches as well and wants to send the mail, but I have not got it configured so of course it wont work. Any pointers please. Cheers Friar
  10. Hi guys, I wonder if someone could give me any advice on the folowing problem; I have been asked by a friend to try and recover data from a replaced hard drive. The drive was replaced before I got to see it because it was un accessable. Appently it became unaccessable after a windows update which was not installed, the machine was just switched off. The next time they switched the pc on it would not boot up. The machine was given to another party who has replaced the hard drive. I now have the drive. Using a USB 2.0 to IDE and SATA cable I have been able to acces the drive from my machine. Initially I was not able to read any information on the drive. I just received an error message (which I can now not remember what it said doh!) After doing some reasearch on the net I performed a "chkdsk /r" During the chkdsk there were numerous messages. Some related to orphaned files others related to indexs being re-calculated. I now have access to all the folders except the "My documents". When I try it says Access Denined". I have tried various security / permission settings but to no avail. I have tried taking it back to the original machine and using the cables plugged into that machine but got the same issue. The new hard drive does not have the same user names. The third party just generated a generic username. IS there anything else I could try? Cheers Friar
  11. actually, i thought the first thing he said was "You had better stand back, I am not sure how big this thing gets!"
  12. how about booking a double now. so long as you give them about a weeks notice they wont charge you if you cancel. you may get someone to share with lyou ike painless and sid are doing (boy would I NOT want to be the pillow between those two!)
  13. Sorted. just need to double check by using the same cd i used last night (cant get it at the moment as the wife is in the front room having a massage!) but another cd (Will Young- I know, it was from my daughters room) played fine. I actually dont think I have used this pc (its the one I brought home from work when I left) to play music on since having it home. That setting change seemed to work.
  14. My wife wanted to play a music cd in the computer last night. We use windows media player v11. The drive will work for reading data cd's ok Sound from the computer is fine (i.e game and windows "bings") When I play music cd's (and have tried 2 or 3) I get a noise on top of the music which sounds like scratchy, pulsating interfearence. Bit of a long shot, but anyone got any ideas?
  15. sged, the ques were not that bad at the ticket booths we went in at. last year we all pilled into my 7 seven seater from the pub (made life easier that way). the car park is about 10 minutes (traffic willing) from the pub. we went in around 9:30 10ish if i remember correctly so it was not too busy. you can order on line in advance from the web site and it will save a euro or two. tickets go on sale around march if i also remember correctly. you have to buy a ticket for a designated day, they are not transferable. we usually take the saturday. it will be really great to meet you. you will be wearing a dogz polo shirt on the day....wont you?
  16. Do you think you will be able to join us this year Roger? It would be good to meet up and perhaps treat you to a pint back at the Red Lion after.
  17. Computers! wow...last time it was a scapy diary with pencil marks all over it LOL!
  18. thats right, similar principle, the plane (in the german planes) should be vertical, so in your example, to need to turn to the right to bring the indicator back to 12o'clock
  19. tends to be maily german planes and will only work in the game when you are flying to waypoints, it is the next one that they are pointing towards. some allied planes have it also i believe
  20. that does not make sence painless. the chap i spoke to took my booking striaght away, so she is obviously mis-informed. i would ring back and tell them i sent you......
  21. Excellent chaps!, Prices are per night, they will take credit card details but only take payment when you leave. You must cancel AT LEAST 3 days before other wise you will be charged.
  22. I contacted the Red Lion at Duxford this morning ref Flying Legends on the 11th and 12th July. They are now taking bookings. Gambling that I will be able to afford it, I have made a reservation for a single room. The only thing this year is that they are insisting on a 2 night booking, so i have booked for friday and saturday nights. The room rates are £69.95 for a single and 99.95 for a double. Their phone numer for those that may be interested is 01223 832047 http://www.trlh.co.uk/ Friar
