After cleaning the pc out and replacing the processor's heat sink compound, everything is ok now. PC runs like it should, despite its great age!

Ok Geared, I hear what you're saying. But I think I'll keep this machine until it packs up a bit worse. Incidentally I am 87 years old. Do you think I need replacing too?

Could anyone sell me a disc for getting my HP C5280 printer scan. The scan function does work and I use it with the help of the Help program but it only tests one page of any document and then the test program has to be run again for the next sheet. With a disc I could scan as many sheets as I want. Can anyone help, please?

Thank you Zach and Ghozer. I ran a full virus search: nothing found. The machine was ok for ten years after I first got it and I've done nothing to over clock it. Now I'll try what you say, Zach and give the pc a physical clear out first, then a software cleanup. Thanks everyone again.

Thanks, Pyrotequila. I'll run the full virus scan now.

My computer quite often closes down without being prompted my me and the message "overclocking" appears. How can I stop it from doing this?

Good idea. I will get another free replacement Malwarebytes off the net and install it and let you know. Thanks. No, not yet but I will try that if a complete re install fails to clear the old programme. Thanks for the idea.

My Malwarebytes suddenly refused to open after successful operation for many years. So I tried to uninstall it, only for it to hang after it got to 23% deleted. How can I delete the rest of it?

Sorry to go off topic but I didn't know how else to get in touch. Could you please transfer me to questions about computer software.

No luck so far so I will try to buy an installation disc. What are the chances of finding one? I sometimes have a problem with my Epson sx118 printer's scanner but when I run its installation disc the problem goes away. I'm hoping the same thing would happen with an HP installation disc. Am I being reasonable with this? I used the HP printer doctor free download and with its help I managed to get the scanner to work but as soon as I tried to scan without the doctor it didn't work. I was hoping the doctor would fix the problem but it didn't. Any idea why not?

Is it possible to obtain another installation disc for an HP C5280 printer ? Has anyone got one to sell me?

Thanks everyone. But my HP printer C5280 isn't on this list andysym so I'm trying to download a driver from the HP website Ghozer. Vuescan thinks it downloaded something to me yesterday so I'm looking for it swarfendor437.

My HP C5280 has been working as printer and scanner for two years now. Suddenly my pc tells me it cannot open the scanner software because there is no TWAIN source. What does this mean? I noticed that the lack of TWAIN occurred just after Adobe Flash stopped supporting HP. Are these things connected? What must I do to recover the TWAIN source?

My tenor trombone is old but it plays. However, as the slide approaches its maximum length it starts to judder. It has to be moving but it doesn't make any difference whether I'm blowing or not. Why might it judder like this?

If a parcel or a letter with no franking on the stamp arrives, you can get the stamp off without leaving the small oval shape behind by soaking the stamp in water then carefully unpeeling it, being especially careful with the small oval part and not letting it separate from the rest of the stamp. A penknife or a scalpel can be useful here. Stick it on the next letter you post using a clear adhesive. I'm not sure but reusing stamps like this may be illegal, although how anyone would prove it had been used before I don't know.
