smary

I am sorry if I am being a bit vague - .  I will try and answer as best I can.  

The laptop which is wireless has a reasonable speed so does my android.  My desktop is the problem.  Laptop and android speed about 48 the desktop 9.  I run the test with each one individually not all switched on together.  From this I have to come to the conclusion its not the router.

I can't connect the desktop to the router - would have to get an very long ethernet cable.

I am running windows 10 and log in directly - not into a Microsoft account at least I don't think I do.  I just switch it on and away I go.

Can someone answer this question regarding the wi fi speed.  Is there something in the computer that could be faulty therefore not allowing the wi fi speed?

My desktop is in another room - but I have a laptop which I can connect via ethernet.  The two aren't connected at the same time so its not the laptop that slowing it down.  I am not using Norton.  It was working perfectly fast last week.

My cables are in the loft so have to wait for a kind son to come and get the box of cables down.

Just out of interest I looked at the wireless network properties and there are three boxes - only one is ticked - the connect only when this network is in range - the other two aren't ticked should they be?

going to find an ethernet cable and try that watch this space!!!!

BT have just done some checks - the speed to the house and presumable router is 72Mb  the speed on the computer is 9 Mb- so I have asked for the router to be changed - they are going to let me know.  The computer is wireless - there is no way I can wire it as its in a different room to the phone line.

my broadband speed has dropped from 48 mp to 9mp for seems to be no reason.  The BT team say they can not find the problem and I should have an engineer out £85.  Any of you guys got any ideas I could try first.  I have tried switching off the router and back on but no change.

Peter Pilkington was Purchasing Officer at Claywheels Lane.  Must have been two!!

I worked there late 60's - the names I remember are Gordon Franklin, Tom Smith(I think) Mr Longstaff, Jim Mcdonald - someone Steel.  Pauline Semmens, Jean Templeman, Jean Bullock, Ann Hudgell, Peter Pilkington, Dougie Dawson, Bob Winter, Mary Mellors, Dorothy Wright(she was the telephonist).  I also recall someone called Bissett who was transport manager.Anyone remember any of these?

I can tell you about Robert Winter -if anyone would like to know - he is my husband.  

Google chrome is working fine but when I first open it by clicking on the icon on my desktop it shoots on and off again before starting up probably.  Any ideas?

how would I customise windows media player not to acquire usage rights?

can anyone recommend a free cd copying software.  I have a disc I do not want to lose so wish to make a copy.

will get back to you when I next go to see her - she hasn't got much computer knowledge so I will have to be present to guide her.  She di say she had tried to follow the Microsoft advice but it hadnt worked.

the f drive shows its empty I think the problem is far more complex than just having a clean up

any ideas on how to stop this pop up - its driving my friend mad.  I haven't got the problem so any tips would be appreciated.

Like to keep you upto date - the problem is solved emailed the company and they arranged to send out a replacement, which at the moment is working!!!! 

Well swarfendor43 many thanks for that but its way above my pay scale - didn't understand a word of it accept 8 GB memory stick!!! Anyway contacted Govee and they are sending out a replacement so watch this space.

Thanks for reminding me. I have contacted Govee - lets see what happens

My friends new laptop came without a cd slot, I understand this is the norm these days.  She purchased an external cd drive Govee which we used to install a couple of software programs.  But today it won't work - the laptop says it doesn't recognise the drive.  We have tried it in all the usb slots but nothing.  I have brought the drive home to my computer and it is saying the same thing - cannot recognise the drive.  We are both using Windows 10.  Any help would be appreciated! Unfortunately the 30 day return date has just passed so can't return it.

Check out the phone books for Dronfield - there is a Raymond Glendinning on the electoral roll

There are several pictures on sheffield pictures of cottages.

I am wondering if I can view my photos on the tv from my tablet. I happened quite by accident weeks ago but since then I can't do it. When I scan for nearby devices on the tablet nothing comes up.

My friends new laptop has arrived without a cd drive. Can we use the old laptop to act as a cd drive so that we can put her software onto the new laptop. Also will a 8 gb flashdrive be big enough to make a recovery disc

I shall have to Google how to stream!!

My tv shows up on my computer can someone explain how I can make use of this??
