Rich   12 #145 Posted February 6, 2007 So, having read this thread and other stuff about Vista, it appears that software that MS doesn't "like" won't work on it?  What the hell?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

esme   10 #147 Posted February 7, 2007 ...have you ever come across people who seem to have an eery effect of electronic equipment, are you one of them?...  yep I am one  when I was at uni I could crash the PDP11/34 by walking into the room where it was housed once I managed it by just approaching the door, users would cringe when they saw me, if I used a telephone a roar of static would slowly build so I couldn't hear who I was talking to after a minute, and I could pick up a static charge sufficient to zap someone on the nose just by walking across a room  then when I started work I seemed to have the opposite effect, someone complains about something not working, I wander over to have a look and it miraculously bursts into life, so I transferred to IT support  obviously I'd mastered my powers by then ... or started wearing more cotton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I could have bought a lottery ticket, won and retired on that pound ... damn I should have charged more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lalaland   10 #155 Posted February 12, 2007 No-one at all?  If you are only receiving the BBC and it's a crap pitcure then I'd suggest you try a different arial and run a rescan of channels again.  What arial do you have plugged in to it? Does the same arial get a decent picture on a TV set? (if it's an indoor arial, have you tried it in that location where the PC is with a TV) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
