    AGP aperture settings

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention I've got 4GB RAM, 3.25 showing up because I'm using 32-bit windows. I missed that setting when I was looking before, thanks. At work atm but will try when I get home and let you know.

    Reboot and select proper boot device, win7

    Is this a new install of 7? Was there another o/s on one of the other hdd's before you installed 7 or did you upgrade the o/s on the SDD to windows 7?

    Reboot and select proper boot device, win7

    I had this problem earlier this week. It turned out to be something to do with the port the hard disks were plugged into and windows looking in the wrong place for the boot sector on the disk. In the end I formatted about six times on three different hard disks, however I think there is an...

    Limiting the number of administrator accounts

    I've not had seven before, my prejudice is based solely on Vista. Twice I had to format my HDD trying to get drivers for my graphics card. When I finally got it working I found it slow and prone to crashes and incompatibilities. Saying that I'll probably go for 7 when I get my new system. Has...

    Vista - .EXEs seem to have lost "Associations"

    Vista Fix Yes, the same problem appears to happen under Vista as well as prior versions of Windows. The method described here should work but you have to do a bit more work as there is presently no .REG file download FILExt has created. When sufficient numbers of people have tested this there...

    Limiting the number of administrator accounts

    Cheers, I'm going to have a look at steady state and deep freeze. Not completely set against Windows 7, only used it briefly. It's just Vista that puts me of as I've heard that 7 is basically a completed version of Vista, and I had nothing but trouble with Vista. I see now that my idea for a...

    Limiting the number of administrator accounts

    The quality varies. Most shows are hosted elsewhere but the sites had been, until I got that crap, fairly safe. I use Firefox. I see where your coming form about AVG, it seems to have gotten worse instead of better over the past few years. It was fine when it was a stripoped down, sleek...

    Limiting the number of administrator accounts

    Sorry I wasn't very clear. I only intend to have one admin account and to use the computer with a power user account. I was wondering if there are any group policy settings, or anything similar that will permanently limit the system to only one admin account. When I got all virused up the last...

    Limiting the number of administrator accounts

    Recently my system was infected with a right nasty bit of software which flooded my computer with trojans, caused it to slow down to an almost unusable speed and worst of all hijacked my admin account. The *******. I think I've got that sorted, or at least to lie dormant for now. In the...

    Your favourite drinking games?

    Dunno what it's called. It's pretty long and you need a LOT of drink. Best with a group of 5 or more. All you need is a deck of cards and 2 large jugs. All the cards are spread out face down on the floor or a table. Each person then takes turns to pick a card. The cards are as follows...

    I present to you the NEW Jacob Billing....

    Could be right. Youtube profile says he is 18 year old and OCUK profile says he won't be 18 until Sunday. Still freaky coincidence with both of them having the same same PSU and graphics card.
