    Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a new phone for my dad at under the £100 Mark. He will be going from an old Samsung flip phone so needs to be as simple to use as possible with large text. I'm guessing it's going to be a touch screen android of some sort? Thanks

    Watch with AD

    No problem, You may need to let it play a little further or the button may not actually do anything. You should hear a narrator that's not part of the program describing what's happening on screen at certain points.

    Watch with AD

    Audio description. Subtitles are for the hard of hearing. AD is for the hard of seeing. It effectively describes what Is happening in between speaking parts.

    Hi Greg, Thanks for the reply. All looks good, except the prewash item. It appears you need a pressure washer for it which I unfortunately don't have, I would need to go to the local garage to get access to a pressure washer. The reason I mentioned the demon shine is that you can connect it to...

    Reinstalling Windows 8.1

    Had this issue on a mates laptop recently. I found a windows 8 x64 OEM ISO and installed this. Not sure if a 8.1 ISO would work so I played it safe with windows 8 as that is what it came with. Windows located the key from the bios. I believe the bios needs to be setup for UEFI though. Made a...
