I've had 4 x 85Mbps home mains ethernet adapters working adequately throughout the house for the past 4 years - we're in a rural location so only get 4.5Mbps through the landline. I now want to add another, preferably a 3 port single plug such as one offered by "Teckstar" on ebay (item...

Thanks! Found it - I have to create a new account and choose IMAP. Editing an existing account doesn't work.

I'm using Outlook 2007 on a Win7 PC to access my Gmails, and as has been noted in other threads, reading and deleting a mail in Outlook does not delete it in Gmail, or even show that it's been read. Gmail's help describes how to rectify this in Outlook 2010, but the required options do not...

Probably the wittiest was Bill Bryson's a Walk in the Woods

For fiction, you can't beat the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson - starting with the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. For non-fiction, Most Secret War by R.V.Jones is a fascinating autobiographical account as head of Britain's Intelligence Section of the RAF during WW2. Or try the Vietnam War...

No, there can't be any cached versions as the site only went live today. Maybe it's because the pages were created in MS Publisher, and are therefore more compatible with IE? Our domain host told us we should use Adobe Dreamweaver ... but not on our budget!

We're setting up a village domain, and being total newbies have encountered some issues. The main one is that photos are showing fine in IE, but in Firefox many show coarse grey shading - see below Any suggestions?

One.com appear to offer very competitive deals for web hosting - does anyone have any experience to share? As far as I can gather they are originally Danish but now "international". They don't appear in the web host review www.ochostreview.co.uk/ - Any comments?

Ah - there's the problem. The outline is extremely complex and would take weeks to pick out using the selection tool. I've tried creating masks automatically but I can't get that to work either.

Thanks but I must be going wrong. When I pull down layer (in Photoshop 8) and hit "new layer" all the options including drop shadow are greyed out. If I create a new layer using background (ie the scan) I can then set drop shadow settings, but nothing happens - it seems to be treating the...

How do I create a drop shadow of a scanned image in Photoshop or Photopaint? I've scanned a painting of a pine cone on a white background and want to add a drop shadow. Is there any way to do this in Photopaint? The problem is I can't select the cone as an object and separate it from...

If a low energy bulb is connected on a dimmer circuit, does it draw current? Reason is I've just bought a security light which I now find stays on dim all night but switches to full voltage when the PIR detects motion. I can take it back for a refund, but I'm wondering if a low energy bulb...

I've had my Pure DMX-60 for 6 months now and am still chuffed to bits with it. I did though upgrade the speakers to a pair of Tannoys, which are slightly smaller and neater looking than the Pure (to keep the wife happy). The SD reader occasionally stalls but that may be due to a cheap card...

I've recently switched ISP from NTL/Virgin (cable) to Demon (ADSL) due to house move to non cable area. Now find that Demon does not include access to its News Server with the £17.99 pm Home pack - it only comes with the Home Business pack at £22.99 Does anyone know of a free news server...

If you're running peer-to-peer filesharing or something equally heavy, then BT is almost certainly restricting you during the peak hours.
