In the admin.tools section in the control panel the applications has an event veiwer log of every error I have had since I got my computer. There is an option to delete these. Do I ever need to do this? Or is it wise to have such a list to hand.

I think it's well thought out Tarun. Have voted for all, but would like to see Ewido and Windows Malicious Software removal tool with links in the pro version.

There may be some info which will help you on this link http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/15173.html

Probably Picasa because I use it a lot.

Is this link of any use to you englishmen? http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0079.html

I'm sure people do care, your post may have been overlooked. I see in the link you gave the person's problem was solved by reinstalling msn explorer. I presume you have tried this. One of the more experienced people will give you specific advice soon, just hold on.

It's a programme I wouldn't like to be without. Well done Mr G.

Glad you took the position on rridgley, I'm sure your common sense will help in any decisions you have to make. On a lighter note, yes I did curtsey as I wrote this!!!!

Read today's announcements -A message from MrG

In case anyone has a nero package I have also managed to do it with this, but had to put on the hard drive first before burning to dvd

Glad to see things are moving forward. As has been said someone has to really WANT to do it. and have the time. Not in any order my nominations would be, rridgley, Capman, Tarun and Andavari.

I have managed to burn a videotape to dvd and this is what I did. Bought a composite video and audio cable kit consisting of 3 double ended cables with a red ended one, yellow ended one and white ended one. (these were reasonably cheap) Plugged them first into the corresponding colours on the back of my vcr player, the bit that said video and audio out. Then I plugged the other ends into the corresponding colours on my computer. Next I brought up Power producer gold (part of the powerdvd package that came with the computer) put a dvd disc in, chose analog as the place I was recording from, chose PAL because I will play it in uk, opened tools and selected things like composite and the audio source .Started vcr playing, pressed record on computer and I was really amazed at the picture quality of the finished dvd. I didn't need a lot of space as it burned the disc straight from the source and not onto the hard drive first. PS Had to out my microphone while I did this.

Try ASH 1977

I will try all this out over the next few days and let you know how it goes. Thanks for your time

I have had a look at "the codec 3 from your site. Question 1. It says it's tested on 32 bit computers mine is 64 bit(not that I really understand that), will this make any difference? Question . Do I have to get rid of Free cd-da extactor prog for .ogg file to mp3 converter before download?

Thanks for the reply gunner. I will take out the mike and try power dvd again. I don't know if you realised that I am trying to get old videotapes from my vcr to the computer and then burn them to dvd. (I already use shrink for copying dvd's) Also which codec pack would you recommend that I get for general use?

I have a power dvd package which says I can convert my videos from my vcr player into dvd's by plugging into the svideo outlets on both computer and vcr and off you go. I have had a try but not really much to show for it yet. One thing I really want to know is should the microphone on my camera ( for msn) be disconnected as the only bit that worked of the attempt was the heated discussion recorded between me and my other half as to where to stick the cables!!

I have also been wondering about the advice Mr Clean gives and the manner in which he does it. So I mentioned it to him (see "edit profile" post) in the lounge

Thanks for that, another thing I've learnt!!

Hello Mr Clean As some of our friends on this forum have English as a second language, it would be really helpful if you could write using full words if possible. Nice of you to join in the forums.

Aqumon, The link you gave I went and checked out what was in my startup. Under the N's (250-299) was NvCplDeamon - a trojan! Good job I took another good look, my invdia graphic card is NvCplDaemon just one letter different. However I liked that site, (even though it nearly gave me a heart attack)

Heard from Mr24k that he finally used the cleaner and freed up an enormous amount of space. Well done !! The issues btton works more or less the same way, be brave, and give it a go.

Downloaded the blue energy windows theme for desktop and background (from the microsoft site) however I changed it back to my original theme as it made some bits of this forum load very slowly. I guess it could have just been a coincidence?

Hello and welcome to the forum M24k! Don't be too worried it's a very safe prog. Choose cleaner (paintbrush icon), and under the WINDOWS tab I have all boxes ticked apart from the advanced section.(if you have saved passwords don't tick the auto complete form history) Click analyze and be very surprised at how much space you are going to free up . Click run cleaner and don't be worried when it says you will be deleting all of what's there. IT WILL NOT HARM YOUR PROGS OR ANYTHING it's nearly all bits and bobs from surfing and such like. You may notice your computer will run faster. As for the issues button I'm sure one of the more experienced members of this forum will be able to explain this better than I.

Went to the link oli, and downloaded what I thought was the free one, Dictation 2002, but it turned out to be the one you pay for, Dictation 2005, needing a code to unlock. It was a hefty 41mb download it said, however when I uninstalled it it said 64mb!! I may try again trying a different link. It did sound a good prog. Thanks for the help, find anymore just let me know and I'll try them out
