First Andavari, I use decrypter in conjuction with shrink when (how shall I put this) copying a commercial dvd. I couldn't get past first base with this dvd. Englishman, Have downloaded your suggestion, now a smilie on my taskbar. I take it there is no prog to run when using shrink and decrypter, this dvd43 just jumps in when it has to is that correct? Thanks

Anyone know of any software (preferably free) which would allow a friend to speak and have the computer type for him as he has hand mobility problems. Thanks for any ideas

No, I meant that the disc I was trying to rip played ok on tv and computer. It was as if shrink couldn't recognise it when it tried to analysed it. The name of the film didn't even appear in the drive just the letter. Could there be something in the disc to stop it being ripped I wondered, it was a fairly new one.

never have problems with shrink usually, but last night this error came up while ripping a dvd only 14 seconds into the analysing. (i/o device error) The disc plays ok on tv and computer. It's a sony disc but a metallic bronze colour. Any ideas why?

Not sure if its the same problem but Royal Mail computers were down today in England.

Had to think for a moment as gas in England is a fuel we cook with! Petrol over here is is really expensive at the moment, around 90pence per litre in the Yorkshire region of England. This is raising the price of goods in the shops also. There must be a top limit soon or we'll all have to walk to work. Sombody is making a packet at our expense I think.

It's always sad when people move on. All the best DJ and thanks for the knowledge.

My favourite at the moment (apart from the weather and clock) is the little green spaceman in the bubblecraft floating around the desktop, smiling!

Tried the cnet link twice but the download keep freezing, so I had to do it from the other link you gave. What a lot of fun little toys!! Thank you rridgley. Will yahoo bother me at all with popups or anything?

This is all new to me rridgley, so I had a liittle look and downloaded kitty clock.kon. Windows can't open it. Is this because I need to download the whole konfabulater prog and that would automatically change the extention, or can I change it myself somehow?

Like the look of Greeting card silver will try and find an outlet in England as it would cost more in postage than to buy the product.

When my daughter had a trojan (backdoor small 38r) Ewido was recommended to remove it after I went onto Google. She had McAfee which couldn't deal with it. It was easy to download, install and update. She went on to buy it after the free trial, costing ?18 for the year and is pleased with it. She also has CCleaner, spywareblaster, avg and spybot. No conflicts.

My mother told me that all Canadians talk slow so that their mouth can keep up to the speed of their brain, of course Newhotness I didn't believe her as she also told my brother to eat all his bread crusts as they would make his hair curl. He went bald!!!

Thanks very much for the reply. I have taken up your suggestion for Paint Studio lite 1.2. Easy to use, flexible and with a nice little help/tutorial section. Have a nice day!

What would anyone recommend as a nice easy (and free!!) to use little prog. to make birthday cards, posters etc using my photos and pictures. I don't really want to use Works as its a bit limited. Keep all my photos in Picasa Thanks for any suggestions.

I really enjoyed reading that!!

\The reason I asked about changing .ogg to mp3 was to put them on my mp3 player for when I am at work. I thought that if I left it as an .ogg file I wouldn't be able to drag it from my nero media to my mp3 player. Is there a way?

Now playing moonlight sonata while I type this! Thanks. P.S. Easy to download and work

I have just downloaded a piece of music with .ogg after the file name. What program would anyone recommend to convert it to mp3? (preferably free) Thanks

Just returned from a nice sunny, sand and rest holiday to read this thread. It is very important that this site stays open and working. People such as me can be likened to novice swimmers in a pool with you guys as lifeguards. To have somewhere to come with problems that are treat with dignity and respect even if they are trivial, gives confidence. I owe this site, as do others. STICK WITH US PLEASE.

Live a bit futher up country than London, but it still affects you. What has been uplifting is reading all the comments in this forum from people around the world. What a nice bunch you all are.

if you do contol-alt-delete and choose the performance tab this will show you your cpu usage, as to the Belarc Advisor log give it a click on the link in dj.lizards reply and you will get a bit of an idea there as to what it is. Sometimes it helps to put the terms you don't understand into Google, I do it all the time!!

Thought I'd let you guys know that I'm a 55 year old lady. Age really doesn't mean much unless you let it. You can learn from anyone, any age, who has experience of something that you haven't. you lot have taught me so much about computers, I THANK YOU ALL!!! Hazelnut

I am from Huddersfield England I cannot make out if the world is bigger or smaller when you have a computer! Hazelnut
