I get the feeling that Ian was doing a reconstruction of a badly behaved pooter last night...with Wendy standing over his shoulder looking none too happy

You bad lad...you mean you broke it already????

And Rhys thought I was bad with this one when it kept throwing its thingy wotsit out of the playpen [/QUOTE]

Well in doghouse, neither Telewest or packard bell helplines could reset pooter. Wendy had it in safe mode but even putting it back a couple of days wouldn't stop the fatal error coming up as soon as windows icons on screen.

She had to do a total wipe and reload from recovery discs -  started at 7pm, still going. Think I have a lot of grovelling to do. It is a few years old and can only be upgraded so far, but maybe getting the max RAM it'll take so it'll run XP would be a good move, even Microsoft don't recognise 98SE anymore and I can't run to �200 for a new one this month!

Erm..no Rhys..not this one...the 'other one' and you have, thank you muchley...I didn't want that thread to start going in the direction of personal slanging, just for it to be there for healthy debate, but as with a few things recently, it didn't go as planned.

Thanx for leaving this one alone and sorting the other one

Perhaps Uncle Niggles has frightened them away...

Not like it was last year, is it?

Looks like they done the same this evening too....too much partying me finx

Don't worry Rhys, my Irish spanners are safely tucked away in the cupboard..the pooter is safe from bodily harm, although it does get yelled at and sworn at occasionally though
